Nor me. I love red.

I love it too (not as much as black/blue-black but close) and dont see anything wrong with it - it's other people commenting that annoys me.

On the phone

GPs receptionist: what time would you like the appointment for? We have 10.30 and 2pm available

Me: 10.30 is grand.

Receptionist: ok, you're booked in, see you at 10.30.

Me arrive at 10.30

Receptionist: there is a 45 minute wait, come back at 11.15

Me: eh, I have an appointment at 10.30?

Receptionist: *blank expression*

Me arrive back at 11.15

Receptionist: at least another 30 minute wait

Me: why do you bother taking appointments?

Receptionist: computer says no

Boom_Bap · 15-09-2014 01:10PM

I get the same appointment runaround at Temple St.

Reception: You have an appointment at 2.30. But you can come from 1.30 to take a ticket.
Me: So it's a ticket system, not an appointment system.
Reception: No it's an appointment system
Me: So I dont need to get a ticket?
Reception: No you need a ticket for your appointment

I knew all this beforehand, but was in a bit of a prIckish mood that day.

In a doctor's waiting room last week and there was a fella beside me with his foot all bandaged up. Another man comes in that half knows the first fella and sits down and asked 3 of the most inept questions you could imagine...

2nd fella: '...here to see the doctor you are...?'
1st fella with the bandaged foot: 'yeah, thats it'
2nd fella: ' hurt the foot ye did?
1st fella: ' yeah, that's it'
2nd fella: 'do you have an appointment you do?'
1st fella: yeah, that's it'...

People commenting because you decide to wear red. What is the big deal?

Being a redhead, I often get comments from people telling me that redheads shouldn't wear red. The most recent from a woman in work. It was hard to take her fashion advice considering she was at the time wearing jeans so tight her camel toe was roaring at me from the other side of the office, and a floral jacket that Liberace would have refused to wear on the grounds that it was too out there

I ate a dozen oysters last night, and only nine of them worked.

2nd fella talks like Yoda

Anyway, general rule with doctor and hospital appointments after years of waiting room observations -

Stroll in about two hours late for your appointment and you should be in seconds before your name is called.

(Otherwise you're likely to spend two hours observing other people and doing up time management scenarios in your head just to keep yourself sane... ish

)

People who quote a post but put their reply above the quoted text. Makes no logical sense for a language which is read from the top of the page down.

Fat clothes that are too fat. I never wear track suits but I have a pair of fat man pants for slobbing around the house in. When I bought them they fit me perfectly, when I wore them last they were a bit loose but when I put them on today, if I walk a couple of steps they're falling down and the bum is so baggy it looks like I have sandbags as asscheeks

I need to do less drinking and more eating.

I have a drought on me like Death Valley for a half-gallon a' porter, but I have to do the bastarding Cheeses NCT later-on at about half eight. I wouldn't mind, but I was there yesterday as well about the same time with the other yoke. Hate!! :mad:

So the evening wore on, as I alluded to above Shítheap No.1 (my Jag) trundled through the NCT not a bother, there I was expecting no drama with Shítheap No. 2 (Mrs. Goose's Citroen) when, coming back from the shop about 8:10pm I notice that I haven't a screed of a brake-light. Nothing. Zip. This is about twenty minutes before I need to set off for the NCT centre. Cue much rooting with the spare-bulb kit and tail-lamp clusters, but of course it's the switch. Not a fcukin' hope of Heath Robinsoning the thing at that hour, so I just had to cancel. Most of the following day is spent with my head in the footwell where one's feet normally reside, replacing the stupid thing. Mind you as I was at it I ended up replacing several tired-looking/broken bulbs anyway, so I suppose the episode was worth it in a sense. Still bloody annoying having to schedule another appointment for some ungodly hour of the morning, though. :mad:

I have 2 pairs of tracksuit bottoms, the fat mans type. The arse is practically down to my knees in them!! They are so comfy though

People in the office who don't put the whole packet of paper in the photocopier when it's run out, they just put a few sheets in for themselves.
Are they afraid of hurting their wrists or something with the massive weight??
Then they'll be back later annoyed that it's run out again. Well it wouldn't run out so fast if you'd just put the whole yolk in!!

Mr P and I are on a serious carb curb lately. I've been gaining lots of weight since starting a new medical thing and he's been grazing at weekends so he's not happy with himself either. I have to be weighed every 6 weeks so there's no hiding from the creeping weight gain. I've been out walking a lot and am doubling my route this week. Once you get into your 40's the body just won't let you away with the stuff it used to and you've to start doing all the crappy sensible food choices and healthy living.:(

No booze, no ciggys and very little junk food makes pumpkin a very angry bitchy pumpkin.

That does my head in. Or you add paper and next thing a flippin' hundred page (may be slightly exaggerating

) document starts to churn out. Sent to print by the lazy creature who thinks the printer loads itself, cos he certainly never does it.

I feel your pain...I put on 10 pounds in the last 3 weeks studying and trying to get assignments done. This week I'm starting afresh.

Posted before about her, but one of the receptionists in my doctor's surgery would win prizes for being rude. I'm convinced she can put an act on when the doctors are around, because they are all really nice, and I think they would pull her for the way she goes on, if they heard her.

Then I come back to my car, and my next trivial annoyance...there's twenty empty spaces in the row I'm in. Next row is empty. So where has someone parked, yes, right beside me, nice and close. Just as well the car got scraped already :mad:, last week.

Oh sounds like the receptionist at my doctor! Super nice when the doctors are there, otherwise she's a complete cow.
I went the other day and as I left I paid €60, she said you owe another €60. I said I didnt.

Her: You'll have to pay it, it's on the system, you can't just not pay for the service. Did you think it was free surgery?
Me: When was this other €60 from?
Her: It says todays date. It's for X and Y.
Me: Ive just paid you for today and I'd rather you didn't announce to everyone what I've just had done, thank you.
Her: Well it says €60 twice for today. I'm telling you what you had done, you owe €60 twice. Now will you be paying cash or card? (big bitchy smile)
Me: Ive been here once today, you've told everyone what I've done and how much it cost, and Ive just paid you for it. How can I owe another €60 from today??

Went back down to the doctor and he said she just entered it twice, she always does it. Went back out to her and she just waves at me. :mad:

This an absolute disgrace and if an internal complaint wouldn't have an impact I'd make sure I wrote on one the of those review websites. And no, I'm usually not a mean b1tch but I'm absolutely sick and tired of bad manners when it comes to gp's/consultants's secretaries/receptionists due to recent experiences.

There's 2 doctors in the surgery, the one that day is a bit of an ass too. Next time I'm there I'll be going to the other, lovely doctor and I'll mention it to him. I couldn't believe she was telling the whole waiting room what I had done. I kept saying yeah I know what I had done thanks, now everyone else does too :rolleyes:

czechlin · 15-09-2014 03:07PM

Some "genius" in work has obviously clicked on something they shouldn't have and downloaded a virus. So now everybody keeps getting various spam e-mails advising them how to find a true love or just have fun and the likes. I've been "attacked" by tips of how to lose weight for over a week. So fcuking irritating.

The fact that she was so unprofessional quite shocks me.
