Idk but if I ever get into this situation I'm just going to pull out a rag and give it to him and say "There. Now you can cover a part of your car. If you need a specific part of your car covered, I will need to know what part so I can get the correct part."
"I NEED A MAN. A WOMAN CAN"T UNDERSTAND STUFF LIKE THIS!!!" "No sir, you need a knowledgeable employee. What does gender have to do with it?" I've actually seen this happen when I was in a dealership buying a part. A woman asked if she could help a customer and he said, "Yeah, get me a man." She informed him that she was the manager and knew more than any of the employees. He kept insisting so she said, "If you won't allow us to help you, then you need to leave." He said he would stand there all day until a man came and helped him. She said, "Fine, have fun in jail for trespassing." She picked up the phone handset and said, "If you're still in the store in 5 seconds I start dialing." He spun on his heel and left muttering. It was one of the most glorious things I've ever seen.
I would have loved to see that. Yes, I am a man, but I don't think twice about getting help from a woman. She knows what she's talking about I'm going to listen. For example, my first motorcycle instructor was a woman. I'd never ridden before so I shut up and listened to what she had to say. Btw, I'm originally from the Australian bush and the women out there are just as tough as the blokes, if not tougher. So don't ever tell me women don't know what they're talking about or they can't help you.
Lol the funny thing is there are plenty of men, even working at parts stores, that know fuck all about cars...save for the basics. When I worked in a parts store, out of the 20 of us only about 4 or 5 knew enough about cars to be considered knowledgeable. And 90% of them were male. And I had female managers who could school some of the employees when it came to cars and parts.
I am 60 years old and work in accounting. If it were not for my younger co-workers helping me with technology, I would be lost. I have had younger mangers than me since I started there 15 years ago. They have my utmost respect and I acknowledge their authority. It really is not hard at all.
See, that's the problem. Karens think that they deserve to be worshipped as gods because they're old. Never mind the fact that there are people who are older than Karens, they just don't care. It's stupid, but believe me, it's real. This is how Karens think.
I love this!! Thank you for not looking down your nose at us younger people! It frustrates me so much when this happens and if we treat them back the way we are treated they demand respect because they are older..
I have pure hatred for blinker fluid... I'm trans.. early in transition I need some fuel additive and the guy behind the counter asked if I needed help finding the blinker fluid... It was an odd experience...
I worked with a woman in a hospital years ago who thought she knew better than anyone, especially those of us who had worked there for years. I got a little revenge one day though. I sent her to central supplies to get a new set of Fallopian tubes for a male patient. I didn't think she would do it, but she did. (men don't have Fallopian tubes they are part of the female reproductive system ). Central supply laughed at that for years. The know it all tried to get me in trouble but the supervisor was too busy laughing when the woman told her what I did. The woman quit the next day without notice and I was told to be nicer to her replacement.
I wouldn't be nicer. If a person it too incompetent to pick up a simple fact like that, they don't deserve mercy because they are too much a liability.
@@JaelinBezel Me too, although I've discovered that sometimes, hearing a word doesn't "register" the same as reading the word, so unless you think about it for a few minutes it doesn't occur to you what the word actually means. It's especially bad if the word isn't pronounced exactly as you imagined it being pronounced because you've never actually heard someone say it but only read it.
OP in the second story found the rare self banning a-hole. Customers who say they won't come back and actually don't come back are rare and precious. Cherish them.
Well, see, what I took from it was Debra thought she still had a job - just not with OP. That she'd be transferred or something. Kind of like the diva actress: I will not work with that director! And they get a new director.
If I'd been that manager, I'd have been tempted to respond to the "I'm not coming back" with "thank the Lord for small mercies." (And then quickly apologised to the Lord for taking his name in vain) :D
had one woman causing such a fuss she shouted out i am never coming back, owner (mum) said thank f**k for that next day she came back and mum had great fun calling her a liaring bas*** to her face and kicking her out
When I was 52 I applied for a job unloading the big trucks at UPS. (it was shortly after 9/11, the job market was pretty tough, long story) The interviewer noted that my supervisors would all be much younger, and asked it that was a problem. I told him, "the supervisor isn't my boss. The job is the boss, and the supervisor is just there to give me the tools and information to do my part." The interviewer said, "let me write that down." I spent the next 13 years there.
@@OmniscientWarrior Yeah, and it's a good line when you really need a job, and they toss you a question like that.. It's also a pretty good management tactic, if you believe people want to do a good job, which many do.
GOOD doctors take it as a compliment when they're mistaken for a nurse. (I'm a nurse and have worked with some great and amazing doctors who appreciate nurses 100%!!)
That first story is so indicative of the elderly Karen mindset. Age doesn't equate to experience, capability, or character. In fact, if you're the kind of person who thinks your calendar age entitles you to anything you're not fit to be given any power at all.
A doctor conferring with another doctor about a possible diagnosis? I don't think that's too sketchy. As an automotive technician, we confer with each other all the time to avoid overlooking potential issues and to sanity check our diagnoses. Everyone has different experience and specialty expertise, so a little collaboration can go a long way towards accuracy.
Yes, in my myriad interactions with the medical profession, that's one of the first things they do. "I'm Dr. So and so, your chart says..." Especially if they all are dressed similarly. And, as we know, some young MDs are (justifiably) proud of their titles, and want to make sure they get the respect.
I had a doctor my old GP. I told what was wrong with my shoulder. He looked at me as if a deer in a headlights. I told him it could be broken, dislocated and relocated improperly. He told me straight up if it was broken id be in massive pain and be in the hospital, same with a dislocation. I told him a 2nd time this happened yrs ago. At the time i didnt think nothing of it, until there is pain. He asked *me* what *he* should do about. I tild him the procedures of full motion assessment. (CPR, and my moms a nurses aid). He didn't even do all of that. And with a dead pan look on his face he told me about athletes getting stronger muscles and how their muscles are evolving. That what my shoulder is doing. I got up grabbed my stuff walked out into the waiting room. Told everyone waiting what he had just told me. Told them to look for a real doctor and not someone lv1 first aid trainee. Went to a physio therapist and get real answers.
@@MaryTheresa1986 yes, they did a full exam on me, and told me its my shoulder blade and all the muscles were weak due to the injury. ive been doing resistance exercise for the muscles.
@@Yroko I was operated at my stomach (nothing too serious) pretty much instantly when i wake up from the medication after the operation there was a doctor in my room and he said : You should not stand up directly after you woke up from your meds (like morphine and the gas/ injection they use to put you to sleep for the operation) i simply said, i'll lie back down if you clean my piss, he just looked the other way as i went to the toilet.
I worked at u-haul had a guy who told me matter of fact that because he was older I had to listen to him. I was the assistant manager and he was the part time employee I had been there 6 years he had 6 months and thought he knew everything. He didn't last for a year
Personally when ever I see a woman in what is traditionally a "man's" job. I get a boost of confidence that I am actually getting someone who knows WTF they are doing. They probable had to fight uphill just to get the position in the 1st place. Especially in the auto industry. And even though it is rarer I feel the same way about men in what is a traditional "women's" occupation.
Listen. Since pretty much everyone knows cars more than me, I don't care if a damn toddler is behind the counter... I'll trust them. Second, I'm 45. I'm a software engineer in biotech, who knows NOTHING about biology or what ACTG actually mean. There are a number of 20-somethings on my team who aren't nearly as good at programming as me, but actually know what those letters do. I will ALWAYS defer to them. Man, woman (which is a HUGE portion of the biotech industry, which is awesome), purple rhinoceros. I don't care. If you come into a place, and someone is behind a counter, odds are they know more than you if you can't name what you need exactly.
Yes. Both sexes can do any job. It's just that society tends to stereotype. And if a woman rises thru the ranks faster than her peers, then there is bound to be jealousy from her male counterparts.
So freaking true! Women so often have to work twice as hard & go thru many more hoops to achieve what many males do just by the minimum effort. & so often do so with no " 'tude" to go with it!
When one of my sons was a baby he had a heart murmur, at the hospital an old man with egg on his chin, beans down his shirt and messy hair came to tye bed and started talking to my son. I thought he was a tramp(bum) and said "i dont think you should be in here and talking to my son and if you dont go one of us will be arrested" he smiled and said "Hi i'm your son's surgeon" i nearly fell over and couldn't stop saying"sorry"
I had a real good friend of mine who was the type of guy you would find preaching in the parking lot of a store. Yeah one of those. We went to a church to see a new preacher. They introduced the preacher who happened to be a woman. My friend said "There is no way I am listening to a woman". He gets up and leaves (but I drove). I stayed and listened and she was great. After the service I asked "What is your problem with women preachers"? I then cut him off before he could respond and said "If God can open the mouth of a donkey and speak who are you not to listen to a woman", I then add, "I don't care if it is a man, woman, child or animal. If God talks through them I will listen. You know me I'm not afraid to throw it down, and I will throw you if you say one bad thing about her when you wouldn't even listen to her". He quickly shut up knowing full well I would have beat his ass right then and there. I have my flaws. Fighting a bully is definitely one.

I went to urgent care for allergies. A woman came in and said, "My name is Doctor Smith." I said, "What a coincidence, your parents named you Doctor and you became a doctor."
@@jimbobjones9330 "But may you..." I get invited to a few, mostly because many things like "birthdays" I don't care about because people should not feel obligated to throw a party or buy a gift. However, speaking proper prevents a lot of confusion and practicing doing so also aids with trying to figure out how to talk to someone; more so when English isn't their native language and they are not very proficient.
@@OmniscientWarrior English happens to be my second language, and I made friends overseas and have been talking with them for years now. Not once have I ever heard them say "may I". They've consistently used "can I". When I first saw someone use "may I" I got very confused. Not even in English class did this ever come up.
Wow the second story reminded me of something like this happening 10 years ago. We had just moved back to the states from being stationed overseas so I was in a Verizon store getting a new plan and phone and we all know how long that can take. An older man came in and was waiting. Then a lady who also worked at the Verizon store came from outside, guess from break or whatever and asked the man what she could do for him. He said something like no I'll wait so you can calm down... The store guy and I looked at each other like WTF? Calm down? She was not in a state of needing to calm.down... So a few minutes goes by and the lady asks again if she could help him and he said no. A few more minutes went by and he gets pissed because the man is busy with me and storms out the store. We all just looked at each other wondering wtf was his problem? I made some comments about him not liking women in these types of jobs...

I mean, what did that first woman think would happen if she refused to work for her manager... I mean, that could literally be interpreted as quitting, even if it weren't fire-able in itself...
Years and years ago when I worked at a supermarket, there were certain older ladies who had been with the store for donkey's years. Because of their seniority, and their 'seniority', they often felt they could refuse certain tasks, or make decisions that were above their pay grade. I remember ine time being told to come over to pharmacy and restock the K.Y. Jelly, because the lady in pharmacy refused to do it, because it was "disgusting". I didn't care, and found the whole situation funny, so I did it. Some managers even went along with it, encouraging this sort of behaviour. So when someone finally said no to them, they were in shock. In produce, they had an Israeli whom they promoted to department manager. This lady refused to work for him, since he was a foreigner. They told her to deal woth it or quit. She shut up, and asked for a transfer, and eventually got it.
Years ago I was looking for a new mechanic and stumbled upon a small shop. I booked my car in for a much-needed service and it was professionally done, and the prices were very good. It wasn't until about my third visit that I found out that Mark - the guy I'd dealt with - wasn't the one doing the work on my car. His business partner Leanne handled most of the day to day work while Mark focuses on custom stuff and classic cars, because Leanne knew modern vehicles better than Mark. Apparently they'd had some trouble getting started because of prejudice against a woman mechanic. I sent a lot of business their way over the years, and nobody ever complained about the quality of her work. Never assume that a woman either doesn't know or can't do the job she's in.
I had a similar story in the army. I was a young private guarding the gate when a car comes up with the brigade CO, who I have never met. I ask him for ID and said that "it is on the base". I told him that without ID, he can't come in unless another officer escorts him, which was the policy. He was shocked that I didn't know him, but he called another officer. He promptly came over and tried to chew me out for not allowing the CO to pass. The CO stopped him and promptly told me I did a great job, as I was following regulations.
When the company my husband worked for folded he was unemployed at 60. He finally got a job one step down from his previous one and he was asked if, given his experience and past position he would have a problem with a younger man being his immediate boss. My husband was genuinely shocked and simply said respect for one’s ability was about their work ethic not their age and it went both ways.

This happens in the military, too when young service members make rank faster than others. People don't like having a 21 year old E5 being their supervisor when they are older but are an E4 or below. Even worse when you a get new young commissioned officer over old salty chiefs.
Had a 28 year old jock type get demoted down to e3 from e5. I was 22, a total nerd, and ended up an e5 in charge of a team in Afghanistan. He ended up on my team. You can say we didn’t see eye to eye on a lot of things. He thought he knew it all. Got himself sent home 1/2 way through the deployment when they caught him with booze and drugs on him. He completely out of the army before we redeployed.
Yes, but sadly quite a few fresh from college butter bars wouldn't know a cat hole from a fox hole. There is a reason that you can't spell "lost" without "LT".
3 points of verification is good when you are dealing with medicine. Confirming symptoms yourself, seeing the inflammation, checking outside resources, used to be books now its google, and confir with a colleague, ask the nurse with years of experience. All to make sure he doesnt accidentaly kill someone. How nice
Am I the only one who thinks that the 'cover' Rick wanted was the hood or something that goes there like a air scoop or vent cos what other kind of cover over the engine do you need that you can drive and he does not sound savvy enough to have taken apart the engine itself.
My sister in law use to work for an ATV shop. A customer called wanting a part for their 3 wheeler. When she asked what kind of 3 wheeler he told her the “ red “ one... there are at least 30 or more “red” ones...different sizes from 110’s to 300’s...
My wife used to work at a bookstore. I'm reminded of this by the second story, where people would come in and ask for 'a book', full stop. "Do you know the title?" "No." "Do you know the author?" "Genre, anything?" "I remember the cover was blue." REAL f*cking helpful.
For some reason, I kept thinking that he was referring to the "Hood" of his car! "It's a COVER for the engine!" & "I can't drive the car without a Cover." Of course, if that is so, I find myself wondering HOW he lost the hood to his car?
Yes, it's a word. I remember learning that it was used on TV in the '70's by someone responding to an interviewer, and it went viral. But, as I just learned thanks to Google showing me a bunch of dictionary sites, it's first known use is from 1957.
I used to be a checkout supervisor & I got promoted into the role when I was 18. Thankfully there were only a few checkout operators who didn't like someone so young doing the job. The worst thing was that the other manager & supervisors had me do all the shitty shifts and would stand around chatting whilst I ran all day sorting problems. I left for another supermarket a year later, I was not going to put up with that treatment. The manager tried to get me to stay, saying she'd treat me the same as the others etc, but I knew that wouldn't last so declined.
It’s not sketchy if a doctor looks up symptoms or consults with another doctor. It’s actually a sign of a good doctor. They almost certainly are not just googling symptoms but rather using “up to date” which is a database for doctors to reference
I became an assistant manager/supervisor at a fast food restaurant when I was about 21, 22. I had more problems dealing with the teenagers than others older than me. But I remember overhearing my boss once asking a lady he was interviewing if she had any issues with working under someone who was younger than her. I had no problems with her but apparently another worker did, she didnt stay long
The woman parts assistant manager story... Many years ago - before working at UPS - I was a funeral director and embalmer. I focused my attention more on removals and embalming instead of directing funerals. One day, there was only two of us working. Myself and a female funeral director. An older couple walked in to make arrangements for their deceased son. They absolutely did not want to speak with the female funeral director and wanted a male instead. They called me because I was the one that picked up the son and was in the process of embalming him. I told them that they would have to talk to her because I do not work on that side of the business. They were raising absolute hell about having a female funeral director. I told them that if they did not want her, then I was sure the funeral home just down the street would be more than willing to help them out. They were so surprised at that comment and decided to let her take care of their funeral needs.
4:49 what did she think was gonna happen when she said she wasn't gonna be told what to do by someone younger that the younger woman would be replaced?
I had a boss that was younger than me for a little bit, first words out of my mouth were me jokingly saying “hey you’re young for “this position”, I’ll expect you to be pretty good at this then... oh I’m just joking. Glad to have ya aboard.” Decent way to break the ice, the dude was pretty chill though
I have a 1978 and 1977 Nova (used to also have a 76) and whenever we run into people oohing and ahing over one of the cars they always go straight to husband and its always fun watching him say he has no clue and to let him get his wife because "she knows more than I do". The looks he get are priceless.
Maybe. It could be an oil cap, though that is nickle, some people call it silver or white. Maybe he needed a white hood for his car. All we know is, there is no part of the engine called a cover.
As a career ER nurse the last story made me laugh. First, we all wear scrubs and stethoscopes, so it is easy to get us confused. It helps to remember that the cleaner is the one with the mop. That being said, the nurses are all experienced at least as much as the interns and residents so you will get a faster and usually more accurate diagnosis from one of us. Have a little confidence in experience over qualifications, please.
"I don't want to be diagnosed by a nurse" Many nurses have more hospital experience than doctors the same age because they don't spend as long studying.
as a medical student when i go to hospitals i learn more from nurses than from doctors because doctors think and connect while nurses apply and maintain
The car thing ,with the customer not knowing what they wanted but expected you to read their mind, would happen to me ALL THE TIME at a candy store I worked at. Some couldn’t even describe the flavor of if it had chocolate or not, they’d just say “it’s an old candy form Amy child hood “ over and over
God, a few years ago I worked at an ice cream shop for a few months before starting college, and I was promoted pretty quickly to shift manager because I was always early and very meticulous. One of my scoopers/till workers was a 50+ year old man, and it was always somewhat awkward being an 18 year old kid in charge of him.
With the Dr. And the symptoms. Most likely its them inputting your symptoms and notes to notate your chart. Especially if they're having computer problems.
That last one... I've had so many appointments where the nurses do the lion's share of the work I might have made the same mistake. Generally, I don't even ask because a Nurse practitioner can write prescriptions too.
My partner is 26 and is the manager of the shop he works at, only second to the owner. Surprisingly he doesn't have issues from the guys older than him, his biggest issues are from the young 20s guys that feel he shouldn't be their superior as he is "basically their age". The older guys normally just tell them to pull their head in when they start with their comments
I had a girlfriend that was the service writer at a small auto shop and she rebuilt the motor for one of my work truck. That truck ran better then any other truck on the lot.
As someone who became a supervisor in my early 20s, I know what you go through. Just keep doing your job and while getting further promoted, they (may) start noticing your worth (please don't quote me or hold your breath on this one).Now, much older, and retired early, I have no regrets to working hard, learning the business, and getting paid better.
"I need a cover for something in my engine! only a man will be able to understand what it is, unfortuonatly i ain't enough of a man to know what kind of cover it is!"
I feel you, I'm in my late 20s and a plumbing/mechanical foreman. Been with the same company for 10+ years so I know all my coworkers pretty well, it's the other trades that I always end up arguing with.
For the doctor checking their phone in the third story. If it’s for a walk-in or urgent care clinics the doctors are usually looking up the codes for the diagnosis for insurance purposes. Since sometimes you pay upfront and then file for reimbursement later or your insurance covers the costs depending on the clinic insurance policies. They either have to look in a thick book for the codes or just google it which is faster.
Actually, something like IBM's Watson could do better than a human being. However, it has the strange affectation of phrasing every response as a question.
I just found out that in my country (in Europe) there has been a law annulled which was called something like the law of being incapable to act, in 1956. This law was denying married women's rights to do anything like using money, being allowed to travel or opening a bank account. Just over 60 years ago!!!!
This happens all the time in the tech industry, you have a 24 year old senior developer interviewing a 40 year old. It's awkward but comes with the industry. You are expendable if your don't keep up with the technology.
i grew up around medical professionals. oftentimes medical professionals do in fact google symptoms since there's a lot of illnesses and nuances to keep track of. the difference between a normal person and a medical professional is that medical professionals actually know how to distinguish symptoms better than we do since they have way more experience than we do. they also ask other doctors for second opinions regularly to make sure that they aren't overlooking anything. i hope this helps
14:50 - "I thought he was googling my symptoms, and then he went to go ask a colleague." Me - "Doctors will google symptoms to see what sicknesses come up. If multiple come up, they'll go over it with other doctors to try and match the diagnosis. So yes it's normal, and no, it's not sketchy.
Not introducing yourself when you walk in is a huge faux pa in medicine. We are taught to do that from the first day we practice patient interactions in First year of medical school. "Hello, I'm doctor so and so" is always your first sentence.
He could have been looking for a battery terminal cover, or the entire engine casing, the washer fluid cover, transmission fluid cover, oil cover, fracking wheel well cover, interior hood cover, wiring casing- hahaha! Pretty much everything in an engine has some kind of "cover". 🤣🤣🤣
Many hospitals today have things that appear to be phones, but it is just a hand held computer where they take notes or probably can type in certain symptoms.
Working in retail and making my way up to full time management at only 24 I had several cashiers (part time) that were almost twice my age that definitely didn't show the respect even though I was respectful to them.
As someone who has worked in hospitals for years including the walk-in, OR and ER, its very common for doctors to literally google or WebMD your symptoms and then google which meds are most commonly prescribed for that diagnosis and give it to you. They really dont know much more than anyone else, they just have the power to write a prescription. I dont go to the doctor unless its an emergency and i diagnose myself before i get there and have all the facts and meds recommendation before i go so its goes faster when i just tell them what i have and what i need.
One thing older people know better. What happened back when. Back in the late 60's, people combined the words fantastic and fabulous to make the word fantabulous. It is late 60's jargon.
there are two types of seniority. Seniority based on age is meaningless unless you are children. Seniority based on time spent working at a place has worth.
I am a 58 years young female. I don't count age against a person. I have followed orders from people younger than me many times. You are doing a fine job with your videos and I would be proud to have you as my boss if you were.
I work in a call centre as a manager and am one of the younger staff members, there have been times when customers and other consultants have not taken me seriously because of my age
Whenever I need dealer specific parts for my vehicle, I always ask for "Kathy"! She's not real young, however, she does know that parts department inside and out....
When the doctors are “typing your symptoms into their phones” they’re usually just inputting diagnosis codes and prescription orders into the hospital’s online system. At least that’s what has been the case in my experience.
My mom is one of those do it yourself people when it comes to car maintenance (she would take it in if there was a major issue, but for minor ones she would do it herself). Every time she would go to the parts store or auto shop to get something for her car, the people working would ask her "did your dad or brother had send you down here for something?". She had this one friend who was the manager of the shop who would often times come out and tell his employees "boys I'm pretty sure this young lady knows more about cars than you and I put together, so shut up and get her what she needs". It always put a smile on her face, and showed that not all of the older generation are idiots.
Where I live, there's a type of nurse that CAN prescribe AND actually do some doctor's duties. These particular nurses are called nurse practitioners. I see the nurse practitioner more often than my GP doctor as she is also an OB/GYN and can be called away any minute.
I don't have a problem following orders from someone younger, but they better know what they are talking about. When it comes to parts, you can never over explain yourself.
The world has changed, that back in the days where the bosses were older than you, but now days that's not true. I learned to respect my bosses no mater how old he/she is.
i also wanna point out that, if you have strep, you dont get meds to help get rid of strep, you only get meds to lessen the complications of it. you just have to ride it out.
On the docs pulling out their phones...they were probably looking it up online. I had an obgyn look up my symptoms on webmd - right in front of me. It just felt so frustrating and made me extremely concerned.
Yes, be concerned that the doctor may be verifying their hypothesis and error checking themselves. Because humans are infallible and remember all the things once they get a degree.
They weren't necessarily just googling. There are reference tools (encyclopedias, if you like) for doctors. My doctor years ago had one (he was so proud of his new toy, he just had to show me!😁) No doctor, no matter how good they are, can be expected to know everything, or keep up with the latest research. Not knowing what the posters was looking up i can't say, but it doesn't mean they're incompetent. Though they probably shouldn't do it front of the patient.
So there's actually a really cool bit of software Drs. can use on their phone that cross references all your symptoms and kicks out probabilities of diagnosis. It's often used to confirm thier diagnosis and check for anything that they may need to rule out another possibly critical condition before sending you home.
I've had mixed results when being the acting line lead at my job. I'm 26, and one of the youngest on my line. Some of the older new hires are nonplussed with having someone so young as their superior. It's quite amusing when they go to my much older coworkers for help, and they just get sent to me.

Anybody have any idea what that "COVER" the guy in the second story was asking for is???
I guess that he was looking for an engine oil cap.
Think he needed a brain
Maybe a valve cover if he couldn't drive without it?
Idk but if I ever get into this situation I'm just going to pull out a rag and give it to him and say "There. Now you can cover a part of your car. If you need a specific part of your car covered, I will need to know what part so I can get the correct part."
Yeah I liked imagining that he needed a hood for his car 😂
"I NEED A MAN. A WOMAN CAN"T UNDERSTAND STUFF LIKE THIS!!!" "No sir, you need a knowledgeable employee. What does gender have to do with it?"
I've actually seen this happen when I was in a dealership buying a part. A woman asked if she could help a customer and he said, "Yeah, get me a man." She informed him that she was the manager and knew more than any of the employees. He kept insisting so she said, "If you won't allow us to help you, then you need to leave." He said he would stand there all day until a man came and helped him. She said, "Fine, have fun in jail for trespassing." She picked up the phone handset and said, "If you're still in the store in 5 seconds I start dialing." He spun on his heel and left muttering. It was one of the most glorious things I've ever seen.
We need more people like that
so many stupid people in this world
I would have loved to see that. Yes, I am a man, but I don't think twice about getting help from a woman. She knows what she's talking about I'm going to listen. For example, my first motorcycle instructor was a woman. I'd never ridden before so I shut up and listened to what she had to say. Btw, I'm originally from the Australian bush and the women out there are just as tough as the blokes, if not tougher. So don't ever tell me women don't know what they're talking about or they can't help you.
Lol the funny thing is there are plenty of men, even working at parts stores, that know fuck all about cars...save for the basics.
When I worked in a parts store, out of the 20 of us only about 4 or 5 knew enough about cars to be considered knowledgeable. And 90% of them were male. And I had female managers who could school some of the employees when it came to cars and parts.
Good for her!
I am 60 years old and work in accounting. If it were not for my younger co-workers helping me with technology, I would be lost. I have had younger mangers than me since I started there 15 years ago. They have my utmost respect and I acknowledge their authority. It really is not hard at all.
See, that's the problem. Karens think that they deserve to be worshipped as gods because they're old. Never mind the fact that there are people who are older than Karens, they just don't care. It's stupid, but believe me, it's real. This is how Karens think.
I love this!! Thank you for not looking down your nose at us younger people! It frustrates me so much when this happens and if we treat them back the way we are treated they demand respect because they are older..
Rick was looking for the cover for the blinker fluid tank. It goes right beside the muffler bearings.
maybe he looked for the whole hood
a manhole cover
I thought that was over by the winter air for the tires
I have pure hatred for blinker fluid... I'm trans.. early in transition I need some fuel additive and the guy behind the counter asked if I needed help finding the blinker fluid... It was an odd experience...
😅😅😅
I worked with a woman in a hospital years ago who thought she knew better than anyone, especially those of us who had worked there for years. I got a little revenge one day though. I sent her to central supplies to get a new set of Fallopian tubes for a male patient. I didn't think she would do it, but she did. (men don't have Fallopian tubes they are part of the female reproductive system ). Central supply laughed at that for years. The know it all tried to get me in trouble but the supervisor was too busy laughing when the woman told her what I did. The woman quit the next day without notice and I was told to be nicer to her replacement.
I wouldn't be nicer. If a person it too incompetent to pick up a simple fact like that, they don't deserve mercy because they are too much a liability.
She... literally did not know that term? Thank God she left before she caused a disaster with gross incompetence!
That’s like being told to go get blinker fluid. I’m not even part of anything even remotely medical related and I know what fallopian tubes are!
LOL LOL LOL
@@JaelinBezel Me too, although I've discovered that sometimes, hearing a word doesn't "register" the same as reading the word, so unless you think about it for a few minutes it doesn't occur to you what the word actually means. It's especially bad if the word isn't pronounced exactly as you imagined it being pronounced because you've never actually heard someone say it but only read it.
OP in the second story found the rare self banning a-hole. Customers who say they won't come back and actually don't come back are rare and precious. Cherish them.
Well, see, what I took from it was Debra thought she still had a job - just not with OP. That she'd be transferred or something. Kind of like the diva actress: I will not work with that director! And they get a new director.
Or at least cherish their absence.
If I'd been that manager, I'd have been tempted to respond to the "I'm not coming back" with "thank the Lord for small mercies." (And then quickly apologised to the Lord for taking his name in vain) :D
had one woman causing such a fuss she shouted out i am never coming back, owner (mum) said thank f**k for that
next day she came back and mum had great fun calling her a liaring bas*** to her face and kicking her out
When I was 52 I applied for a job unloading the big trucks at UPS. (it was shortly after 9/11, the job market was pretty tough, long story) The interviewer noted that my supervisors would all be much younger, and asked it that was a problem. I told him, "the supervisor isn't my boss. The job is the boss, and the supervisor is just there to give me the tools and information to do my part." The interviewer said, "let me write that down." I spent the next 13 years there.
That is kinda correct.
@@OmniscientWarrior Yeah, and it's a good line when you really need a job, and they toss you a question like that.. It's also a pretty good management tactic, if you believe people want to do a good job, which many do.

GOOD doctors take it as a compliment when they're mistaken for a nurse. (I'm a nurse and have worked with some great and amazing doctors who appreciate nurses 100%!!)
thank you for your work nurse Rachael
the backbone of every hospital✊🏼
As a EN, I agree with you 100%!!!!
Exactly. We aren’t second class healthcare workers!
That first story is so indicative of the elderly Karen mindset.
Age doesn't equate to experience, capability, or character. In fact, if you're the kind of person who thinks your calendar age entitles you to anything you're not fit to be given any power at all.
A doctor conferring with another doctor about a possible diagnosis? I don't think that's too sketchy. As an automotive technician, we confer with each other all the time to avoid overlooking potential issues and to sanity check our diagnoses. Everyone has different experience and specialty expertise, so a little collaboration can go a long way towards accuracy.
A wild Waffle appeared!
What's up bud!?
exactly
In fairness to OP, the doctor shouldve introduced himself.
Yes, in my myriad interactions with the medical profession, that's one of the first things they do. "I'm Dr. So and so, your chart says..." Especially if they all are dressed similarly. And, as we know, some young MDs are (justifiably) proud of their titles, and want to make sure they get the respect.
I had a doctor my old GP. I told what was wrong with my shoulder. He looked at me as if a deer in a headlights. I told him it could be broken, dislocated and relocated improperly. He told me straight up if it was broken id be in massive pain and be in the hospital, same with a dislocation. I told him a 2nd time this happened yrs ago. At the time i didnt think nothing of it, until there is pain. He asked *me* what *he* should do about. I tild him the procedures of full motion assessment. (CPR, and my moms a nurses aid). He didn't even do all of that. And with a dead pan look on his face he told me about athletes getting stronger muscles and how their muscles are evolving. That what my shoulder is doing. I got up grabbed my stuff walked out into the waiting room. Told everyone waiting what he had just told me. Told them to look for a real doctor and not someone lv1 first aid trainee. Went to a physio therapist and get real answers.
@@Yroko How did it go with the new doctor? Did you get everything sorted out?
@@MaryTheresa1986 yes, they did a full exam on me, and told me its my shoulder blade and all the muscles were weak due to the injury. ive been doing resistance exercise for the muscles.
@@Yroko I was operated at my stomach (nothing too serious) pretty much instantly when i wake up from the medication after the operation there was a doctor in my room and he said : You should not stand up directly after you woke up from your meds (like morphine and the gas/ injection they use to put you to sleep for the operation) i simply said, i'll lie back down if you clean my piss, he just looked the other way as i went to the toilet.
I worked at u-haul had a guy who told me matter of fact that because he was older I had to listen to him. I was the assistant manager and he was the part time employee I had been there 6 years he had 6 months and thought he knew everything. He didn't last for a year
Not suprised.
Personally when ever I see a woman in what is traditionally a "man's" job. I get a boost of confidence that I am actually getting someone who knows WTF they are doing. They probable had to fight uphill just to get the position in the 1st place. Especially in the auto industry. And even though it is rarer I feel the same way about men in what is a traditional "women's" occupation.
Listen. Since pretty much everyone knows cars more than me, I don't care if a damn toddler is behind the counter... I'll trust them.
Second, I'm 45. I'm a software engineer in biotech, who knows NOTHING about biology or what ACTG actually mean. There are a number of 20-somethings on my team who aren't nearly as good at programming as me, but actually know what those letters do. I will ALWAYS defer to them. Man, woman (which is a HUGE portion of the biotech industry, which is awesome), purple rhinoceros. I don't care.
If you come into a place, and someone is behind a counter, odds are they know more than you if you can't name what you need exactly.
I work in the Air Force and let me tell you, if you carry the "Women can't do Men's work" attitude, you're not gonna make it Basic Training..
Yes. Both sexes can do any job. It's just that society tends to stereotype. And if a woman rises thru the ranks faster than her peers, then there is bound to be jealousy from her male counterparts.
So freaking true! Women so often have to work twice as hard & go thru many more hoops to achieve what many males do just by the minimum effort. & so often do so with no " 'tude" to go with it!
Then sometimes they get accused with sleeping with the higher ups (from what I've heard)
When one of my sons was a baby he had a heart murmur, at the hospital an old man with egg on his chin, beans down his shirt and messy hair came to tye bed and started talking to my son. I thought he was a tramp(bum) and said "i dont think you should be in here and talking to my son and if you dont go one of us will be arrested" he smiled and said "Hi i'm your son's surgeon" i nearly fell over and couldn't stop saying"sorry"
he probably was on a long ass shift or something
Looks like the old man's living in the hospital half of the week.
Had a surgeon that was replacing my defibrillator, had the worst breath I've ever encountered! Was so glad I would be out for the surgery!!!
I had a real good friend of mine who was the type of guy you would find preaching in the parking lot of a store. Yeah one of those. We went to a church to see a new preacher. They introduced the preacher who happened to be a woman. My friend said "There is no way I am listening to a woman". He gets up and leaves (but I drove). I stayed and listened and she was great. After the service I asked "What is your problem with women preachers"? I then cut him off before he could respond and said "If God can open the mouth of a donkey and speak who are you not to listen to a woman", I then add, "I don't care if it is a man, woman, child or animal. If God talks through them I will listen. You know me I'm not afraid to throw it down, and I will throw you if you say one bad thing about her when you wouldn't even listen to her". He quickly shut up knowing full well I would have beat his ass right then and there. I have my flaws. Fighting a bully is definitely one.
Fighting a bully is not a flaw in my book.

That’s scary to think of someone working on their own car when they don’t know what parts they’re working on, and then driving that car into traffic.
I went to urgent care for allergies. A woman came in and said, "My name is Doctor Smith." I said, "What a coincidence, your parents named you Doctor and you became a doctor."
I would do that as well. When people say "my name" as if it is interchangeable with "I am" I proceed to act as what they said is their name proper.
@@OmniscientWarrior And that's why nobody invites you to parties. ;-)
"Can I get you anything?"
"I'm sure you can. But you MAY..."
@@jimbobjones9330 "But may you..."
I get invited to a few, mostly because many things like "birthdays" I don't care about because people should not feel obligated to throw a party or buy a gift. However, speaking proper prevents a lot of confusion and practicing doing so also aids with trying to figure out how to talk to someone; more so when English isn't their native language and they are not very proficient.
@@OmniscientWarrior English happens to be my second language, and I made friends overseas and have been talking with them for years now. Not once have I ever heard them say "may I". They've consistently used "can I". When I first saw someone use "may I" I got very confused. Not even in English class did this ever come up.
@@OmniscientWarrior Speaking properly*
Sorry, I had to do that to that particular comment.
Wow the second story reminded me of something like this happening 10 years ago. We had just moved back to the states from being stationed overseas so I was in a Verizon store getting a new plan and phone and we all know how long that can take.
An older man came in and was waiting. Then a lady who also worked at the Verizon store came from outside, guess from break or whatever and asked the man what she could do for him. He said something like no I'll wait so you can calm down... The store guy and I looked at each other like WTF? Calm down? She was not in a state of needing to calm.down... So a few minutes goes by and the lady asks again if she could help him and he said no. A few more minutes went by and he gets pissed because the man is busy with me and storms out the store. We all just looked at each other wondering wtf was his problem? I made some comments about him not liking women in these types of jobs...

I mean, what did that first woman think would happen if she refused to work for her manager... I mean, that could literally be interpreted as quitting, even if it weren't fire-able in itself...
I’m guessing she somehow thought OP would be fired? Or she would be moved to a different department?
Years and years ago when I worked at a supermarket, there were certain older ladies who had been with the store for donkey's years. Because of their seniority, and their 'seniority', they often felt they could refuse certain tasks, or make decisions that were above their pay grade. I remember ine time being told to come over to pharmacy and restock the K.Y. Jelly, because the lady in pharmacy refused to do it, because it was "disgusting". I didn't care, and found the whole situation funny, so I did it.
Some managers even went along with it, encouraging this sort of behaviour. So when someone finally said no to them, they were in shock. In produce, they had an Israeli whom they promoted to department manager. This lady refused to work for him, since he was a foreigner. They told her to deal woth it or quit. She shut up, and asked for a transfer, and eventually got it.
They're discriminating against someone for their age, I think it's illegal in most places
Oh and discrimination based on sex yaaaay also illegal
Years ago I was looking for a new mechanic and stumbled upon a small shop. I booked my car in for a much-needed service and it was professionally done, and the prices were very good. It wasn't until about my third visit that I found out that Mark - the guy I'd dealt with - wasn't the one doing the work on my car. His business partner Leanne handled most of the day to day work while Mark focuses on custom stuff and classic cars, because Leanne knew modern vehicles better than Mark. Apparently they'd had some trouble getting started because of prejudice against a woman mechanic. I sent a lot of business their way over the years, and nobody ever complained about the quality of her work. Never assume that a woman either doesn't know or can't do the job she's in.
I had a similar story in the army. I was a young private guarding the gate when a car comes up with the brigade CO, who I have never met. I ask him for ID and said that "it is on the base". I told him that without ID, he can't come in unless another officer escorts him, which was the policy. He was shocked that I didn't know him, but he called another officer. He promptly came over and tried to chew me out for not allowing the CO to pass. The CO stopped him and promptly told me I did a great job, as I was following regulations.
When the company my husband worked for folded he was unemployed at 60. He finally got a job one step down from his previous one and he was asked if, given his experience and past position he would have a problem with a younger man being his immediate boss. My husband was genuinely shocked and simply said respect for one’s ability was about their work ethic not their age and it went both ways.

This happens in the military, too when young service members make rank faster than others. People don't like having a 21 year old E5 being their supervisor when they are older but are an E4 or below. Even worse when you a get new young commissioned officer over old salty chiefs.
Had a 28 year old jock type get demoted down to e3 from e5. I was 22, a total nerd, and ended up an e5 in charge of a team in Afghanistan. He ended up on my team. You can say we didn’t see eye to eye on a lot of things. He thought he knew it all. Got himself sent home 1/2 way through the deployment when they caught him with booze and drugs on him. He completely out of the army before we redeployed.
Yes, but sadly quite a few fresh from college butter bars wouldn't know a cat hole from a fox hole. There is a reason that you can't spell "lost" without "LT".
3 points of verification is good when you are dealing with medicine. Confirming symptoms yourself, seeing the inflammation, checking outside resources, used to be books now its google, and confir with a colleague, ask the nurse with years of experience. All to make sure he doesnt accidentaly kill someone. How nice
Hello my wonderful friend. I'm back for some stories.
Bruce sounds like Red Forman from That 70’s Show
Yes!
Sometimes, you gotta be Red. Sometimes you gotta be Kitty. Sometimes, you gotta be Deadpool.
Junior Doctors often speak to seniors before giving a diagnosis as they are not fully trained yet
Am I the only one who thinks that the 'cover' Rick wanted was the hood or something that goes there like a air scoop or vent cos what other kind of cover over the engine do you need that you can drive and he does not sound savvy enough to have taken apart the engine itself.
My sister in law use to work for an ATV shop. A customer called wanting a part for their 3 wheeler. When she asked what kind of 3 wheeler he told her the “ red “ one... there are at least 30 or more “red” ones...different sizes from 110’s to 300’s...
My wife used to work at a bookstore. I'm reminded of this by the second story, where people would come in and ask for 'a book', full stop. "Do you know the title?" "No." "Do you know the author?" "Genre, anything?" "I remember the cover was blue." REAL f*cking helpful.
When Debra threatened to call security, OP should have just said 'go for it'.
If I were Bruce from the autoparts story, for SURE the first thing out of my mouth when they asked me what I needed was "I need a cover."
For some reason, I kept thinking that he was referring to the "Hood" of his car!
"It's a COVER for the engine!" & "I can't drive the car without a Cover."
Of course, if that is so, I find myself wondering HOW he lost the hood to his car?
Yes, it's a word. I remember learning that it was used on TV in the '70's by someone responding to an interviewer, and it went viral. But, as I just learned thanks to Google showing me a bunch of dictionary sites, it's first known use is from 1957.
He must have been talking about the blinker fluid cover...
Or maybe the 710 cap
I used to be a checkout supervisor & I got promoted into the role when I was 18. Thankfully there were only a few checkout operators who didn't like someone so young doing the job. The worst thing was that the other manager & supervisors had me do all the shitty shifts and would stand around chatting whilst I ran all day sorting problems. I left for another supermarket a year later, I was not going to put up with that treatment. The manager tried to get me to stay, saying she'd treat me the same as the others etc, but I knew that wouldn't last so declined.
It’s not sketchy if a doctor looks up symptoms or consults with another doctor. It’s actually a sign of a good doctor. They almost certainly are not just googling symptoms but rather using “up to date” which is a database for doctors to reference
I totally get the last guy getting confused, very important for nurses and drs to introduce themselves properly 😊
I became an assistant manager/supervisor at a fast food restaurant when I was about 21, 22. I had more problems dealing with the teenagers than others older than me. But I remember overhearing my boss once asking a lady he was interviewing if she had any issues with working under someone who was younger than her. I had no problems with her but apparently another worker did, she didnt stay long
Is it just me, the coffee or has darkfluff become more comfortable with their fanbase and internet identity so shows more of their personality?
The woman parts assistant manager story... Many years ago - before working at UPS - I was a funeral director and embalmer. I focused my attention more on removals and embalming instead of directing funerals. One day, there was only two of us working. Myself and a female funeral director. An older couple walked in to make arrangements for their deceased son. They absolutely did not want to speak with the female funeral director and wanted a male instead. They called me because I was the one that picked up the son and was in the process of embalming him. I told them that they would have to talk to her because I do not work on that side of the business. They were raising absolute hell about having a female funeral director. I told them that if they did not want her, then I was sure the funeral home just down the street would be more than willing to help them out. They were so surprised at that comment and decided to let her take care of their funeral needs.
4:49 what did she think was gonna happen when she said she wasn't gonna be told what to do by someone younger that the younger woman would be replaced?
I had a boss that was younger than me for a little bit, first words out of my mouth were me jokingly saying “hey you’re young for “this position”, I’ll expect you to be pretty good at this then... oh I’m just joking. Glad to have ya aboard.” Decent way to break the ice, the dude was pretty chill though
I have a 1978 and 1977 Nova (used to also have a 76) and whenever we run into people oohing and ahing over one of the cars they always go straight to husband and its always fun watching him say he has no clue and to let him get his wife because "she knows more than I do". The looks he get are priceless.
I bet that 'cover' was a 710-cap.
Maybe. It could be an oil cap, though that is nickle, some people call it silver or white. Maybe he needed a white hood for his car.
All we know is, there is no part of the engine called a cover.
More likely its cylinder block cover
"Fantabulous" _is_ a word!
As a career ER nurse the last story made me laugh. First, we all wear scrubs and stethoscopes, so it is easy to get us confused. It helps to remember that the cleaner is the one with the mop. That being said, the nurses are all experienced at least as much as the interns and residents so you will get a faster and usually more accurate diagnosis from one of us. Have a little confidence in experience over qualifications, please.
I love to start my week-end with a good «DarkFluff» and the sound of your voice and chuckles.
"I don't want to be diagnosed by a nurse" Many nurses have more hospital experience than doctors the same age because they don't spend as long studying.
as a medical student when i go to hospitals i learn more from nurses than from doctors because doctors think and connect while nurses apply and maintain
The car thing ,with the customer not knowing what they wanted but expected you to read their mind, would happen to me ALL THE TIME at a candy store I worked at.

God, a few years ago I worked at an ice cream shop for a few months before starting college, and I was promoted pretty quickly to shift manager because I was always early and very meticulous. One of my scoopers/till workers was a 50+ year old man, and it was always somewhat awkward being an 18 year old kid in charge of him.
With the Dr. And the symptoms. Most likely its them inputting your symptoms and notes to notate your chart. Especially if they're having computer problems.
That last one... I've had so many appointments where the nurses do the lion's share of the work I might have made the same mistake. Generally, I don't even ask because a Nurse practitioner can write prescriptions too.
My partner is 26 and is the manager of the shop he works at, only second to the owner. Surprisingly he doesn't have issues from the guys older than him, his biggest issues are from the young 20s guys that feel he shouldn't be their superior as he is "basically their age". The older guys normally just tell them to pull their head in when they start with their comments
I had a girlfriend that was the service writer at a small auto shop and she rebuilt the motor for one of my work truck. That truck ran better then any other truck on the lot.
As someone who became a supervisor in my early 20s, I know what you go through. Just keep doing your job and while getting further promoted, they (may) start noticing your worth (please don't quote me or hold your breath on this one).Now, much older, and retired early, I have no regrets to working hard, learning the business, and getting paid better.
I always go and see the same doctor because she is very kind and knows what sheet I get myself into.
World needs more Bruces.
"I need a cover for something in my engine! only a man will be able to understand what it is, unfortuonatly i ain't enough of a man to know what kind of cover it is!"
I feel you, I'm in my late 20s and a plumbing/mechanical foreman. Been with the same company for 10+ years so I know all my coworkers pretty well, it's the other trades that I always end up arguing with.
For the doctor checking their phone in the third story. If it’s for a walk-in or urgent care clinics the doctors are usually looking up the codes for the diagnosis for insurance purposes. Since sometimes you pay upfront and then file for reimbursement later or your insurance covers the costs depending on the clinic insurance policies. They either have to look in a thick book for the codes or just google it which is faster.

This happens all the time in the tech industry, you have a 24 year old senior developer interviewing a 40 year old. It's awkward but comes with the industry. You are expendable if your don't keep up with the technology.
Yes, that really boils my mind. What cover did he want/need???
i grew up around medical professionals.
oftentimes medical professionals do in fact google symptoms since there's a lot of illnesses and nuances to keep track of. the difference between a normal person and a medical professional is that medical professionals actually know how to distinguish symptoms better than we do since they have way more experience than we do. they also ask other doctors for second opinions regularly to make sure that they aren't overlooking anything.
i hope this helps
14:50 - "I thought he was googling my symptoms, and then he went to go ask a colleague."
Me - "Doctors will google symptoms to see what sicknesses come up. If multiple come up, they'll go over it with other doctors to try and match the diagnosis. So yes it's normal, and no, it's not sketchy.
Not introducing yourself when you walk in is a huge faux pa in medicine. We are taught to do that from the first day we practice patient interactions in First year of medical school. "Hello, I'm doctor so and so" is always your first sentence.
He could have been looking for a battery terminal cover, or the entire engine casing, the washer fluid cover, transmission fluid cover, oil cover, fracking wheel well cover, interior hood cover, wiring casing- hahaha! Pretty much everything in an engine has some kind of "cover". 🤣🤣🤣
Many hospitals today have things that appear to be phones, but it is just a hand held computer where they take notes or probably can type in certain symptoms.
You don't get to call someone an idiot for not knowing what you need based on no info, especially when you yourself don't know what it is you need.
Working in retail and making my way up to full time management at only 24 I had several cashiers (part time) that were almost twice my age that definitely didn't show the respect even though I was respectful to them.
As someone who has worked in hospitals for years including the walk-in, OR and ER, its very common for doctors to literally google or WebMD your symptoms and then google which meds are most commonly prescribed for that diagnosis and give it to you. They really dont know much more than anyone else, they just have the power to write a prescription. I dont go to the doctor unless its an emergency and i diagnose myself before i get there and have all the facts and meds recommendation before i go so its goes faster when i just tell them what i have and what i need.
One thing older people know better. What happened back when. Back in the late 60's, people combined the words fantastic and fabulous to make the word fantabulous. It is late 60's jargon.
there are two types of seniority. Seniority based on age is meaningless unless you are children. Seniority based on time spent working at a place has worth.
I am a 58 years young female. I don't count age against a person. I have followed orders from people younger than me many times. You are doing a fine job with your videos and I would be proud to have you as my boss if you were.
I work in a call centre as a manager and am one of the younger staff members, there have been times when customers and other consultants have not taken me seriously because of my age
Whenever I need dealer specific parts for my vehicle, I always ask for "Kathy"! She's not real young, however, she does know that parts department inside and out....
Hello, wonderful, wonderful, friend 🥰😍😘😘😘😘thank you for the great stories 😛
When the doctors are “typing your symptoms into their phones” they’re usually just inputting diagnosis codes and prescription orders into the hospital’s online system. At least that’s what has been the case in my experience.
My mom is one of those do it yourself people when it comes to car maintenance (she would take it in if there was a major issue, but for minor ones she would do it herself). Every time she would go to the parts store or auto shop to get something for her car, the people working would ask her "did your dad or brother had send you down here for something?". She had this one friend who was the manager of the shop who would often times come out and tell his employees "boys I'm pretty sure this young lady knows more about cars than you and I put together, so shut up and get her what she needs". It always put a smile on her face, and showed that not all of the older generation are idiots.
Where I live, there's a type of nurse that CAN prescribe AND actually do some doctor's duties. These particular nurses are called nurse practitioners. I see the nurse practitioner more often than my GP doctor as she is also an OB/GYN and can be called away any minute.
I want a cover. That’s when you bring out ALL the engine covers and say which one do you want.
No. When the doctor is on their phone, typing in symptoms, they're usually documenting those symptoms for the chart
Story1: ok Karrn your* fired. Story2: HOOOLLLLLY SHIT! Story3: never had that happen to me (yet) ...
Good morning fluff! I hope you're having a great day!
I don't have a problem following orders from someone younger, but they better know what they are talking about. When it comes to parts, you can never over explain yourself.
The world has changed, that back in the days where the bosses were older than you, but now days that's not true. I learned to respect my bosses no mater how old he/she is.
i also wanna point out that, if you have strep, you dont get meds to help get rid of strep, you only get meds to lessen the complications of it. you just have to ride it out.
Sounds like Rick was just insecure that he couldn't identify the engine parts 🤣
On the docs pulling out their phones...they were probably looking it up online. I had an obgyn look up my symptoms on webmd - right in front of me. It just felt so frustrating and made me extremely concerned.
Yes, be concerned that the doctor may be verifying their hypothesis and error checking themselves. Because humans are infallible and remember all the things once they get a degree.
They weren't necessarily just googling. There are reference tools (encyclopedias, if you like) for doctors. My doctor years ago had one (he was so proud of his new toy, he just had to show me!😁) No doctor, no matter how good they are, can be expected to know everything, or keep up with the latest research. Not knowing what the posters was looking up i can't say, but it doesn't mean they're incompetent.
Though they probably shouldn't do it front of the patient.
So there's actually a really cool bit of software Drs. can use on their phone that cross references all your symptoms and kicks out probabilities of diagnosis. It's often used to confirm thier diagnosis and check for anything that they may need to rule out another possibly critical condition before sending you home.
I've had mixed results when being the acting line lead at my job. I'm 26, and one of the youngest on my line. Some of the older new hires are nonplussed with having someone so young as their superior. It's quite amusing when they go to my much older coworkers for help, and they just get sent to me.
