Ohh my - we have entered a new plateau of stoopid

Okay, we all know the lady (or gentleman) that tells us a long ass story merely to tell us they want to pick up the prescription that was filled 4 days ago. Today took retarded to a knew level. Here’s the story (my words in bold as they are more important - my thoughts are in brackets):

[Keep in mind - nothing was said prior to this first comment]

“I was taking this medicine and it really did a job on me. It was tearing my stomach up. Do I have to pick it up?”

“I think I might be missing something here. What’s the question again?” [What? What?]

“Okay, so I went to this one doctor and he told me to stop taking it. But, the other doctor called it in. It hurts my stomach so bad. He told me to take Pepcid AC once a day.” [At this point I look for her bag. She has a Celexa and a note that says D/C Niacin]

“Well, I looked over here and you have one prescription ready. It’s for generic Celexa.”

“Ohh yes, that’s the one that I want. But, can I quit taking other’n?”

“Well, I cannot tell you to stop taking a medcine. I would say you need to get in contact with your doctor.” [This lady has a screw loose]

“Well do I have to pick it up?”

“You only have one prescription ready. You said you wanted it. I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”

“Well, I don’t want to pay for it.”

“Ma’am, if you don’t want to pick up a prescription, you don’t have to. Just because I fill it doesn’t require you to pick it up.”

“So I can just have it?”

“No, if you want to take something from the pharmacy, you have to pay for it.”

“But, it hurts my stomach so bad…” [Is this really happening to me]

“What do you want from me? Do you want this Celexa that is filled?”

“Yes, but I don’t want the other…” [Oh. My. God.]

“You don’t have to take it. I’ll put it back. I’ll call your doctor Monday and tell him that you cannot take the Niacin because it’s hard on your stomach.”

“Thank you…”

“Alright…have a nice day…”

[I really wanted to either kill myself or have this insane lady committed. What really pisses me off is that this bitch took this prescription, walked out to her car, and DROVE HOME! She couldn't even handle a conversation much less drive! She didn't understand her medicines. She merely wanted to tell me that she took Niacin, and it didn't agree with her. She no longer wanted to take it. She, of course, didn't want to purchase it. UGH!]

Today, I also heard these two insanely overweight women talking about how healthy they are. They conversed about how they only bake their foods. The jabbered about how one of their doctors told her baking was the only way to cook. I really wanted to chime in with, “While cakes are baked, that does NOT make them healthy. It’s not how you cook…it’s WHAT you cook and how much of it you shovel in your mouth.”

That’s all I can remember. I’m sure something else bitchin’ happened, but it escapes me now…maybe tomorrow. I’m gonna buy a little memo book and jot this shit down as it happens that way I can more accurately share it with the world.
