Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

Frigga_92 · 09-02-2015 11:12AM

Practically having to beg the secretary for an appointment with my GP after explaining I was rear ended on Thursday.
"You can go to the clinic, there's 3 doctors on" - oh yeah, sitting waiting for an indefinite time (usually no less than an hour) sounds fúcking ideal in my condition.
This fúcking country!!

The timing belt needs to be done on my car, going to cost between €300 and €400. Skint, so I am, that's annoying!

Sorry to hear about your accident and I hope you feel in some way better soon. The idiot who rear ended you should be made pay your medical bills. As for doctors you can never get a proper appointment when you need it, I am sick of mine.

26sdrawkscab how annoying. My surgery is the same

it's a bit much to expect you to sit for hours with a sore back

My doctor is lovely, but I could write a thread about one of the receptionists!

Everything is a big deal, I think I told this before but here goes...
I went in one day to ask for a prescription that the doctor had left at the desk for me. The receptionist started her usual, BIG SEARCH...she passes papers from hand to hand, making it look like a big deal, while you know well she has the blasted thing there, all the time.

The doctor came by, greeted me by name, and picked up the script and handed it to me. It was clearly visible to the receptionist all the time.

It's not just me, she is always slamming the phone down at people and demanding their personal details, at the desk, at the top of her voice BECAUSE SHE CAN.

Thankfully the others working there are lovely.

LynnGrace funnily enough one the receptionist in my surgery is the same as the lady in yours.
She's so rude.

Actually the receptionist in our doctors surgery is the problem as well, she is like a guard dog, you just can't get anything past her. The only thing is she keeps everything private.

We had to change our doctor a few years ago because the doctor couldn't control his secretary, she used to discuss peoples problems with other patients. I left after something which I wanted to keep private was discussed with a family member. It was more then trivially annoying at the time.

TA by a little cut on the inside of my lower lip which I can't help poking with my tongue and making it worse.

I wonder what a shrink would make of this? Why was I sad?

*Caution*

Under no circumstances get a bag of salt and vinegar crisps until fully healed.

You have been warned!

I assume because I was dead in the furkan pool! :pac:

Can we bring in these road signs ?

Rosie Rant · 09-02-2015 12:53PM

Ah poo. Just saw the downstairs flat advertised online. TA'd that we soon won't have the building to ourselves anymore. I hope they're more useful than the last guy. He moved out without saying anything about a really bad leak coming from our flat. If it hadn't leaked down to the shop underneath their flat we wouldn't have known a thing and we would most likely have gone through the fcuckin floor because of the rotting floorboards. I don't want a stalker neighbour either.

because you were doing your Leaving Cert again, nothing to do with the dismembered body in the pool

Again? No leaving cert for this kid, I was too busy working, since I was fifteen. I don't have an exam to my name.:D

From an outsiders perspective, I'll take the north side any day of the week. The bad element on the south side is worse from experience.

Yes, but at least the south side muggers will say 'please' and 'thank you'.

I have a course on the northside today, inner city. It's horrible. Flats with Christmas trees still up and sheets covering the windows, dirty yokes wandering around, like zombies. You'd stick out by not wearing tracksuits tbh. Obviously the entire northside isn't like that but where I am is like a different planet

I've eaten 7 creme eggs since Thursday and they're driving my eczema on my hands bananas. They're just so tasty and wonderful, I can't help myself.

(I haven't put on any weight though so that's good)

MsBubbles · 09-02-2015 01:55PM

Lexie no girls in pj's ?

Is it random, or when you do something in particular?
Has anything changed recently on it, updates or installed anything new?

Graces7 · 09-02-2015 02:58PM

Gas bottles that feel heavy and half full but are in fact empty. Thought it was frozen pipes but fear not... I have E4 and change in the world until the weekend and had prepared pink grapefruit for a large batch of marmalade.. now simmering to cook the peel atop the range.... thankful for the microwave too...
