In my facility we basically have trash bins on wheels. You put bags over a metal frame to keep the bag open, and you put your trash in there
I was just coming in for a night of work, so I went ahead and set up my trash bag. I had enough bags for my co-worker to and put the bags on her bin for her to set up. I pushed each pair of trash bins out into the hall and saw my Co worker
What happened next made me laugh
She took the bin I prepared for me. There was absolutely no way she thought that bin was for her to. I had it up against the wall and I was pushing her bin to her hall
Anyone else may have gotten mad or even said something but I actually found it funny. It doesn't make it a good thing, but I find it hilarious that I have never met someone so lazy they become that willing to take advantage of others people's work. I never met someone who thought they were so entitled to favors from other people they would assume someone did something for them. She is such a prime example of people like this I would find her in a sitcom.
I don't think this person is the best cna out there, but I dont like/dislike her as a person .I've never met her outside of work, but I'll forever remember this one time at work cus it was just so darn funny
Sorry about the typo

Unfortunately, you will find lazy people like that everywhere. It's really good you are able to get a laugh out of it. You have a tough job and sometimes a sense of humour will be the only thing that makes it doable.

Yep, laughing is sometimes the best answer.

No. It comes across as more passive aggressive than anything. Of all the labels I would place on it, positive wouldn't make the list.
I am glad you seem to realize that often times in this line of work you just have to let things roll off your back and keep on doing you. You can't control what other people do but you can control how you respond, and that is what matters, so good for you.
