It wasn't funny

After a long dayshift, finding out I didn't get the promotion (OK, but at least I tried) I was hoofing it through the lobby since the city bus was about to leave. I walked briskly and all of the sudden, a visitor with a big group of people with him jumps out at me and goes "Watch out for that dry spot!" I was startled and stopped suddenly, nearly causing a pile-up from other people walking out at 19:45. He laughed and laughed with his family, who also cracked up.

Seriously people?!? :no:

Within your rights to call security, why should they be allowed to harass staff members which is exactly what that was. I am glad I work in a jail, it has made me so not tolerant of stuff like that. Not that you don't know how to stick up for yourself, I have just noticed that in myself after working in jail where I used to be more submissive and non confrontational now when someone shows me personal disrespect....look out.

Woah, riverlands!

I bet the jail gives you time off during Joint Commission's survey!

Oh man sorry that happened to you! My favorite end-of-shift thing that people say when I am walking out is "SMILE". Why do people think it is okay to tell this to people?? If I want to have RNF (Resting Nurse Face), at the end of a 14 hour day, leave me alone!!

Congrats on having the bravery to stick yourself out there and try for a promotion! I feel like every interview is a chance to get better the next time!

Perhaps we need to send them a card?

Oh Davey, you bring so much joy to my life.

JC doesnt come to jail, oh darn. For Real Doe, I would sweetly call security and say there was a visitor playing tricks on staff members in the lobby and that I was concerned they were going to startle a little old lady and cause her to trip and fall :)
