My co-worker is a fountain of misinformation!! 5/14 the day has come page 130

[Evil Genius]

I sit next to a lady who is in her 60's she knows everything about everything, some of the things she tells people would curl your hair.

Today's gems included...

If you have Lasik eye surgery, you will have to put special, expensive drops in your eyes for the rest of your life. (I had Lasik 3 years ago, use drops maybe once a week, OTC kind)

There is nothing to see or do in San Antonio TX. It is all Mexicans. (My apologies to all Texans)

There aren't any emergency rooms in Canada, because of their health care system. If something goes wrong, you have to wait weeks to see a doctor no matter how sick you are. Her friends husband had a heart attack and she put him in the car and drove him across the border.

And don't you DARE tell her that she's incorrect. That could lead to WW III. I sit in my cubicle and shake my head

[PhotobearSam]

Give her my email addy...I'll tell her she is wrong. I live in Canada and I have been to several emergency rooms and they have better wait times then the ones in the US most of the time.


You must want to choke her on a daily basis.

 

[chasbos]

Don't people like that just want to make you scream and shake them to their senses!

I can vouch for you on the Lasik surgery!

And the funniest thing of all is that here in Ontario if you want to be seen by a doctor you had better just show up in the ER - it is the only way you are going to be seen. We are so short on Dr's it is not funny and it can take weeks to get an appointment to see your family Dr.

Can you put an iPod or something in your ear and zone her out?

 

[pearlieq]

Oh dear Lord...

You know, if one day you did snap I guarantee no jury would ever convict!!!

 

[Heidict]

Sounds pretty ignorant to me.

 

[Wish I lived in Fl]

DH had a coworker like that. It got to be a work joke. There were facts and then there were "Joefacts".

at my job....we have 'Perryisms'....

 

[ericamanda01]

I'm sorry but I would have a hard time not laughing out loud at some of those. I grew up in Texas and there is plenty to do! But the ER one is really funny!

 

[Mouse House Mama]

Well now I am expecting a daily post of what she has to say about certain things! Let us in on her knowledge!!!

 

[disneygirl725]

Yes!!! I understand. Mine knows something about everything and never shuts up. She's like you look busy, then tells me a story, which turns into another one and another one. At first I thought it was because she didn't have many friends, but she has more friends than anyone I know.

She's also diagnosed me and half of the office with some type of ailment relating to ADHD or autism (her daughter is high functioning autistic). I just have no words sometimes.

I just take me head all day long and say you got this job how??

Ditto!

OT - The emergency room thing? My DFi fell off the deck a few months ago while shovelling it off (don't ask) & thought he'd broken his ankle. Managed to drag himself to the door & bellow for me to call an ambulance. After finding out what he was yelling about, I told him we couldn't afford an ambulance, so I'd call a cab. Turns out our work insurance would have covered it! Poor guy - I have since assured him that if he's having a heart attack I will 911, and NOT a cab.

 

[Honu]

Does she know what is gonna happen to my lasiked eyes that stopped receiving drops when the bottle I got after surgery went dry 5 years ago? I need to know.

 

[Rafiki Rafiki Rafiki]

I can clear up the Texas thing. Tell her there isn't a single thing to do in the ENTIRE STATE, as verified by someone who LIVES in the state and LOVES it that way. Tell her it is overrun with Mexicans AND stupid people.

Tell her that when you come here, you have to get shots as if you were traveling to Asia or something. It's better if she just stays away.

If anyone needs me, I'll be in San Antonio, doing NOTHING for the next three days. I won't be at Sea World, I won't be eating TEX-MEX, and I surely won't be going to a SPURS game.

Don't ever play the lottery. EVERYONE you know will sue you for the money. And it will all go to the(&%$^ lawyers.

Our boss brought in pictures of her son at daycare. You could tell the girls were playing dress up.

Co-worker "Why are the girls all dressed up?"
Boss "I don't know"
Co-worker "Why isn't your son all dressed up?"
Boss "I didn't know he needed to be."
Co-worker "You need to find out about these things he looks awful"

and on and on and on, nothing nice said about Boss' son.

Boss wants to take us to lunch on Thursday. Where would we like to go? I suggest Applebee's, co-worker suggests Red Lobster. Because "after all you have to stick it to the company any way you can." Wanna bet the boss never takes us to lunch again?

All this and I've only been at work for 2 hours. It's going to be a long day.

 

[Briarmom]

Red Lobster. Because "after all you have to stick it to the company any way you can."

Thanks. I needed that!

 

[dodukes]

That is too funny!!! Stick it to the man!!!..lol...

I mean really our boss has taken us to Red Lobster, around here they have plenty of cheap ($10 or less) lunch specials, its not that fancy!!...lol..
she is too funny.

I think we should all pitch in and send you an ipod...LOL

You'd miss her if she was gone and you didn't have all that "logic"

 

[Mr. Malaprop]

Wow, it's good to know there are other company's with "Cliff Clavins" working there, too. Your's is a real doozey!
