Vaginal Suppositories Gone Wrong 🧑🏼‍⚕️

I had an older lady in her 50's come into the pharmacy. The first words out of her mouth were, "I still itchy". When asking for more details, she said that she had been taking the medication for six days and she was still itching. She then states, "and them things taste nasty." Pharmacist explains they were vaginal suppositories that need to be inserted vaginally. She then had a puzzled face and asked what that was. We tried several words such as "where the babies come out" and she still was not getting it. Finally we said, "you know where you get fucked in?" And she surprisingly said, "you mean my fuck box?"

Can You Prescribe an N95? 😷

I had a patient ask if we had n95s available. I told him no, you can’t get them anywhere, they’re rationed to hospitals only. He asks “what if I had a prescription?” I really had to explain to this man that we, a pharmacy, were not a hospital and could not get them and that no, you can’t get a prescription for an n95.

Endless Refill Request ♾️

A man comes to the register and dumps a plastic bag full of empty and half empty orange vials (I'd say at least 25 of them) and says "Tell me what's due". I try to explain that there is no easy way for me to tell and that it's gonna take a lot of time and he goes "it's ok, I am in no hurry, I'll just go shop around".
