I'll join in:
At the grocery store:
Please don't let your groceries pile up at the end of the belt and wait for the checker to bag them. If there is no bagger, get up there and bag them yourself.
...and for the baggers.... don't make the bags so heavy you need a crane to lift them.
Don't ask to get in front of me in the checkout line.
Please put your cart in the corral. (I know this is a hotbed subject for some stupid reason) but I actually caught someone jamming their cart next to my car, and I was parked next to the corral.
At home:
Make the kids pick up their toys. I don't want my living room to look like the bargain basement at FAO Schwartz.
Put the dishes in the dishwasher, or if you are going to leave them in the sink, for the love of dog rinse them out.
If I sweated my fat A$$ off roasting a chicken with stuffing and roasted vegetables, don't take the kids to McDonalds because they "didn't want chicken" and then got nuggets anyway.
Differentiate between the 10 year old and the 3 year old. The 10 year old is not an invalid. He is perfectly capable of making a sandwich.
At work:
To my coworker:
I do not care about what adorable thing your kid did today. Your kid is not adorable. I've only ever seen pictures of him. You need to find a new topic of conversation because all you talk about is "my Donte."
To the patients:
Please do not bring you entire extended family into the ER for granny's ingrown toenail and then complain about the wait yelling that you have to get the kids/wife/grandpa/husband home.
The ER is not the deli counter, it is not 1st come, 1st served. The sickest are seen 1st. Granny's ingrown toenail does not take precedence over Mr. Smith's stroke, no matter how long you have been waiting.
I am a nurse, not a waitress. I am not here to serve your family meals or coffee. If you are the patient I will feed you. If your family is hungry or thirsty they can go to the machines, the cafeteria, or across the street to the Wawa.
Also we are not CVS. We are not here to provide extra medical supplies or fill your prescriptions. You actually need to go to the CVS if you are going to need more bandages, and you will have to pay to have that prescription filled. I cannot give you your pills to go.
911 is one way only transportation. Unless you are disabled and require ambulance transport the hospital is not responsible for your transportation home.
In general:
Yes, I am tall. Ridiculously so for a woman. Yes I know I am ridiculously tall. No I don't wear heels. No I didn't play basketball. Yes, my husband is shorter than me.
