I'm an adult social worker and I hear words to the tune of 'X never visits/helps because they have their own lives' many times a month.
Another popular one is 'I've worked all my life and now I have to pay, but if I'd sat on my arse my whole life / was an immigrant (etc) I'd get it all for free'.
Or another popular one, 'the GP gave me your number as my mother/father/aunt (etc) needs to go into a care home right NOW' - and 9/10 times it's a either health need not a social one or the person is nowhere near care home ready.
Tell me yours for your job, make me feel better about the Groundhog Day that my job is at the moment?
