Furious Man Confronts a Pharmacist Who Insulted His Wife

A husband comes home to find his pretty wife crying. She was absolutely hysterical about something that had happened earlier that day.

She tearfully explained what happened that morning. She called the pharmacist to inquire about something, and he had insulted her terribly on the phone..

“It’s the pharmacist. He insulted me terribly this morning on the phone.”

A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do. Infuriated, her husband drove downtown to confront the pharmacist and demand that he apologize to his wife.

When he got there, he sought out the pharmacist that his wife had spoken to. He appeared to be stressed and quite busy, but that didn’t stop the husband from yelling at him.

Before the husband could finish, the pharmacist stopped him. “Let me tell you my side of the story,” he told the husband. “Yes, I was burned out and in a bad mood before your wife called, but I have a perfectly good explanation.”

“Now, just a minute, please listen to my side of it…”

“This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went without breakfast and hurried out to the car, just to realize that I locked the house with both house and car keys inside. I had to break a window to get my keys. Then, driving a little too fast, I got a speeding ticket.”

He continued, “Later, about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire. When I got to the store, there was a long line of angry customers. I understood that they were relying on me to get their medication, so I hurried behind the counter. The phone was ringing incessantly.”

“When I got to the store, there was a long line of angry customers.”

He continued, “Then one lady paid with cash, and I had to break open a roll of nickels against the cash register drawer to give her change. The roll of nickels spilled all over the floor. I got down on all fours to pick up the mess. Meanwhile, the phone continued to ring.

As I was getting up from the floor, I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with a bunch of perfume bottles on it, and all of them shattered on the ground.

Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing non-stop, and I finally got to answer it. It was your wife. She called because she had one question.

She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer.

“I don’t know what I did wrong, because honestly mister, all I did was tell her how!”

This story definitely shows that we never know all sides to the story, and once we do, it’s sometimes a lot funnier than we thought.
