ER Nurse Roasts Patients' Girlfriends

I work in the ER and whenever I see dudes come in with their early 20s girlfriends I always make it a point to say; "Is this your Mom here with you?" The girls obviously are shaken to their core immediately but it's not so out of pocket that it seems like an insult. It just seems like I'm genuinely trying to figure out who's here with the patient. They just know I called them old and I watch them contemplate to themselves if they look ugly and hag-like. I also ask single Moms with their mixed race kids if they; "Want me to add Dad as an emergency contact?" Their faces always sink and they look away as they tell me no in embarrassment.

A screenshot of an anonymous forum post by someone claiming to work in an emergency room. The poster describes deliberately embarrassing young girlfriends by asking whether they are the patient’s mother, and single mothers by offering to add the children’s absent father as an emergency contact. The joke is cruel social trolling based on age insecurity, appearance, and family embarrassment. EN: A screenshot of an anonymous forum post by someone claiming to work in an emergency room.
