(I work in my stepdad's medical office. I am about 10 minutes late due to a car accident delaying traffic. There is an older patient waiting outside the office.)
Patient: *testily* "Why are you late?"
Me: "I'm very sorry, ma'am. There was an accident on my way in delaying traffic. Let me unlock the door, and I'll help you."
Patient: "Well, I was going to leave, but I'll see Dr. [Name] now."
Me: "Once again, I'm very sorry, ma'am. He's not in his office today. He's doing school testing."
Patient: "This is unacceptable. Your sign says you're open from 10-4 on Thursdays!"
Me: "Ma'am, do you have an appointment?"
Patient: "No, you stupid girl! I don't need an appointment!"
Me: "Well, our sign also says we don't take walk-ins. So yes, you do need one."
Patient: "This is outrageous! Why can't I see the doctor?"
Me: "I just told you that, ma'am. Now I can schedule an appointment for you, or—"
Patient: "You call the doctor and get him back here right now! If you don't, I'll have my grandson come by and beat you up!"
Me: "Ma'am, I think you need to leave."
Patient: "Why? I'm paying you!"
Me: "Because you just threatened to have me assaulted. If you do not leave immediately, I will call hospital security and have you escorted out."
(She doesn't leave. She calls her grandson, who apparently turns down her offer for him to come and hurt me, and I call security. The following Monday, a young man about my age walks into the office. He is holding a bouquet of flowers.)
Young Man: "Hi, are you the lady my grandmother asked me to beat up?"
Me: "Yes, I think that would be me."
Young Man: *hands me the flowers* "I am so sorry. She does this every time she doesn't get her way. I just wanted to thank you for being one of the few to not cave to her demands."
