Hello. So, I have never had any work experience (save babysitting and running a stand at artist alley at anime conventions) yet I just had a really funny experience with an SC Friday I thought would be funny if I shared. Events in this may be kinda exaggerated since I was slightly drugged and in a weird state of mind at the time.
Friday I got all four wisdom teeth pulled, which was not that bad since they number me up a lot and used the nitrous oxide (sp?) on me so I was a-ok. After I was released from the dentist with my cheeks packed with gauze to deal with my gums bleeding my mom took me to the pharmacist where I got the pills I needed to deal with the pain (once I would have feeling back in my mouth) and some stuff to ward off infection. After the pharmacist, my mom decided to take me to the grocery store so she could get me some drinkable yogurt to help me out when I was hungry (it really hurts to chew).
Let me set the scene for you. I was in a muddy kind of state of mind and slightly out of it. I couldn't really walk straight and I couldn't think straight. My mom suggested leaving me in the car while she got the yogurt but after sitting in the dentist's office for over an hour while they were taking the teeth out, I wanted to stretch my legs a bit so she reluctantly let me walk around the store with her. I was a bit more steady on my feet when I had the cart to push around, everything was fine.
We ended up buying a few more items than drinkable yogurt and went to check out. Around this time, I started to drool and since my mouth was completely numb, I didn't really notice. I also didn't notice that I was drooling blood. This is where the SC comes in. She's standing in front of us with the cashier just finishing up her order.
R=The wonderful me
M=My mom
C=The really nice clerk
SC=who else?
SC: (staring at me, then lets out this weird sound, not really a yell or a scream but a....ahh?) What the hell is wrong with you?
R: (confused, brain has not caught up to the situation)
SC: Why's your jaw bleeding?
M: (notices, hands me a kleenex) Sorry, she just had her wisdom teeth pulled and she's still a bit numb.
R: (really embarrassed wiping up drool with the kleenex and slightly muffled with the gauze and stuff in my mouth) Sorry
SC: But she's bleeding
M: Well, she's just had her teeth out.
SC: But why is she here if she's bleeding.
M: Well, she-
SC: Don't interupt me (narator's notes: you ended your sentance, let my mom have a word in!)
The SC kinda starts yelling at my mom, telling her she's a bad mother if her daughter is walking around in "that state" and all this other jazz. My mom is just nodding, she doesn't want any trouble, so this lady's walking all over her. The clerk looks kinda panicked, and I'm kinda just now zooming into the arguement because apparently yelling will bring Rena down from the drug induced cloud nine she was on. The way this woman's yelling at my mom pisses me off all to hell because I was the one who wanted to walk around and I am not a small child, I'm a 22 year old woman. I finally have enough and glare at the woman.
R: (glaring and still muffled and talking weird with the gauze) Shut your mouth. Your opinion never mattered to begin with ma'am. I find no way in which I was disturbing you, and at my age it is my responsibility to look after myself. It's not my mom's fault I'm out here, I want to be out here, and I'm not bleeding that much. If you have a problem with that, bring it up with me.
(I don't really tell this woman what I would like to because my mother is there and even if I am an adult, if I cursed in front of her I'd fare far worse than I was with just some teeth pulled)
SC: (stunned, then glaring) Why I never! (takes her groceries and leaves while I resist the urge to show her the finger.)
C: (looking kinda wide-eyed) So...you just had your wisdom teeth pulled?
C was very nice and told me she'd had her wisdom teeth taken out a few years ago. Then she gave me a few pointers with how to deal with the pain and discomfort you get after having your wisdom teeth pulled. She even apologized to my mom for SC, though I don't think she had to. SC was not C's problem, she's just a problem.
I don't see what the big problem was. I was drooling a bit of blood, and that problem was quickly resolved. Don't be mean and yell at my mom!

Perfect comeback.
And blood! Oh my, nobody has ever seen BLOOD before, have they! The Store should have shut-down for a complete hazmat scrub-down and decom with medical evaluations for everyone who was exposed to you!!!! 
She's 17 and when I said hey you're drooling blood and came toward her with a napkin she just stuck her face out and let me mop it up like she was 5
