The Most Embarrassing Real Life Moments

Hello, Operator?

I worked on the switchboard at a major hospital. The calls are normally pretty straightforward. But I had this one lady call up with the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. She was saying that she had spinal fluid coming out of her nose.

I had to somehow explain—to an adult—that the fluid coming out of her nose was mucous. It was an awkward phone call for both of us. Story credit: Reddit / Mittens-alalala
