We need to make this kind of packaging a thing of the past.

Ow. I feel it.

I mean they do get rid of mistakes. You just have to keep "erasing" until you have a hole in your paper and Ta Da mistake is gone!

Grr…the pain is real

I don't see anything wrong with this picture

Yep, especially when it happens when you try to wash something that is placed above you shoulder level and the water runs from the brush and down your arm and soaks the entire sleave.

When something that's permanently attached to you gets stuck in the zipper - but that's probably more than 'mildly infuriating'

Always happens to me when I'm angry to p**s me off even more. Murphy's Law I guess

this can is cursed...must have some kind of demon in it

Didn't the "blueberries" taste a little off?

Could be worse. I've had plastic stretch wrap do that.

I've had this happen. To fix it, I pull the drawstring out entirely and tie a paperclip to one end. Then I gradually work the paperclip end through by bunching and squeezing until it comes out the other side.

I'm sure this will be an unpopular opinion, but this susally means there was an emergency. Unfortunately, medical stuff cannot always be scheduled. Then again, getting rid of Mabel and her myriad of trivial complaints takes a lot of time too.

I found out that many doctors have multiple patients come in with the same appointment time.

My wallet's gone! My wallet's gone!!

When things come up that will cause a doctor to be late, much of the patient's frustration could be alleviated by occasional updates, instead of the medical staff acting like the patient's time has no value.

I find this is a sign of a doctor who will take extra time for you in an emergency. Unless this is a regular thing it usually means another patient needs extra help.

My opinion is that if a doctor's appointment is more than an hour late then the doctor has to pay you wages for your waiting time. My worst was a three hour wait for the doctor, I timed it.

OMG yes! Appt. at 10:15am. Doc finally shows in the room at 11am-ish. 11:05am I'm out the door. Like WTH?!

Hi, Nurse here. Appointments are there so we attempt to see you in a timely manner. But most medical organizations work with insurance and bill on a 15 minute basis, which is about as much time as a doctor is supposed to spend with you before moving on to the next patient. And if there’s someone who needs extra attention (elderly people, those with disabilities, language issues, children, or maybe something happens to cause an emergency) then it’s going to result in a delay in seeing you. An hour is really long to wait and it’s probably not good to have sat there for so long without notifying someone of the time (unsure if OP had) but that would be my recommendation. And if such a long wait is unusual for your provider and the other staff, people don't take it personally or yell at us..we get overwhelmed by the constant need and that won’t help anything. :)

Overbooking too... I've been at the check in counter and two of us had the exact same appointment with the exact same doctor.

Unfortunately, since COVID - long wait times are the norm now... Try an schedule the first appointment of the day or the the first appointment following lunch break, it'll help decrease the wait time

So annoying. They charge me for being late

What I find worse is the double standard... appointment made: half hour+ wait isn't uncommon. Running late for appointment by 5 minutes: appointment automatically cancelled.

To be fair, I get a no show and I leave the slot open for half an hour wanting to see them, hoping it was just a travel blip and also hoping others come early to balance it out. I then have people present far more unwell than expected, that run well over the slot, often they have no idea how unwell they are too. It’s really difficult

I'm only willing to wait for doctors that take time for me when it's my turn.

It's usually because other patients before you were running late. The clinic I work at recently implemented a tardy policy to patients. If you're more than 15 minutes late, you have to reschedule to keep other appointments on time. Also, if you're late, the doctor will more than likely not see you for the full appointment and have you come back for a follow up.

Welcome to the U.S. !

I've waited half an hour just for them to come tell me that someone made a mistake and I wasn't even supposed to be scheduled for that day. Was also a half hour trip just to get there.

Take a Game Boy.

Unnerving. No doubt about it!

My doctor retired just before COVID. I'd been with him for over 20 years. He always apologized when he was late. Late meant 5-10 minutes. Now I have a new doctor, never apologizes and I wait 1-2 hours. It's also a walk-in and they go between appointments. I hate this system.

in Spain this is the usual

I've waited for more than an hour, but then I was waiting on a doctor who often spent over an hour on a "40 minute ' visit with me.

Work for doctors. We don't do late ((private, Knightsbridge) so genuinely f*****g ill usually. If it's NHS, 7 minutes is not enough time.

The worst feeling You wait in the lobby only to wait again for only a 5 minute session

Try to nap.

Because someone needed help more urgent than you snowflake.
