Employee is forced to wait hours at emergency room to get a doctor's note for two sick days, doctor comes through by ensuring she gets a two weeks paid sick leave: ‘She went home with a lovely note’

Adult life is difficult in many ways, much more than we expected when we were kids. There is so much stuff going on that never even occurred to us when we were younger, sometimes it feels impossible to catch up. 

One major thing we never expected we'd have to still deal with as adults, is the need to have someone else's approval on your personal dealings. Sure, as kids, if you wanted to skip school and stay home one day, you'd have to have your parents on board with that. But you never imagine that you'd still need someone's approval to do the same when you're a grown-up. 

The same goes for being sick. When you're a kid, if you don't feel well, you tell your mom, she takes you to the doctor, and with a doctor's approval you get to stay home for a few days until you are feeling better. 

Who knew you would still have to do all of that when you are a working adult? (minus the mom part, at least).
