Can’t Mail Past The Generation Gap
Medical Office | Working
| June 21, 2015
(I have called to make an appointment to begin physical therapy.)
Clerk: “What is your email address, so I can email you the forms to fill out for your first visit.”
Me: “It’s [email], but my printer is just about out of ink. How many forms are there?”
Clerk: “Um… about six?”
Me: “I don’t know if I can print that many before it runs out. Can you snail mail them to me?”
Clerk: “I don’t know how to do that.”
(There is a brief silence while I gape in astonishment.)
Me: “Uh… you don’t know how to fold up papers and put them in an envelope?”
Clerk: “No, I don’t know what the forms are.”
