The Height Of Unreason, Part 2
(I am sitting in front of my computer trying to get on with work whilst my colleague is dealing with a patient. Another patient approaches the desk.)
Me: “Hi there! How can I help today?”
Patient: “You know, you really should grow taller. I could hardly see you over the desk.”
(I go on to sign the patient in, and continue with my work. 10 minutes later, the patient comes back to the desk.)
Patient: “You know, you’re still no taller; you really need to grow.”
(I take the patient’s money, and she leaves.)
Me: *to my colleague* “Did I just get told off for not growing any taller in the space of 10 minutes?”
Colleague: “Erm, yes, I think you did.”
