Needs To Night-Shift Their Opinion
BIRMINGHAM, DOCTOR/PHYSICIAN, ENGLAND, JERK, PARENTS/GUARDIANS, PUB, UK | RIGHT | MAY 15, 2021
My brother and I are functionally nocturnal. We sleep at 10:00 am and wake at 4:00 pm. After a stressful night at work, the two of us find a pub and buy some drinks. As the weather is nice, we decide to sit outside while we drink.
A woman passes by with a bunch of young children. She sees us and points us out to her children.
Woman: *Pointing at us* “Disgraceful. It’s not even eight. Drinking at this hour. Kids, make sure you don’t become like them. You all must study hard and not be drunk deadbeats like them.”
Me: “Ma’am, really? You don’t want your kids to become doctors? Okay.”
Brother: “Pity. We need more surgeons on the night shift. Accidents can happen at any hour.”
Me: “Like that old man that had a stroke at 4:00 am?”
Brother: “Or that drunk driver that crashed at 2:00 am?”
Me: “Whatever. Kids, if your mom doesn’t want you to save lives, then who am I to complain?”
As we speak, we pull out our staff lanyards for the local hospital, grin, and knock our bottles together. Admittedly, we are a bit drunk by now, which is why we are being so unprofessional.
Woman: “Don’t listen to them, kids. They’re liars and drunks and a disgrace to society.” *Drags them away*
