Today I had a patient call and ask me if he could bring in his portable toilet when he comes in for his appointment because our restroom was too far away and he needs to be able to get there in 5 seconds because he has a urinary tract infection. I work in a small out patient physical therapy clinic, at times we will see 1-4 patients an hour and our closest restroom is just down the hall (less than 20 secs away), we have rooms but they aren't private (no doors, just a curtain to close).

Which brings me to wonder...what weird/odd/gross/out of the ordinary things have others been asked ?

    When I was a teen, I worked as a cashier and a lot of people would ask me to fill out their checks for them when they made a purchase by check. I always thought that was odd, especially when I was like sixteen and the person didn't seem to be doing it because they were lazy...often it was men who seemed to have never written a check before and they seemed so impressed and/or relieved that I could help them. What?!

    Just random things people ask you when they hear you live in Alaska ..

    Do you live in an igloo ?
    Is it always light/dark? - This one gets a pass ...
    Do you have a pet moose ?
    do you have running water and electricity?



    Seriously.

    When I was pregnant with my first child son random lady came up to me at Target and asked if she could touch my stomach. I actually let her but I couldn't imagine going up to some stranger and asking to touch them. :laugh:

    My 7-year-old asked me yesterday if there were restaurants around when I was a kid.

    A couple years ago my now 11-year-old asked me if crayons only came in black and white when I was a kid. Then, I went on a field trip with him to a museum and there was one of those really old bicycles with the huge front wheel and the itty bitty rear wheel...he asked if that was what my first bike looked like.

    :huh:

    I had been out of the Army for only a few months and I was on a job interview.
    Near the end of the interview, the Manager leaned across the desk, looked me right in the eye and, in a low voice, asked me if I had killed anyone.

    I didn't get the job.
