Distraction

A husband and wife comes in requesting something for her finger. I look at it and its an ingrown nail that's causing some swelling. Explained to the husband that its an ingrown nail and she needs to see the doctor to get some antibiotics or antibacterial ointment which you can't get over-the-counter. 

Him: Is there any cream that you can give her in the meantime?
Me: The only thing that I can give you is an antiseptic cream. But I would also recommend you to see the doctor to get some antibiotics coz thats the best thing.
Him: Do you have cream for a cut?
Me: Sure I'll show you that antiseptic cream that you can use in the meantime.
Him: No no wait. I mean its for me.
Me: Excuse me?
Him: I need some cream for my cut here on my foot.
Me: Oh.... (now im getting a bit confused - when did we change convos to talk about ur cut when we were talking about ur wife's ingrown nai... anywayz).... Ok well I thought we were talking abour ur wife's ingrown nail here. So you don't want help for your wife's ingrown nail anymore?
Him: Yeh don't worry about her. Just need something for my cut.
Me: Ok. Show me ur cut.

So he shows me his cut. Which was only 5mm long. Not bleeding and it was already scabbing. SO SMALL. Not infected either.
Me: That's such a small cut there's nothing to worry about. Look if you really want a cream, put this on (gave him Betadine first aid cream so he can be satisfied and leave coz i don't think he'll be happy with a band-aid)

BE A MAN AND SUCK IT UP. Crying over a stupid lil cut while you cut me off all of a sudden in helping ur wife's ingrown nail. Ppl seriously change topics and focus just like that. There's no phase out period, it just goes straight from Scene 1 to Scene 2 without you knowing.
