Since Allison is taking a little break right now(lazy, lazy girl) I thought I'd help out a little bit with the entertainment over here. I work in a pharmacy and am always amazed at how stupid some people are. Last night I'm ringing a woman up and she asks me how to keep her ear drops from falling out of her ears while she putting them in. I think maybe she wasn't lying flat on her side, maybe she had a pillow under her head or something else like that. So I suggest lying completely flat on her side either on the bed or the sofa and waiting 10 or 15 minutes before getting up. So she looks at me like I'm a genius and says, "Ohhhh. I was standing up talking on the phone the first time. Maybe that was the problem. Thank you so much for your help." So she leaves completely happy and satisfied with my excellent custmer service while I proceed to tell my other two co-workers about how dumb some people are. This then starts them into telling their stories. My pharmacist definately topped the cake. A woman called him complaining that her suppository wasn't working and so he started asking her questions and came to realize that she was not removing the aluminum casing before inserting that bad boy. I wanted to die I laughed so hard. Those suckers could cut you. Then I started wondering how she got it out. You are supposed to put them pretty far up there. Who knows.

Here are 3 questions that you should never ask your pharmacy because WE DON'T KNOW:

Why is my co-pay so high?
Why isn't this medication covered on my plan? Note-Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are almost never covered. You guys gotta pay a pretty penny to have some fun.
My co-pay wasn't this much last time I get this. What's the problem?

There are thousands of plans out there and we are not privy to every change and nuance to everyones policy. These are the most annoying questions and we are asked them every single day. Just pay for your stinking drugs and go argue with your employer for not have a better plan for you.
