We certainly opened a can of worms with the first part of this series, which chronicled everything from a family member who snuck in cats to visit his asthmatic mother to a husband who fell asleep in the patient’s bed while she was in the bathroom.

Here are 10 more patient visitor antics that are too good not to be true.

10. The girlfriend who came to visit her boyfriend with her little girl. She left her daughter with her boyfriend (the patient) while she went shopping.

9. The girlfriend who comes and stays over and thinks what she’s “got” is better than what we’re doing for the boyfriend…wink, wink…ALL NIGHT LONG!

8. Visitors who eat in front of patients who are “NPO” have BAD MANNERS! Some people just weren’t raised right!

3. The family member who was trying to feed her unconscious family member because it had been hours since he last ate. And he needed nutrition to get better.
