Sometimes with my job I have the privilege of dealing with some really weird people. I see my share of diversity that is for sure. All sorts of backgrounds, all sorts of problems. It is kind of cool really. All at the pharmacy for one reason or another. Birth control, anti-depressants, insulin, antibiotics, pain relievers, you name it. On occasion I will have to deal with a real piece of work. Someone that is really complicated and demands a lot of work, someone that cannot be satisfied no matter what you do, others stink really bad or are really sketchy. Well today at work I was working up front and helping in the drop-off line. I was helping a lady and I was entering her insurance information into the computer when I hear a man say in a singy voice to the tune of the song, "call me maybe". I looked up and kind of chuckled thinking it was a funny dad joking around with his daughter but then when I look up I find a 40 something year old homely looking man all by himself with his earphones in. haha then I really start laughing. It gets better. So I finish helping the lady, take care of the prescriptions and then the man walks up to the counter while saying "alright it is the strange mans turn. i'm the strange man, call me maybe."He gives me the prescriptions and asks me to fill them. They were for his wife. I start taking down his information and entering them into the system when he starts mumbling. I am trying SO SO hard not to laugh so I bite my lower lip. I am writing some things down and not talking while out of nowhere (maybe cause he saw my CTR ring?) he says, "I'm not LDS. I'm not. I'm not a mormon. I don't know if you care, but I'm not." I kind of laugh a little and say no, I dont care. I continue to tell him that they will be done in twenty minutes and he can pay when he picks them up. He then says, "where do i pick up because I don't know what I'm doing, I don't ever get sick or ever have a cough. I never come to the pharmacy. But I do have IBS. I probably told you too much." WHOA.... too much info dude. ha ha so awkward. I walk away to go fill the prescriptions and he stays at the counter and continues to sing the phrase "call me maybe". We laughed about it the rest of the day. It was so funny. I guess you really had to be there. Well bedtime for me.
GO COUGS!
