I still remember my first shift at the video store. The highlight (or lowlight) was when one woman decided to discuss her droopy eyebrows with me. How I managed to give her an "in" to talk about the excessive skin hanging around her eyes I'll never work out. She explained that they were very annoying but that it was OK because she could claim they affected her eyesight and get Medicare to pay for the plastic surgery!
At least now when I look at the tax section of my pay slip I know that my money is going to good use.
