…back in time to one of my older posts. This was one of my faves because I love ranting and raving. Plain and simple.
I’m dragging this one out from under the dust bunnies in the archives because I am out of town probably having an excruciatingly bad time trying to wrangle three children on a “vacation.” What a wonderful opportunity to be lazy once again. Yay! So, just know, if I don’t reply to your comments as quickly as I usually do, it’s because I’m not actually here. Duh. So, thank you in advance.

OK. Now, I can kinda understand (though it makes me crazy) my 3 and 4 year olds saying “yes maam” when they’re asked to do something and then completely ignoring me and doing something else. On the other hand, I CANNOT get a handle on grown people doing the exact same thing. When you are on medication of any kind it is usually crucial to have some on hand. Then, when you have no refills (WHY?) and contact the doctor’s office to get some, they tell you that whoever is gonna check on whatever will call you back as soon as they get off the other line. Three days and 10 or 12 phone calls later you FINALLY get to talk to the “whoever” about the “whatever” and they tell you they will do whatever it is that pertains to the situation and, lo and behold, THEY DON’T! The best part is when they leave you hanging on a Friday. What is the world coming to when people can’t exhibit common decency and manners, and furthermore when a BUSINESS cannot conduct itself in the proper manner even when it concerns the health of a patient. FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE RETURN A FRIGGIN PHONE CALL OR AT THE VERY LEAST DO WHAT YOU TELL ME YOU’RE GOING TO DO, AND IF YOU’RE NOT, PLEASE DO ME THE DECENCY OF TELLING ME “well actually Mrs. Bock, I’m not really in the mood to take care of that right now and I have every intention of blowing you off. Please let me direct you to someone who gives a damn.”

That was fun wasn’t it? I love those brisk walks down memory lane. And ranting.

Some people deserve a good slap upside the head!
I agree!
Ugh, doctors’ offices. They seem to attract the unprofessional.
Don’t they though? I wonder why that is. It seems like professionalism would be a priority when it concerns health issues…hmmm….
You are totally talking about me right now, aren’t you?? LOL that totally was me this morning bitching to my husband about my doctors office issue from last week. It was kinda crazy to read it!
Thanks for linking up. Have fun today
Great minds think alike!
I enjoyed it. 2nd Look Saturday really is a lot of fun. Thank you!
I am laughing.
Thinking that’s safe since you’re out of town and this happened a while back. My fave? “well actually Mrs. Bock, I’m not really in the mood to take care of that right now and I have every intention of blowing you off. Please let me direct you to someone who gives a damn.”
LOL – it would be awesome if everyone could be that transparent.
HOpe you are having fun & remembered to pack your lip gloss. Catie ate mine yesterday so I need to get new.
Glad to have gotten a laugh!
Actually, this is what happens every time I try to get refills on anything. Every. Time. It’s a never ending battle.
If somebody actually said that to me, in all honesty, I would probably tell them how much I appreciated their honesty and thank them. It would be nice.
Didn’t forget the lip gloss but I did forget the flask. Bummer.
We really did have a lot of fun. It wasn’t bad at all. The kids thrived on the change of environment. Weird…
