Work Sucks, I Know...But It Sure Can Put on a Show!
We all talk about stuff that happens at work on Filter Error every day.  I have to thank Ashlie for letting us rant about rampant stupidity, funny stories, and disasters and ignoramuses.  But I want to know what your greatest work story of all-time is.  Comment below and let's hear it, tell us your most hilarious story that happened on the clock.  It can be something you were involved in or something you saw someone else do.  For example,

I once had a patient leave  note on her door that said "gone to see daughter on second floor.  If you need me, call my cell, I will be right back."  She left a number, and so I asked the secretary to call...went straight to her voicemail.  I then asked him to have the operator page her, and they did.  A nurse comes to the desk and says "I don't think she's going to hear that page, when I was walking back in from outside someone was wheeling her out in a wheelchair to go smoke a cigarette."  The pregnant daylight nurse didn't give a crap, and the oncoming night nurse was livid.  We called X-ray and they said "well she can explain this to Dr. (forgethisname)."  That's right, because transport is cancelling...bye!

That's not my best, but it's close.  Let's see what you got, most funnies wins a prize, but I don't know what it is yet.  Ready, set, GO!

I was setting down a mans plate, his wife was across the table from him. I dropped a butter and it landed on his, well yeah what you guys are all thinking.  And just because of instinct, I tried to grab it. (the butter that is) and grabbed his, yeah what you guys are all thinking. My eyes got bigger than my head, I turned 50 shades of red, I looked at his wife and said I am so sorry but I promise I didn't feel anything. She said yeah I know I never do either. 


They left me a good tip. smiley

 I am sure there are a ton, but working as a dispatcher people call in all the time for "odd" requests.  A Woman recently called in and said she just couldn't seem to "get it started".  When asked if she wanted light service she said any service would be fine.  When our driver showed up the woman came to the door, dropped her robe/towel holding a vibrator and asked if the driver could help her "get it started"...He claims he left...I am not so sure.

A while back..well quite awhile back I worked for a pop outfit, I won`t mention their name but it rhymed with Poca. sheesh maybe that was too easy! Anyways I had a wheeler load of pop I was delivering to a cafeteria kitchen. As I approached the kitchen there was a woman working with her back to me. I said to her " Where would you like me to put your cans?" Turning around she had a weird grin on her face and my face turned the colour of a Red Wings jersey. You see she had a huge set of cans!

 I just wanna listen to Blink 182 now.

My favorite thing from Publix was catching the shop lifters, (involved jumping over the service desk), letting the
stock guys jack em up against the wall a foot or two off the ground, waiting for the police. 

One time, a man asked if I could break a few hundred dollar bills for him.  (Obviously counterfeit).   I told him I had to make copies
of the bills before I could turn them into 20's.   I  called the manager and asked him to watch the desk while I warmed up the copy machine.  He kept the guy talking at the desk until the police got there (about 5 minutes).   Stoopid.

 I was training a new employee a couple summers ago.  We had a discharge going out the ER entrance.  So the patient calls her ride and says "we're on our way down now, we're in the elevator."  We get out the door of the ER and she tells me look for a big black truck.  I said I didn't see it.  She calls her ride again and says "here, talk to the transporter."

Me: "Hi, this is the transporter.  She handed the phone to me.
Ride: "Do you see me?  I'm in a big black truck."
Me: "No, I don't see a big black truck anywhere."
Ride: "I'm right next to the white delivery truck."
Me: "I don't see that either, I see a couple paramedics but no white delivery truck or your black truck."
Ride: "What do you mean?  I'm right here where it says WEST PENN EMERGENCY."
Me: "Umm, we're at SHADYSIDE!"
Ride: "Oh (expletive), alright, here I come!"

Ride when she arrives: "Next time you want a ride home you better tell me what hospital you're at!"

 I told the story of my former employee, who I call "50 First Dates" (because every day seemed like it was her FIRST DAY), on a F/E...but here it is again:

Mailman walks in  dressed in US Postal Service uniform and hands said employee the mail.  She says to him, "Can I have your last name please?"...he has a weird look and walks out....SHE THOUGHT HE WAS A PATIENT!!!  Best thing, though, was my son (who works for me)...he was laughing so hard he was crying.  THEN she said to him, "That new patient walked out".  My son replied, "That guy?  He's an a**hole....he walks in and out of here EVERY DAY"!  Needless to say, she's a FORMER EMPLOYEE.

Another one is from when I worked as an orderly in the summertime at the local hospital.  I worked the night shift, and some of the older patients would get confused.  One night, this older man walks out of the room without a stitch of clothes on and a dollar bill rolled up in his ear.  I said to him "Mr. Smith, you have no clothes on!  And why do you have a dollar bill rolled up in your ear?".  Mr. Smith replied..."Where ELSE would you like me to put it?

 Way back in the day, when I was first starting out, I worked in a nursing home. It was like my first or second day on the job and I was assigned to get a little old lady ready for a family visit. We had to get her teeth in! I applied the sea bond or whatever it was and proceeded to insert the denture into her mouth, several tries later I asked if these (the dentures I was holding) were hers or maybe they were her roommates? She said no, those are mine, so I kept trying to insert them into her mouth. After about 45  more mins of trying, I was getting very flustered, giving myself the "you can do it speech". I mean I wasn't going to let this denture thing break me.  Well, about an hour into the "denture mystery", the sweet, sweet lady, gently squeezed my arm and told me I was attempting to insert her bottom plate in her upper mouth. I was able to finish helping her get ready and never made that mistake again.
