one time I was filling out paperwork at a medical clinic I hadn't been to before, and there was a spot for "person to notify in case of emergency." I was living with a gf at the time, and so of course I put down her name and under relationship I put "partner." The intake person looks at it and goes "oh, so just a roommate then?"
