You know how you get those patients who ask you for antibiotics because they say they want to keep it just for emergency, and if they feel unwell, they get to pop one of those magic little pills in and Ta-Da! They are well again.

Usually I will roll my eyes and say No, and then they give you a WTF, this pharmacist don't know anything look.

My mom did that to me today. Well not the last part. She asked me for some antibiotics to give to my dog. To which I got really irritated and gave a resounding NO, I'm not going to give antibiotics just so you can give him when he looks unwell. If he looks sick, send him to a vet, I'll pay for it.

And she gave that laugh of hers which means she is still gonna do it anyway. I am going to go through the medicine cabinet when i get home and throw away all the antibiotics that I see.

This is annoying I tell you.

I go to mandarin classes, yoga classes and dance classes during my weekdays.

On my weekends, I go hill-walking and I want to start badminton.

I am trying to learn stupid Italian.

I am trying to learn my OTC stuff at the same time.

I have realized that I am doing all these in order to feel something.

And it scares me that I don't feel anything at all.

I hate chinese patients!

I was gonna rant about world's rudest patient. But I ran out of steam. Damn.

Anyway, long story short, I can't speak chinese. Everybody knows that.

That patient knows that. So?

And I was doing something else also and I didn't dispense his medication to him. For the 15 mins that he was waiting there at the pharmacy, he spoke at the top of his voice about how I was useless for not being able to speak chinese, and it just went on and on. And this was totally uncalled for. I didn't provoke him. So I don't know what the fuck was his fucking problem. I was there and he spoke chinese and called me useless and all sort of other names right in front of me.

And he also can speak english. So my colleague tried to tactfully tell him that he was being rude. So he used this as a conversation starter. Colleague said: your english is not bad. Idiotic patient then replies in chinese of course : It's not as good as her english but she don't know any chinese at all, what for? So useless.

And that's why my friend, I think I am going to give up the chinese language for good. Who the fuck cares? I say asshole chinese people should be stamped out like the cocky little vermins they are.

Oh by the way, patient is a he/she because he's a fat dude with man boobs with a girl's voice and a girl's face. (*it had to be said! ) and that bloody asshole is our age. If he was like 80, I would so totally get it. But he's not.

Don't you just love these little moments that ruins your entire day?
