He’ll Raise The Dead And Validate Your Parking
(A woman comes into my clinic with her six-year-old daughter and approaches the receptionist.)
Customer: “Hi. I need my daughter’s eyes fixed.”
Employee: “Sorry?”
Customer: “My daughter. She’s blind. I need you to fix it.”
Employee: “Oh, um… Is she totally blind? Can’t see a thing? How about light?”
Customer: “No, she’s completely blind.”
Employee: “I’m sorry, ma’am, but I don’t think we can help you. How long has she been this way?”
Customer: “Oh, all her life. She was born blind.”
Employee: “Why didn’t you look for help earlier?”
Customer: “DON’T TELL ME HOW TO RAISE MY CHILDREN, MISSY!”
(After listening in on the conversation, I decide to step in.)
Me: “Is there a problem here?”
Customer: *pulls her daughter’s arm* “Yes. My daughter is blind and you need to fix it.”
Me: “Ma’am, I’m sorry, but there’s really nothing we can do. We don’t treat things like that here.”
Customer: “NO! You call yourself an eye doctor?! You must be able to fix her, and you WILL!”
Me: “Like I said, I can’t do that.”
Customer: “Well, godd*** you all to h***! I’m going somewhere that will actually help us!”
Me: “Ask Jesus, I heard he was good at that.”
Customer: *storms out*
