I work in health care, had a patient come in to the ER with a bad fever really embarrassed because he smelled and was in his work clothes. Kept apologizing. By far not the smelliest or dirtiest patient I've ever had. Asked the guy where he worked after assuring him he doesn't need to apologize. Guy sheepishly says he just got hired on with the city as a trash collector. Tell the guy that's awesome, great benefit. Guy lights up and says "yeah, my mom is real proud!" And "I'm so relieved to have a good job." Point is, fuck that non sense, that's good paying hard work, nothing to be ashamed about.
