    Funny, that was more or less how my night started. My wife got home from work all pissed off because of some stuff going on at work (and being fair there is some messed up stuff going on at her dealership right now, it would be a helluva reality show).

      My wife is going to be pissed when she gets home. She had a doctor's appointment for 10:30, she called 10 minutes ago (11:30) and is still waiting to see the doctor. Can anyone else think of a profession where you can give such poor customer service and be able to get away with it? They make you pay up front and then hold you captive while waiting for them to get around to getting to their appointment times. I know they always run late, but an hour late this early into the morning is beyond ridiculous.

        I've never had to pay up front.

          Every doctor's office around here makes you pay the co-pay before you get seen.

            I pay after, but they'd probably charge you anyway if you left.

                  My wife was about to leave and demand her check back when I last spoke with her. I know **** happens at these places, but running an hour or more late by 10:30 in the morning is pathetic. I know it isn't necessarily the doctor's fault, it is the scheduling person's fault for overbooking him, but nonetheless that is just pathetic.

                  As for the post on cable guys being late, when Adelphia used to have the deal where they knocked $25 off your bill when they were late, we basically got them to pay off our monthly bill in one night. First he was late, we called, they said 15 minutes. Set the timer, 15 minutes went by (another $25), they again said 15 minutes, which went buy and we called (another $25) and then they said half an hour. Guess what? Half an hour goes by, we call (we're up to $100 off right now), just after they gave the discount the person showed up. No wonder they went bankrupt.

                    Cable guys are the worst. Comcast around my way used to say things like "we can come between the hours of 12-3" on a Thursday. Who has time to wait 3 hrs for a cable man to come during the middle of the workday. I hate that

                      well, they say they'll come between 12-3 and then show up at 4:30. As if the only thing we have to do is sit all around all day waiting on the cable guy, only for him to tell you that you need a new box and it'll be shipped in 4-6 weeks.

                                I'm not sure what's it like for u guys, but here if we want to take an off day because we're ill(call sick or whatever u call it), we must provide some paper from the doctor that shows that he approved ___ off-days because of illness.
