We can't all be calm under pressure. It's especially difficult to be calm when you're also hurting, as u/ihatevegtables shared in a story to r/MaliciousCompliance.
They recall the time they were working a college move out day. If you aren't familiar with the concept, that's when you're a student living in a dorm, and you have to move out at an assigned time at the end of the semester. You have to pack everything up — clothes, mini fridge, text books — and toss it in a big bin on wheels. If your dorm has an elevator, you will then stand and wait for the elevator for a very, very long time, as you and every other student on your dormitory floor try to get downstairs one at a time. Then, you have to haul your belongings to your car (or probably your parent's car, if we're being real), pack up, and leave. But now there's a line of cars, so you'll have to wait for that, too.
So yeah, move in and move out days are always a tad stressful. At least there are employees who are usually very kind and friendly who can help guide the process along. This employee tried their best to help a woman who'd gotten stung by a bee. But clearly this woman was overreacting. The OP made sure she wasn't allergic, she literally just had a regular old bee sting. Those do hurt…but I don't know if all the hullabaloo was necessary just for that.
After you scroll through this story, read about this boss who accidentally fired his employee, only for the employee to request 20x their salary to return to the workplace.
