*Mods- I think this goes here as it's not a true SC story*
When I first started my new job, I got a phone call from a woman in labor.
Yesterday I got a phone call from a woman who needed some documents. She was kind of witchy as she was on a speaker phone and I could hardly hear her. She refused to take me off speaker phone, so I had to ask her at least 3 times to repeat herself. Anyway, I finally figured out what she needed and emailed it to her.
Today I followed up by calling her and asking if she got her documents. She replied that she didn't. I confirmed her email address and asked her to call me by the end of the day if she didn't get them. Her reply was this:
"I'd rather get this done now. I'm 9 months pregnant, 4cm dialated and about ready to go into labor. This is my 4th child, so I think it's going to go pretty quick...."
Seriously? Wow. In my one month at my new job, I have talked to 2 women who were literally in labor as we spoke.
The only thing I could think of while in labor was, "Get this thing out of me NOW!" and "Don't you EVER TOUCH ME AGAIN!"
