  The doctor’s office when they’re an hour behind because people keep coming in late.

    I’ve had appointments at opening time and they’re still half an hour late. Doctor strolling in 15 minutes after the appointment time.

      Oh, you see an actual doctor? I haven’t seen an actual doctor in the last like 3 years, always just a physicians assistant or other nurse.

      Still get charged the dr copay though, funny how that works.

      I wouldnt be surprised if the doctor is an AI construct and theyre just running my symptoms through whatever insurance company provided AI bullshit at this point.

  At least it is free to go to the doctor

    Parking can be expensive sometimes depending on where the clinic is.

      Public transport makes parking unnecessary

  A few years ago I was heading to the major city children hospital near us for a post op follow up for my kid. GPS said it would take 1.5hrs to get there so I left 2hrs early to make sure we get parking and we’re able to get to the appointment early. Well traffic ended up being so bad it took 4hrs to get to the hospital. I called ahead of time and asked if it was ok that we still go to the appointment because we were running way later than expected. The doc office said it was fine and to just get there as soon as we could. So we got to to hospital and up to the office and they saw us right away. Well the doc gets in the room and she starts yelling at me about being late and how disrespectful it is and how us being late impacts everyone’s day. I apologized a few times as she continued to yell. Finally I said calmly “ok lady we get it. I apologized and I called ahead and your office folks said it was fine.”. Well she lost it on me after that. She said “DO NOT SCREAM AT ME OR THREATEN ME!”, then she told the nurse to call security to escort me out. I very calmly said “I did not yell. I did not threaten anyone. I simply said we understood and I don’t need to be lectured on it. It’s sounds like we all have had a stressful morning so let’s just continue with the appointment and call it a day.” And that is exactly what we did. Any followup we have had since then has been very pleasant. Just caught her on a bad day I guess.

    Better than me. I would’ve had an attitude every time I had to go back.

  They’re an hour behind schedule because everyone ahead of you was 5 minutes late.

  I had a scheduler get mad at me for being 5 mins early instead of 15. I still waited another 10 in the lobby

  Oh, your bureacracy is complicated?

  Cool, I don’t care.

  Tell how much this is gonna cost before I obtain the service.

  Can’t even come close to doing that?

  Fraud, as far I’m concerned.

    When they are late, I tell the front desk to re-schedule and leave. I’ve had the dentist complain once or twice over the years but when two entities decide on a time for a meeting, that’s the time it needs to happen. Unlike the office, I’m having to cancel stuff I would normally be doing to be there, they are not.

    Eventually I’ll be old and grumpy enough to start sending them bills for late cancellation (probably joking).

      Exactly.

      The… the norms here are bullshit, both from the PoV of ‘I am a consumer’, and also from the basic professional etiquette of ‘this is a business meeting’.

      Fuck, like… I got a statement from my insurance the other day, saying they didn’t cover 1 of the two sets of glasses I got.

      Called em.

      Do I owe you money?

      No, your optometry provider might bill you later though.

      Ah ok, cool, thanks!

      … and its been 6 months and the optometrists have yet to send me a bill.

      Not my problem!

  Cause and effect. Don’t be late

  Once, I was literally 2 minutes late. The doctor was busy talking to a nurse and only asked for me in 5 minutes, at which point he asked me why I’m almost 10 minutes late.

  I would understand this anywhere but here in America. Here, I’m paying you, motherfucker.
