Okay, Grumpyites, the following quote was uttered to me by a drug rep about 5 minutes ago:
"So, Dr. Grumpy, you know, I came in because I'd like to know, you know, what you, like, know about our new product, and what your patients know about it, and, like, what you think about it, and all that stuff, like that, you know?"
totally.
ReplyDeleteyou know
ReplyDeleteWhoa, like I thought I was like bad! LOL
ReplyDeleteLet me guess....Rep had blonde hair.
ReplyDeleteObviously majored in English at Valley Girl University.

Another drug rep eating too many samples
ReplyDeleteUm...what?
ReplyDelete>:p
How did you, like, respond?
ReplyDeleteAnon 11:17: Correct.
ReplyDeleteHelen: I told her I had a patient waiting and ran away, you know.
Inverse correlation -
ReplyDeleteAmount of education of a drug rep vs. boob size
Direct correlation -
Hottness of a drug rep vs. likeliness MD will prescribe their drug just so they come back with more samples :)

AAAAAAHAAAAAAH! Like, you know, HIlarious with a capital HI and stuff.
ReplyDeleteIn defense on my reps, I like most of them.
ReplyDeleteMost of them are decent people, working hard to support their families, just like I work hard to support mine. They have their job and I have mine.
Unfortunately, just like with doctors, teachers, and clergymen, it only takes a few bad ones to give them all a horrible name.
Again...."Idiocracy" quote fits your associates to a T
ReplyDeleteDoctor: [laughs] Right, kick @ss. Well, don't want to sound like a d*ck or nothin', but, ah... it says on your chart that you're f*cked up. Ah, you talk like a f@g, and your sh*t's all retarded. What I'd do, is just like... like... you know, like, you know what I mean, like...
*sighs*....we might be doomed.

Tenth grade speech teacher--third assignment, can't remember her name, let's say, Miss Smith, like, Dieter, on his third speech, punctuating every sentence, with 'like', 'y'know', and 'c'mon'. Like, totally, we all sat there and yelled in unison every single time, 'Yes, Dieter, you're a good guy, and WE know'. Kinda broke him of the habit, y'know. Dieter was a good guy, local chess champ, and Miss Smith was a good speech teacher. Our school's debate team always won top prize in the state, like y'know. Guess they don't teach speech in the public schools anymore.
ReplyDeleteLike, did you totally gag her with a spoon? Radical!
ReplyDelete:D
like...totally, ya' know?
ReplyDeleteDid she or he just finish watching the 80's movie "Valley Girl"? Gag me with a spoon!
ReplyDeleteOMFG No way ROFLMBO
ReplyDelete"And then could you like tell me, cause they're gonna sorta like test me on it, you know?"
ReplyDeleteYou know, I totally like, believe that the younger generation is not going to have, you know, verbal or written skills thanks to, like, texting and all, you know.
ReplyDeleteOh, so it was Keanu Reeves dressed up as a drug rep for Halloween?
ReplyDeleteCompanies don't realize that they shoot themselves in the foot when they send out sales reps who were hired for their looks rather than their brains...

Proud to be a "Grumpyite"! Alternatively, I guess we could be 'Grumpy Groupies'!
ReplyDeleteWhatever. Buh-bye.
ReplyDeletethat just like made me dizzy. like omg. you know.
ReplyDeletemm
I am a pharma sales manager - sounds like the average rep of 2009 to me.
ReplyDeletenote to Flavius:
ReplyDeleteWhy must you assume that the drug rep was female? I see no indication of the drug rep's gender in the original post.
I have known males to sound like that as well.
Dr. Grumpy:
So how bad was the headache after the drug rep left? *wry*
So, like, did you know?
ReplyDeleteThank God for this post! I now know there is a career out there for my 15 year old son with the same speech impediments.
ReplyDeleteI know I use a few words over and over too -like "ya know" in particular; my son is notorious for inserting "Do you know what I mean?" or "Does that make any sense to you?" in his speech so much that his sisters and I rag him frequently about this habit. But out of curiosity, I'm wondering about the age of this rep as he/she sounds like the 17-year-old in the family who peppers every sentence quite liberally with the like, like, like thing and it, quite frankly drives me a bit bonkers, if you know what I mean, ya know. Does that make any sense? ARRZGH!
