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:

    I'm sorry this happened to you, chacha.

    The visitor was probably a surveyor from Joint Commission.

    And you know how they are.

    Now everything makes sense!

    Thanks, Daisy4RN!

    Man there are times I'm in my scrubs and I want to give people a piece of my mind for stuff like that. I bite my tongue. Street clothes? Game on :)

    Seriously?! It's a hospital not a carnival. People have no idea what our day was like. Like you said...It wasn't funny...or appropriate. Sorry you had a rough ending to an already rough day. The next promotion has your name on it! :)

    That was super rude of that person, disrespectful and harassing. What if you had tripped and fallen. It sounds like someone was showing off. Would they have done that to a male administrator or staff member? Bet not. 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. I hope the rest of your week is better!!!!!!!!

    Oh please don't keep doing that TruvyNurse.

    Otherwise you might become a mindless mute.

    I don't know about that Psych BSN RN...

    We need to find out if the fella had small hands and smelled like cabbage.

    Woah, riverlands!

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