MY boxes of tissues are slowly disappearing from my office. A student came in the other day and requested 3 boxes for the classroom. I said "sorry i don't have any"...to share that is! I order for my office only not the whole school. get your own stuff people !!
The phrase "I'm confused as to how this is my problem to deal with" comes to mind. I would be humiliated to be as cheap as that teacher who asked you for the handout. FFS be an adult and buy your own cheap q-tips for your cheap lipsticks on your own time.
"Well excuse me, but I don't believe it says Sephora above my door. Please, go check, so I can slam the door on your orifice on your way out for wasting my time."
That's ridiculous. Reminds me of *some* CNA's I've had who say 'You got a pen?'. I feel like saying "What am I, STAPLES?", and/or 'Oh, so you don't need to think about what you'll need at work, because someone else who's more prepared will have it for you?'. Arggggh.
I even had an intern who not only (speaking of not being prepared) borrowed a pen, but my stethoscope! And I practically had to chase her down before she left to get them back! Argggh #2.

Ha! When I worked at the hospital, it was the docs who always asked to "borrow" a pen and then I never saw it again.
That would have been an interesting conversation with a parent. If the parent would have reached out, which I highly doubt, you could just claim you don't condone the sharing of personal hair products due to the risk of spreading possible head lice lmao .
No, just no. I'm pretty tough with my staff when they try to act like this. I'm very kind when they are sick, but when they try to pull their alpha crap-NO! Prior to becoming a nurse I was a teacher, so I am used to the creature called the alpha teacher. Most of the time they don't mean in harm, they are in their zone trying to do 5 million things, but the clinic is not for them. Do we go in their classroom and ask for their stuff that is for the students? Sometimes they need friendly reminders. I have many colleagues at my campus that I am friendly, but I have a few that don't like me because I don't let them do the things they want to do. If it's medical I handle it, and I do not have a problem discussing an issue with someone. I do not believe in an emotional confrontation, just a professional discussion of the facts.
wow, really? I guess I am lucky. Only had my SLP come in and ask for tongue depressors as she was working with a kid with a tongue issue. she replaced them as soon as her supply came in..

Don't give them to staff either.
I had pull a cotton puff out of the ear of our secretary with the tweezers.
My swabs are cheap. Put them in your ear at your own risk.
