I don't mind people using the Internet to look stuff up except when they are too stupid to use the information correctly, then try to tell me I'M the idiot.
Ms. Dumass: "I have a severe lacrimation*"
Me: "You have....watery eyes?"
Ms. Dumass: "No! Don't you know medical terminology?? I have a bad cut on my foot!"
Me: "Ah, I apologize. I thought you said 'severe lacrimation'"
Ms. Dumass: "Yes, of course, that's what I said, a lacrimation!"
Some days it's just not worth bothering to try to educate nasty people who are dumber than a box of rocks. Please don't use big words you don't understand, it merely serves to emphasize your stupidity. Thank you.

I remember as a new nurse having a family member scream in my face about when I was going to activate the mediport. I had to leave the room to keep from laughing in her face.
