My colleague, Dr. O, writes:
"I’m in the breakfast line at the hospital cafeteria, because today is
the one day of the week they offer the decent ham and cheese scramble.
But the line is being held up by this person who is leaning over the
sneeze guard, mask open, near the pre-made croissants (which thankfully
are wrapped). He’s complaining to the staff.
What COULD be the
problem? Did he find a hair in something? Was something raw? Was he
concerned that his sausage came from a Tyson plant??
Fuck no.
This guy was complaining that there was a typo on the menu.
And spent ten minutes pointing this out. Being a psychiatrist I was
terrified this was going to be a consult before I could have my morning Coke."
There's an old saying in academia: Bozo + PhD = GOD
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you can substitute MD for PhD
OCD much. Or could have been a copy editor in a past life.
ReplyDeleteIn our currant Bizarro World it is sad to think this guy has nothing else to complain about. Maybe OCD Stupidity is one symptom of COVID onset?
ReplyDeletePerhaps a trip to orthopedic surgery will calm him down.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know what to think. If Officer Cynical was around I'd request he deploy his Tazer and, well, problem solved.
ReplyDeleteAs reality sets in, why did the staff tolerate this loony-tune form more than ten seconds? So there's a typo, so what? You're holding everyone else up. Move along.
It should have been explained that the proper spelling should have been GFY, and henceforth it will always be GFY
ReplyDeleteYou should have your psychiatry colleague guest write more often. This entry was well-written and I bet they have tons of stories to tell!
ReplyDeletesadly, I want to know what the typo was...
