Dental Patients

are demanding pricks.

They are rude and somehow think I "owe" them something based sheerly on the fact that I sit behind a desk at an office where they come to have their gums treated.

For my friends who go to the dentist (hopefully applies to all you) please be nice to the people who take care of your teeth. If they seem aloof, or even a little bit cold, it's probably because they are tired of rude, demanding, demeaning pricks telling them what to do all the time.

Just smile - that always breaks the ice with me.

And, thank you, from all health care professionals around.
