You won’t believe what this veterinary technician did when a customer insulted her intelligence over a dog’s name!
Not every day, you come across a story that perfectly balances humor and revenge, but this one takes the cake. A veterinary technician (OP) working in a busy animal hospital had an encounter with a particularly unpleasant customer and his pit bull. As OP checked them in, she asked the man his dog’s name. He tells me the dog’s name is Gucci. I ask how he spells it because you can never assume anything these days. Only to be met with an eye roll and an insult.
“You don’t know how to spell Gucci? Are you an idiot or something?” the man sneered.
Now, any more decent person would have simply corrected the spelling and moved on, but not this owner, and OP knew precisely how to get back at him, so being so rude and leaving him with a permanent reminder of his own arrogance. Veterinary medical records are legal documents kept on file for several years. And that’s where this vet tech decided to strike.
For the next decade, she made sure that every time the man and his dog came in for a visit, the record showed that he arrived with a dog named “Goochy.” That’s right; OP purposefully misspelled the dog’s name to make it seem like the customer didn’t know how to spell it himself! It was the perfect way to subtly insult him without him ever realizing it.
The best part of this whole story is that the customer had no idea he was being pranked. He probably thought the vet tech had made a mistake and accidentally misspelled the name. But in reality, OP was getting the last laugh every time he came in with his furry friend.
Words of wisdom were shared in the Reddit comments.
“Never name your pet something you would not want to yell from your front porch.” Prompting another user’s story of their cat’s name and how the vets struggled to keep a straight face when her mum walked into the surgery and announced it.
“There was this partially feral stray cat a few years ago that used to hang around my house. He was pretty nice when he warmed up to you, but otherwise, he was skittish.
Anyway, we named him the Sperminator (we think he’s responsible for the last batch of kittens here before that cat got spayed). The low-cost spay-neuter clinic puts a piece of tape with their name on it on their carrier, and they asked what his name was. I couldn’t imagine someone writing SPERMIATOR on it, so I just said, “Uhm… just call him kitty.”
Then my mom was the one who picked him up for me later that day, and she walked in and loudly asked, “Alright! Where’s the sperminator!?”
Other commenters couldn’t get over how savvy OP had been and thought the entire situation was hilarious.
“I hope your practice sends out those reminder letters for checkups and jabs. “Dear sir, this is a reminder that Goochy is due to be seen by us for a glow-up appointment.”
“Just imagine the reply.
Goochy is a little sore still after seeing the vet today; I might have to have a salt bath and wait for the swelling to go down before Goochy is allowed out again.”
“Turns out he has no interest in fashion and has never heard of Gucci.”
This story is a great reminder that sometimes, the best revenge is the subtle one. Rather than lashing out or getting angry, OP found a clever way to get back at a rude customer and leave him with a lasting memory of his arrogance. And who knows, maybe the next time he decides to insult someone’s intelligence, he’ll think twice before doing so again.
So there you have it – the story of the vet tech who turned a rude customer’s insult into a decade-long revenge prank. It’s proof that the best way to handle a difficult situation is sometimes with a healthy dose of humor and a touch of cunning. Who knows, maybe this story will inspire others to find creative ways of dealing with difficult people in their lives.
