She Completely Deserved That
“I went to a supermarket and picked up a few items. As I was getting into my car, I noticed an older woman in her 40s who had just finished unloading her shopping cart into her trunk. To my surprise, she abandoned the cart right behind my car.
Concerned about the inconvenience and potential damage, I rolled down the window and politely asked her to please move the cart. However, instead of cooperating, she yelled back at me, asserting her right to leave the cart wherever she pleased.
Feeling frustrated and fed up with her attitude, I made a bold decision. I got out of my car and confronted her, stating that I could do the same thing. Without hesitation, I took that heavy metal shopping cart and turned it upside down, positioning it behind her own car. Satisfied with my actions, I got back into my car and drove away, observing her struggle to free her vehicle from the obstructing cart.
In that moment, I didn’t feel an ounce of guilt for standing up for myself.”
Imagine Listening To Your Patient’s Family
“My brother urgently called me to inform me that our dad was in the ER and his condition seemed critical. Without wasting a moment, I drove like a maniac, covering the 120-mile distance to reach the hospital. As I arrived at the ER, I found my brother and his wife sitting in the waiting room, completely unaware and deprived of any information or updates about our dad for over 2.5 hours.
Filled with worry and frustration, I approached the admitting desk to request an update on my dad’s condition. To my dismay, the staff told me to take a seat, claiming that the clerk was too occupied to assist me. Their response was unacceptable, so I disregarded their instruction and boldly marched into the actual ER room, determined to find my dad. My brother and sister-in-law followed suit.
Upon discovering my dad lying there, appearing pale and unattended, I was shocked. The attending doctor approached me, but instead of offering reassurance, he began shouting at me. Inquiring about my dad’s condition, I asked the doctor what was wrong, considering my dad’s history of heart problems and having a pacemaker. The doctor’s response was garbled with a heavy accent and poor English, making it difficult for both me and the nurses to understand him.
Overwhelmed by the situation, I lost control of my emotions and disregarded the potential consequences. I raised my voice and firmly told the doctor that my dad was pale, not green, implying his heart condition. I emphasized that my dad had undergone heart surgery at this very hospital just a year ago and demanded an immediate placement of a heart monitor on him.
With a smug attitude, the doctor challenged me, asking about my medical degree. Undeterred, I smiled and confidently replied that I didn’t possess a medical degree, but rather a law degree. I warned him that he would soon regret his time in the United States because I intended to sue him relentlessly, making deportation seem like an attractive option.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the doctor swiftly attached a heart monitor to my dad, revealing that he was indeed experiencing a heart attack. Thankfully, prompt treatment was administered, and my dad survived for many years thereafter.”
We’ve All Wanted To Do It
“When I was 17, my parents insisted that I take on a civil service job instead of continuing my education and going to university, which was what I had desired.
Unfortunately, the treatment I received at work was far from pleasant. They assigned me a small desk that was inadequate, burdened me with an overwhelming workload, and constantly yelled at me for failing to meet their unreasonable expectations. The job itself was complex, but they had neglected to provide proper training.
In the midst of being berated, I reached my breaking point. Unable to contain my frustration any longer, I abruptly stood up and tipped the desk over, causing papers to scatter everywhere. Through gritted teeth, I growled that I had had enough and refused to tolerate such mistreatment. Gathering my bag and coat, I stormed out in a fit of anger.
Upon arriving home, I recounted the ordeal to my father, hoping for understanding and support. While he expressed empathy, he also insisted that I return to work the following day, assuring me that things would change. I had my doubts but knew I had to follow his advice.
What I didn’t anticipate was that my father, being a union man himself (though in a different union), would utilize his connections. He reached out to his union executive, who in turn engaged with my union executive.
To my surprise, when I showed up for work the next day, a proper desk awaited me, positioned under a window. All the piled-up work had miraculously been completed, and I was informed that I had been booked for a training course in London. Astonishingly, they had the audacity to claim that these changes were not a result of my outburst. I couldn’t help but laugh. Later that evening, my father revealed that my actions had caused quite a stir, as they had violated numerous union rules.
Reflecting on the situation, I realized that this particular teenage temper tantrum was one I would never regret.”
That Came Back To Bite Her
“I rarely had the opportunity to do the ‘school run’ due to my work schedule, but whenever I did, I noticed that the other moms formed tight-knit groups, making it clear they had their own social circles. Despite my efforts to smile and engage in friendly conversations, I often felt like an outsider. On those rare occasions I did participate, I made sure to dress professionally, aware that I would receive scrutinizing looks from some of the moms.
During one instance, I was engaged in a conversation with one of the cliquey moms when she suddenly abandoned our discussion. Her gaze fixed on someone behind me, a member of the coveted ‘mum clique,’ and she swiftly walked away mid-conversation.
Several months later, I found myself interviewing her for a job. The moment she recognized me, a look of embarrassment washed over her face. seizing the opportunity, I decided to address the incident indirectly. I inquired, ‘So, would you describe yourself as rude or do you believe you possess strong interpersonal skills?’ It was clear she understood what I was alluding to, and she responded along the lines of, ‘Well, I admit I’ve done some rude things, but I always regret them.’ Curious, I prodded further, asking for an example. Her face flushed, and she stumbled, admitting, ‘Well, I can’t think of one right now, but I know I’ve been a bit rude at times.’ I smiled, replying, ‘Yes, I’m sure you have.’ Seizing the moment, I promptly sent an email informing her that she was unsuccessful in securing the position, ensuring it arrived in her inbox just moments after she exited my office.”
