35. Skater Punk
This guy got picked up by a taxi on his way to a skatepark with his skateboard. Rudely, the driver demanded to know where this person had been skateboarding. So, he informed the driver that he was on the way to the park. The driver then said that if the skater collided with a person his safe on the sidewalk, they had an 80% chance of dying from a brain hemorrhage. Politely, this guy informed him that he hadn’t skated on the sidewalk. The driver’s response was to ‘ask anyone in the medical profession’ and they’d confirm it. So, this guy calmly told the driver that he was actually an ER doctor. As soon as that was said, the driver’s manner completely changed to a respectful one. Go figure.

34. Good Thing You’re Here
At a university, there were a few lectures given by the head of cardiology at the hospital next door. He once talked about a time when he had been waiting to cross the street when a man next to him collapsed. He knelt down to attend to him when a large woman strode over and physically lifted him – he wasn’t a large man – out of her way. She then said in a loud voice: “I’ll take charge, I have a first-aid certificate!”
