What type of work do you do and what do you have to deal wit

I am an ultrasound technologist in an OB/GYN office. I love my job, but I am so sick of hearing "look at that big head!" or "can you check again (for the 5th time) and make sure it's a girl/boy". Most pregnant patients are awesome, but some are just plain pesty!!

OH YES>>>>>and the late night trip to the ER!
Lets call in the ultrasound tech...hmmmmm, can you tell me the sex...NOPE....not tonight! Why are you here?!!!!!:noway: :devil: :mad:

I'm an RN in a Level 2 trauma center No level 1 in the area). We get used as a clinic all the effing time!!!!! It is so annoying! It is infuriating knowing that the patient wont pay for this visit (because they cant afford it...) and that the staff will be paying for them getting knocked up for the 15th time... If you need us, please, by all means, come in and be seen. BUT please, see your primary doctor or a walk in clinic first!!! And why is it, when we are running our *kitten* off, people get demanding about getting pain meds or waiting to be discharged when the doctor literally has just walked out of the room?

I'm an Aerospace Engineer. My job (before maternity leave) was designing electrical routing in a large aircraft. During the developmental stages they designed the structure and we route the cables around it. Then they built the first aircraft (test aircraft) they loaded the wings with fuel and the fuselage deformed around the doors so that they couldn't open or shut when the aircraft was fully loaded with fuel. *slaps forehead* so they redesigned the structure around the doors so they wouldn't deform when the aircraft was fueled. We get a call "umm, your cables are routed through our structure, did you not check your work before you released the drawings" "yes and the released drawings were fine yesterday" So we check the digital mock-up, yup our wires are phasing through solid aluminum structure. Doh! No one ever told us they were changing the structure or why or when until after it was changed. Communication - not something industry does well.

This kind of thing is so beyond normal though. We want something, for free, yesterday. But we're not going to tell you what, that's your job to figure it out.

Guess. LOL And watch the news. You will see.

This. Except I get to wear plain clothes. The idiot parade is endless...

I work with people who have disabilities.

le me: "Oh, it's 3am and everyone is asleep".

client: *is a ninja, sneaks up behind staff (that's me) and goes "MRRRuuuhhhh ga!!!"

le me: *screams

client: *takes staff by the neck and tries to stick her in the refridgerator, maybe because wants a snack. maybe just to mess with staff.

Sounds like you have fun!!

lol. people are not too sharp

I'm a financial controller:

Them: make a budget
Me: our budget is $X
Them: you need to show growth of 50%
Me: redo budget
Them: why did you miss your numbers.
Me: &$*@#(&$_*@()!!!!

I work overnights in the dairy and frozen coolers at a superstore.

#1
Manager: We have 94 thousand pallets of dairy coming in tonight. Your coworker called out. IT NEEDS TO BE ALL STOCKED AND BINNED BY 7!
Me: FML.

#2 (THE WORST)
Customer: Oh, lalala, it's getting late, I think maybe I don't want these 34 items anymore. I'll just leave them here on this shelf even though half of them are frozen and there are some eggs and cheese. Whatevs!
Me, finding it two hours later: WTF?! WHY!?

i snotted on this one....haha

I am a receptionist/executive assistant (for now). I get to deal with the **** that trickles down from everywhere

Sales person: I need to book travel from X to Y to Z
Me: Okay, fill out the form and email it to me and your manager for approval
Sales person: I already got approval
Me: Awesome, I just need something for my records
Sales person: *emails form that despite being basic is missing crucial information*
Me: You left out your birth date, I need that to book flights. You also didn't say what city you need the hotel in.
Sales person: Oh, it's -
Me: No. It needs to be on the form.
Sales person: Why are you so mean to everyone?

Me: *answering phone* ________ this is Emily
Customer: Are you HP?
Me: ... No. We're ______
Customer: Do you do tech support?
Me: We do support for companies that have contracts with us.
Customer: Well I just have a quick issue with my desktop, can you help me with that?
Me: Our support costs start at $X per hour with a two hour minimum
Customer: What?! It's under warranty though!
Me: Then you need to contact HP directly.
Customer: So you guys don't work with HP?

*sigh* It's odd how many people expect free tech support - how do they think we stay in business?

Customer Service for one of the most magical places on early. I get to deal with you lovely Americans. Sometimes the accents make life difficult. I also get to do online moderation, which involves reading a lot of filthy cyber.
