Today, during my second day as a receptionist, every time the phone rang I jumped in shock. My co-workers now already think I'm weird. FML

I wouldn't want to be in the same room as you during a fire drill.

It's probably because of that time you worked for a phone sex line. There was one guy who was so perverted you hung up on him after calling him a pervert. He then kept calling you back after tracing your number. You were so afraid, till this day, you are still scared of picking up the phone... I have a wild imagination.

At my work, the default ringtone is the shower scene music from "Psycho." On a busy day, this place begins to smell from all the people relieving themselves in fear.

If nothing else just keep using hand sanitizer, it cuts the smell of loose bowels -

Well, if you're going to be a receptionist you probably shouldn't be afraid of the phone.

Um...one of the main duties of a receptionist is to answer the phone. If you're scared of it, you shouldn't have that job. That makes me mad, that people like you can get the good jobs whereas good people like me who work their butts off barely get 10 hours a week at a convenience store. That's what's wrong wrong with the world today.

This makes me so mad - people like you get a job like that, which I went to school for and have a degree for. You're scared of a phone as a receptionist and I barely get 10 hours a week at a dollar store, with a degree under my belt. It's sickening. YDI

Why are you getting a job at a dollar store whilst you have a degree?
