Trivial things that annoy you Part 27

Frigga_92

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?

Can we bring in these road signs ?

Rosie Rant

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.

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)

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

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...

It was grand til I connected to the wifi in my new place. Won't even turn on now, just straight to the blue screen.

I ended up in A & E late last year with pnemonia. I spent the first night there on a trolley in the A & E Department while they tried to sort a bed for me. I have never been so sick, the pain in my chest and side was so bad I could barely move and when I did I was crying out in pain. And yet, I was put under immense pressure to move to some kind of holding lounge where they wanted me to sit in a CHAIR for up to 4 hours:rolleyes: Even lying down was a chore but to expect someone suffering with severe pneumonia to sit in a chair is disgraceful.

Short story: the HSE

MsBubbles

Vel that's horrendous

Is there a WiFi switch on the laptop, if there is try turning that off to see if the machine boots up that way.
Otherwise you'll have to try to boot in Safe Mode. Delending on your machine, you hold down one of the F buttons while the laptop is starting.

No i the GPs not pulling their weight. and is why A and E is in such trouble. Read the thread on health science that GP do not even do simple stitches because they dont know how. I have come to the conclusion that all they do is refer on and write prescriptions, grumble re being called out even when they are being heftily paid for night emergency duty and demand that elderly patient attends surgery in bad weather just so they can charge extra before issuing a repeat scrip,, try complaining and they drop you off their list and then no one wants you,:rolleyes: HSE allocate and they refuse.. I have five medical cards here now. Rant over! Go to A and E!

The dragons! Where do they train these women! Last year one countermanded the medical instructions of the dr to my detriment.

More than TA that I have constant Tinnitus in my ear today. Enough already!

What?

Waiting 3 hours for a text with my new car registration number so I can change insurance for tomorrow morning. Just a TA, as the excitement was building because it arrived a month early but as time drags on now I just wish they'd text. I keep checking the phone every few minutes in case I missed the alert and can't concentrate on chores in the meantime.

Another TA is the abysmal mobile phone coverage for a radius of 2 miles around the house.

I thought this the reg would only take a few minutes to do Jaxen Curved Shaver? If you had a spare 1000e you could have booked a number..Huge TA in our house that the cost jumped from 350 to 1000e to order a number..its robbery:mad:
Happy motoring and keep her between the ditches

I thought so too and it was very swift any other time. Hence the anxiety and TA at this stage. I'll give it another half hour and maybe give them a call but I know people are busy and it can be a TA to them if they are badgered about something they may be working on.

Aaaah!!! Turns out it's the first of a new engine and the motor tax office will take at least 24 hours to process - it would be me! - so now it will probably be Wednesday or even Thursday. Had they said Thursday this morning I would have been chuffed but building me up like that! TA indeed.

MsBubbles

Congratulations on the new car Srameen. I'm annoyed for you it's taking longer than expected.

The young one threw her hardback A3 sketch pad into my shopping bag, and now my naan breads are in pieces

TA that Srameen has a new car and I am stuck in my old one. Its just not fair.

TA that the ankle that I broke is still so swollen I can't get proper knee high boots to fit me, that will zip up over the ankle. I went up a size, my left leg floating around in it, and the zip barely would go over my ankle.

Not a hope. I drove an electric car for a few weeks about four years ago and suffered from the dreaded range anxiety.

Insignia 2 litre diesel I'm afraid.
