Open Wide: Unfiltered Opinions between a Dentist and her Patient23 Jun

Dumbest Things We've Ever Done at Work

Two women. Decades of work experience between them. And a collection of on-the-job stories that range from deeply relatable to genuinely unbelievable. Jenny leads with the dental school student who just decided one day to drill straight through someone's tooth — and the hygienist who cleaned so aggressively she removed an entire tooth from a patient's mouth and brought it to Jenny in her hand. Susan brings the librarian assistant era, a brief and formative stint shoveling horse stalls at a racetrack, and the management mistake almost every new boss makes without realizing it until it's too late.

Along the way there's a murder-scene exam room that had to be quietly evacuated, a wrong patient seated for the wrong procedure, two kids who left the dentist and immediately bought taffy, and a surprisingly honest conversation about why making big mistakes early is actually how you get good. This is the episode you send to anyone who's ever done something at work they hoped nobody saw. Subscribe, share it with a coworker who will immediately know exactly what you mean, and tell us in the comments — what's the dumbest thing you've ever done on the job?
