Health, Dentist and Work: Gummy

Gummy

By speechless - 02/11/2010 17:20 - Canada

Today, I had a toothache and applied some numbing gel to soothe the pain. Too much came out and made my whole mouth numb. A man came into my work, thought I was making fun of his lisp, and stormed out really upset. He later called to complain about me. The boss just called me to his office. FML

Today, I went to the dentist to get a tooth filled. The nurse just finished taking my info when the doctor came in and started drilling. Through my chorus of screams he realized he'd forgotten to numb me. His only response was, "Guess I forgot to numb ya, huh?" while giggling. FML

Today, my manager took me aside and angrily told me to quit fucking about with our customers. He totally refuses to believe that the slight whistling sound I keep making when I exhale is because I have a chipped tooth. FML

No pain, no gain

Today, I went to the dentist to get a cavity filled. The numbing medication didn't work, so I felt everything. I was in so much pain that I accidentally bit down on the dentist's finger, causing him to yell in agony. Now, I have to find a new dentist. FML

Today, an elderly gentleman came into my store complaining of a toothache, so I showed him where the Orajel was located. He then insisted on making a big scene, claiming that I really had the magic touch and if I would just stroke his cheek all his pain would go away. FML

Today, I went to the dentist to get a cavity filled. As the dentist was drilling, he accidentally hit a nerve and I ended up screaming in pain. The whole office heard me and now I'm too embarrassed to go back. FML

Today, my boss called and yelled at me because he said I was "spotted" out after I called off sick. I was out getting the medicine the doctor had just prescribed me. FML

Stiff upper lip

Today, I went to the dentist for a routine check-up, and halfway through the appointment, the dentist exclaimed, "Oops!" Turns out, he accidentally glued my lips together while fixing a tiny chip in my front tooth. I spent the next two hours communicating through exaggerated facial expressions and hand gestures. FML

Today, I went to the dentist. My dentist kept talking to me while his hands were in my mouth. I attempted to tell him that it was difficult and dangerous to respond. My talking made him slip and slice my mouth open with one of his instruments. FML

Today, I went to the dentist for a routine cleaning. As the dentist was working on my teeth, he accidentally sprayed water all over my face. I couldn't stop laughing nervously, which made the dentist think I was choking. He ended up calling for backup and I had to explain that I was just laughing. FML

Explain what happened. Simple. Once again - life isn't hard. If he fires you for it, keep walking and don't look back - who wants to work for dumbasses?

Sometimes, working for a dumbass is better than no work at all. Not to mention that I don't know of any career choice that offers immunity from working with dumbasses, either.

ydi for taking drugs at work, suck it up and maybe take stock of your dental hygiene.

Maybe OP does take care of his/her teeth. Some tooth issues can't be prevented. A year ago, I was in severe pain because my wisdom teeth were coming in sideways and growing into my other teeth. I was on Vicoden until they were removed.

Sounds like as good an excuse as any. Run with it! And next time, make fun of random hairlips out in public, not your work place.

He/she should fire you if you're on FML in the middle of the day when they've just called you to their office.

How does the guy with the lisp know you don't have one also? Don't worry, your boss is just calling you in his office to joke about the call had to listen to and tried to understand.

Apparently that customer thinks he's the only one in the world who's allowed to have lisp. Everyone else who has it is just trying to make his life miserable.
