Today, I went to my dentist of four years. After the cleaning, the hygienist and I scheduled my next appointment, and she briefly left the room, leaving my file open on the computer. The data in a field called "NOTE" caught my eye: "Sissy. Freak. Always late. Ask about family or will flirt." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I overheard a coworker talking about going to what sounded like a dentist's appointment. As she left later, I jokingly said, "Remember to open wide!" Turned out her appointment was with her OB/GYN, not a dentist. FML
Today, I answered a call I thought was from my friend and opened with, “What do you want, fuck face?” It was actually my dentist confirming my appointment. There was a long pause before she politely repeated my name to ensure they had the right patient. FML
Today, after spending almost an hour in the dentist's waiting room, watching other people get called in for their appointments, I finally lost my patience and asked the receptionist what was taking so long. I'd forgotten to sign in. FML
Today, I left work early because I had a dentist appointment. I got to the clinic, checked in, and sat down. Ten minutes later, the receptionist asked why I was there. My appointment is next Wednesday. I had taken the afternoon off for nothing. FML
Today, I went to the school dentist for the yearly routine check. She took ages trying to clean out my teeth with the metal toothpick-thing, constantly hitting my gums. After half an hour of pain and spitting blood, she looks up and says, laughing: "Oh, I forgot to put my glasses on". FML
Today, I went to the dentist for a routine cleaning. As I was leaving, the receptionist told me to "have a nice day" and I replied, "You too, love you!" then I went back home and roasted in the embarrassment for an hour or two. FML
Today, I went to the dentist; no one was in the waiting room so I danced around and mouthed songs that were on the radio. It wasn't till after I went to the counter and saw the receptionists laughing like a pack of hyenas that I realized there was a camera. FML
Today, I rushed to a dentist's appointment. Once in the chair, I apologized for not having had the time to brush my teeth beforehand. He responded with, "Ah that's alright, I just took a piss and forgot to wash my hands." FML
Today, I went to the dentist. I got a new dentist who started out a conversation about school. She asked where I went to school and if I liked my principal. After I told her I thought he was full of himself, she said she was married to him. FML
Today, I had a dentist appointment and walked into what looked like the clinic but it was a dental lab. Two technicians were polishing dentures so I asked where Dr. Patel’s office was. They pointed me down a corridor as if it explained why I’d just sat in their reception reading outdated magazines for 5 minutes. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

When they tell you to open your mouth, you shouldn't start flicking your tongue around while bursting into tears. Do one or the other, but not both.

Maybe if you weren't such a sissy, the girl behind the counter would accept your flirting.
Sandsh8rk 36
She probably wouldn't like it either way.

flirting leads to squirting!
jrobert15 2
So she's just supposed to up and accept unwanted flirting?

Well that's just rude and unprofessional. I suggest going to a different place.

Yes, looking at his file on her computer WAS rude and unprofessional. I bet you over half the places you visit that personally deal with members of the public have their own "Notes" column to describe prior encounters at a glance and remind what to expect/how to act. Somewhere my mom worked had a column for little brown asteriscs (asterixes?) to denote if the person is an ass hole.

Actually, it's pretty common for doctors, or anyone in the medical field to keep notes like that. It might come off as unprofessional, but that's how they remember things about each patient. Besides, OP really shouldn't be flirting with the dentist, that's just weird.
Mister_Triangle 21
This practice is common across many industries; pizza delivery drivers do something similar for households depending on how well they tip. For something as personal as a doctor, I see it as a good thing because it allows them to tailor their behavior to give you the best experience. Besides, anything bad written there is your own fault

When I worked at an auto center we used those to remember certain things that customers did or didn't want done to their cars. It was used to cut down on the number of fits customers would throw. Also, we used it to make notes if someone made threats or acted Inappropriately.
Life_sucks_13 6
A lot of places do that. It warns other people who go to work with that client. If someone is extremely rude and someone who isn't used to it or new to that practice gets screamed at by that client they may not know how to handle it very well. So if it's noted on file they could have someone who is used to dealing with hard clients and knows how to control a situation like that without throwing the new person to the wolves.

Next time you're in there just walk up to the counter and say,I'm the late sissy that likes to flirt,and I'm here for my appointment. And make sure that whoever's office it is is there to watch them pull up the notes.
misterjez 15
Hotel industry has that note system on the computer also. Prevents alot of problems.
Kn0wledge123 21
I work front desk at a condominium. We do exactly the same thing for each resident. That's how I know which one is a paycho and which one is a board member.

Are you stupid? Patients have a LEGAL RIGHT to see their own medical records! If he demanded to see HIS records and saw those comments, then that is his LEGAL RIGHT. She shouldn't be putting rude notes into his medical records, considering the fact that they legally belong to him!

OP, next time brace yourself.
kallielou 10
Don't worry OP, it's no big floss.
crimsonlover4 31
Also, don't forget to drill it through your head next time OP.
kallielou 10
He should just brush it off
crimsonlover4 31
He should definitely extract some wisdom from this experience.
kallielou 10
Bravo, that was a good one XD He should also watch his mouth next time and not flirt tooth much...
VorpikeII 17
I think OP needs to find the root of the situation and get his molars straight.
ohSNAPyall 27
Don't expect sugary treatment from your dentist.
MisterEx 28
I am sure OP thought he was toothexy flirting with the dentitht.

You should fill in your dentist's note with thoughts of your own.

13 and 18,you guys are punie.
gc327072 31
54- It's "punny" lern 2 sple
Kn0wledge123 21
Well this pun run took a turn for the worse...I don't have a clever tooth pun. That's it.
flockz 20
this thread of puns was almost plaque worthy.

Go kill yourself.
Boygenius50 8
If it's not too late I could drill in a pun or two.

Relax OP it was only acci dental..
sens3sfailing 25
You should probably swish to a different dentists office. I know a great one in Floride-a with great cre-dentals!
ohSNAPyall 27
Go for it, 68. We'll keep you on retainer.
kallielou 10
I have one last one! :P I think OP should retainer "advice"

61 - he was using a fake word. You can't misspell a fake word. He may have not spelled it the way you would have but that doesn't make it wrong.
gc327072 31
97- puny is pronounced pew-nee, and means "small,weak". If you misspell a fake word, and thus make it into a real word, that's still a misspelling.
blaackandprouud 20
102- no the word was punny, as in a funny pun. Not puny.
sens3sfailing 25
The person 102 was correcting spelled it punie. They deserved to be corrected at that horrible attempt at spelling a fake word
walmartpaysme 15
102 - he wasn't trying to say puny, therefore your argument is irrelevant. Pun plus funny was the attempted word.
sens3sfailing 25
Oh my god, more illiterates. The person 102 corrected attempted to say "punny" but failed and spelled "punie" which is far closer to puny than punny and could be pronounced as puny with ease. 102's correction was not only valid, but correct in my book because it's hard to accidentally type punie.
mzpwns 10
I'm pretty sure "lern 2 sple" isn't correct. Practice what you preach, buddy
that_band_nerd 22
#133- that was the joke. He corrected the other person's spelling of punny and then spelled everything else wrong on purpose.
SarahSehhati 40
No one? No one at all? okay if I must...... CCCCCCC-COMBO BREAKER!!!!!!!!!! :)

It was broken long ago, #138.

Unprofessionalism at its finest.
walmartpaysme 15
The only thing unprofessional was that the receptionist left the notes open for OP to see.
onlychildFTW 34
You are beer supposed to see your file. Because they write down everything about you so future Dr's know what you are like. They will write down if you are late and if you are a pain in the ass to deal with.
CyborgBanana 12
77 - Yay, I am beer! Life complete.

What level of professionalism is a chronically late sissy freak who sexually harasses the staff owed?
thatoneguy79 10
77 - while HIPPA may allow a patient to see their own file, leaving your records up on the screen means that I can walk in behind you and see your records, which is the violation here. Having notes about a patient's history and attitude are simply good practice.
sunshinethehuman 9
Jeez 95 flirting =/= sexual harassment my god
GothicAngel17 24
123- When it's constant and unwelcome towards staff, yes, it is sexual harassment to a certain degree.

You may be a freak but at least you have clean teeth

Or not if they sabotage the freak!!

How unprofessional can you get! She should be fired!

I agree. I cant stand people who cant be professional. Its against scientific ethics to act like that.
Tuesdaythe10th 11
Scientific ethics lolwut
TaoRis 9
you don't even know if she was the one that wrote the notes. OP has been going there for 4 years!
hermitknut 22
Seriously? I can understand her maybe making a more professionally-worded note to remind herself that you find dentistry frightening (I do, and I always appreciate a dentist who understands), but sissy and freak? Callous and unprofessional.
sillyyanks 24
4 years - you must have met he about 8 times tops! CUT YOUR LOSSES! Do you want your hard earned money going to this woman??
perdix 31
You make a good point. If the OP likes to be a flirty freak, there's a different kind of professional woman who will appreciate his business, and earn it the hard way ;)
perdix 31
Actually, there are a lot of hot hygienists out there, some of whom are kind enough to press a tit on your face while they scrape some difficult plaque off a molar.
