I was in the Emergency Department with my lovely student Calli the other day. The patient's husband was very attentive, helping us move chairs and carts, etc. as we brought our ultrasound machine in.
Calli: Watch your toes, sir...I don't want to run over them...
Man: It's okay, I have steel-toed boots on. My toes have been run over by a car before and I was okay.
Calli: Oh my.
Man: You don't weigh as much as a car, do ya?
Calli: Ummm...
Man: You don't look as big as a car, for a girl anyway.
Calli: Uhhh...
Man: I mean, a car weighs 4000 pounds...you don't weigh 4000 pounds, do ya?
Calli: Well, no!....(nervous laugh)
Kari: Sir, please...
Awkward.

good night. stop digging, friend! just let it lie and slap yourself in your face and walk away!
One of our technologists dropped something, bent over to pick it up... the little old LADY laying on the bed asked her if she could pinch her butt. Our tech said "excuse me??" and the lady said "it is just so round and cute!"
Um. Awkward :)
