Just missed her then! Hope she's recovered from the experience. It is very stressful. My manager got attacked in our office!

Any work dealing with the public is stressful hey? Especially service providers like council, NHS, even supermarkets.....

The world is a mad place inhabited by insane people... generalism but you get my drift!

Hi, just popped in to say good night and saw your q.

Yes, I was a rents officer at one point. Scary stuff. I also used to collect housebound rents for a short while and had to walk around with money and the council wouldn't even pay out for a rape alarm or allow two people to go together. I was 24 years old..... Luckily nothing happened to me.

Night both!

hey, i'm having difficulty with one of the bloody mothers at school when i pick my kids up. working with people all day everyday i just could not do. i really dont know how these people do it.

in general i like people, i just dont like talking to them.

as for NHS staff they all deserve a medal for what they have to put up with.

in general i like people, i just dont like talking to them. I love talking but can just as easily stand / sit for hours and people watch, I find people fascinating....

as for NHS staff they all deserve a medal for what they have to put up with.Too right!!!!
