'They folded quickly': Car dealership tells doctor she can't test drive a vehicle without her husband

This doctor was trying to buy a car , but she ran into an infuriating issue at the dealership. Buying a new car is a huge decision. You have to think about everything you'll be doing with your new vehicle, from taking the kids to soccer practice to loading up the truck with groceries and everything in between. Will you be filling your car with friends to go off-roading, or do you mainly just drive to the mall or the library? There are a lot of questions to ask yourself… but “Am I allowed to tes…

'I will update you every possible moment': Squadron of interns overload senior doctor with dozens of phone calls

'I will update you every possible moment': Squadron of interns bombard senior doctor with dozens of phone calls after he calls them 'lazy'

Interns in training decided to take this senior doctor at his word. Too bad it totally backfired on him. They say aging is difficult — your body aches for no reason, you fall asleep in random places, and all the young people are talking about things you don't care about. Depending on the field you work in, however, seniority can be a great perk. If you're a professor, the more years you teach, the better your job security. And if you're a doctor, that's the exact path many professionals take to…

'[He] doesn't fill out forms. He just throws those away': Epilepsy patient gets back at lazy doctor who refuses to do his job

We have this ideal that we hold that professionals will help us with our issues in a non-judgmental and unbiased manner—when that's often never the case. The reality is that these people are people, too, and have their own biases, flaws, and personality quirks that, on some level, prevent them from giving us the same type of care we'd receive if they were a blank slate. This means that, depending on who you are, what issue you might have, and what healthcare professional you're seeing, you migh…

Manager forces me to get a doctor's note despite it being illegal to do so. Doctor writes him the most passive aggressive note signing me off for 2 weeks instead of 2 days to teach him a lesson.

'He never believed anyone who called in sick': Supermarket employee enacts malicious compliance on boss who insisted he needed a doctor's note

A manager who makes exceptions only for his friends sounds like bad news. That's how u/kathjoy was treated by their boss Steve in a story shared to r/MaliciousCompliance. This OP shared that they worked at a supermarket and came down with a terrible flu. It makes no sense to go to work when you're ill. At best, you'll get five minutes of work done and spend the rest of the day drinking tea and trying not to fall asleep. At worst, you spread it to the rest of the office. By the next week, everyo…

'That's DOCTOR Karen': Entitled doctor tries to pull status card at pharmacy, pharmacist quickly humbles him

Listen, we get it, you're a doctor. That's a huge portion of your life dedicated to education and helping humanity. But like, also, don't be a jerk . Do they not teach that part in all that school? That maybe you should be humble? If you really think about it, you're making money off the lives of people's suffering, so like, take a seat, doc. We appreciate you, but again, don't be a jerk. Unfortunately, many doctors tend to get inflated egos and become extremely entitled. (Not all doctors, of c…

'I was able to approve 50+ cases before I quit': Insurance employee dismisses company guidelines, refuses to deny claims, then quits

Insurance companies do everything in their power to convince us to get on board with them, assuring us that they will be there for us, through thick and thin, in sickness and in health, till whatever do us part. When sickness does arrive though, they flee faster than a groom or bride who caught cold feet the night before their wedding. Gone with the wind and the dress, they're suddenly nowhere to be found. In other words, when they had said, ‘We will cover the cost’, what they really meant was,…
