It's hard to apply the things I learned at work to normal life without it sounding strange lol
I'd say always be aware of your surroundings and what's going on and who is there. Being observant can benefit you a lot.

I'm not sure my job has taught me anything that is vital technically, but it's taught me how important it is to have a thick skin, and to be okay with criticism.
Also, public speaking and knowing how to connect with an audience/fans. I guess, that kinda delves into social media and how to adequately have a presence on there, while also keeping some privacy.

Learn how to read a fucking tape measure! Everyone needs to know. Huge difference in 4 and an eighth and "about 4 and a half"

Oh boy I love this thread. I'm feeling a bit overworked so here's a few frustrations of mine. I work at a bar btw.
What I learned:
1. Despite what lots of people say about the younger generations, it's definitely "adults" (let's say 35+) who are, on average, the most arrogant, self-entitled people ever. No patience whatsoever.
2. If you want the best service possible, be nice. Nothing extreme, just say hello, say thank you and we'll hurry. Be blunt and rude and you can bet your ass we'll deliberately delay your order.
3. "I'll just have any beer, I trust your judgement". We have more than 200 beers of vastly different tastes. I have absolutely no idea what you like, at least give me something to work with. Don't, and I'll just pick something at random.

My favorite thread is back!
I've learned something gradually the last year or so, that people really don't read or understand medical paperwork that they sign.
I'm not just talking about HIPAA/privacy forms, and stuff like that. But other financial information, insurance release forms. They have no idea what those things mean, how offices can charge them with very little notification/explanation, and how really everything is the patient's responsibility when it comes to eligibility verification. These people just walk in with an old scraggly insurance card and have no idea what it covers, what's changed in the last year, or even if it's still active.
And when you call them on it, boy, do they get pissed.
Understand your insurance, people! Or, ask questions. Hell, i'll even try to answer them.

Turn it off and turn it back on again is way more than just a joke, it's a way of life.

Turn it off and turn it back on again is way more than just a joke, it's a way of life. Shit's too true. "But I've already done that!" is the biggest lie ever.
