What is the silliest complaint someone has ever made aboutyou?

[SharonH, RN]

I don't know what made me remember this but I had a coworker once with whom I had developed(I thought) something of a rapport. Well one day we were in the nurses' station and I jokingly made a comment about her not working hard. I forget my exact words but it was something along the lines of are you hardly working or working hard. You know that lame joke, well not that lame but it was harmless like that. Well a few days later, guess what I got invited to a meeting with her and the charge nurse to discuss my attempt to slander her! She said that she felt like I had a low opinion of her as a nurse and my comments left it open for people to believe that she was not a hard worker. And I was attempting to destroy her reputation as a nurse. As broadsided as I was, I apologized profusely for my faux-pas but she wasn't in a forgiving mood. So *shrug* what could I do? Obviously we weren't as good of friends as I thought or she might have given me the benefit of the doubt. Also she must have had a massively low self-esteem or insecurities if she was that bothered by my little joke. I just moved on. I can remember being quite annoyed at first but it's funny now.

I was once called in to the NUM's office after night duty because "I hear from [an on-call dialysis nurse] that you made nachos overnight."

"Oh. Has one of the morning staff said there was something left undone?"

"No."

"Did one of the patients report being uncared for or waiting to have a buzzer answered?"

"No."

"Was there a mess left in the staff tea room?"

"No."

"Did the dialysis nurse say I didn't share them?"

"No."

"Is this a problem?"

Grudgingly, "I suppose not."

Yeah, she and I never got along!

I didn't run and fetch someone a bag of ice quickly enough.

Like, really? Seriously? I had to stop myself from rolling my eyes when I heard the complaint.

Note to self: next time someone asks for a bag of ice, it would be perfectly fine to leave my high fall risk pt alone because a bag of ice is, like top priority.

He was white too... so it wasn't even a racist thing...I'm still not sure what his point was.

I got "fired" by a patient for not reheating his Dominos pizza in a timely fashion - and for questioning said pizza as he was on a prudent diet. Silly me...
