Pet Peeves - Things that Annoy You

It’s insanity. In my instance, the only worker nearby was standing by the touch screens to make sure everyone was paying..
Everything in this line was help yourself.. I grabbed my own pizza, drink and paid on my own… who am I tipping? Lol
Another pet peeve of mine is this cashless society we are in.. at said baseball game, no cash is allowed. For smaller purchases, a lot of times I just want to pay cash., I don’t want to swipe my card for a $10 purchase. (Not many $10 purchases at Great American BP but my point still stands)
Cashless transactions can be taxed, cash ones are not always reported. Also, information can be gained from electronic transactions not from cash ones. I think soon cards will go away as well and it will all be through the phone. Then they will have all of your information. JMO though certainly not an expert on the subject.
Same. Direct deposits and mobile deposits have made going into a bank a rarity for me.. can’t remember the last time I went inside a bank
People who don’t yield to emergency vehicles!!
Pisses me off big time!

Its the same reason they cut across three lanes of traffic, turn without using a signal, run red lights ect... Too busy and too concerned with themselves and their texts to be bothered with others.
This seems to happen at alot of places where you need appointments. What's the point of making an appointment if you cant stay on track and see me on time?
The worst are the drive-shack / top golf type places. Literally every single time we go we have a reservation and arrive on time or slightly early only to have to wait at the bar until our bay is cleared.
I think it is done purposefully to make more F&B sales honestly.
GO NOLES!!!
Let me explain something to all you complainers. A patient will call and say "I need an appoint with NoleFan because I have a sore throat." They squeeze her in tomorrow in between two longer scheduled appointments because they know I can do 3 things at once. When said sore throat comes in, they have a laundry list of issues they neglected to tell the office, and I must address said issues. So your 5 minute sore throat becomes 25 minutes of other stuff.
Now you may ask why said issues must be addressed? CYA. Patient tells their kids I am going to see NoleFan for chest pain (not sore throat), I don't address, mom dies, NoleFan gets sued. Easy as that. I can't tell her you are only here for a sore throat, go home! Although sometimes I wish I could!
So, when you make an appointment at the office, tell the staff why you are coming in. Don't say, "while I am here, I have...." That is MY pet peeve.

And neither one excuses the other, but I guess we must truly be on the lookout for drunks who are driving while using a cell phone. 😨
They won’t take cash because the employees are pocketing some of it.
I get all that but why not schedule everyone for a set amount of time say 30 minutes? If you know the average appointment (from previous data) takes 20 or 25 minutes couldn't you schedule that way? It would be better for the practitioner and the patient. BTW way I was complaining in general about appointments. I avoid the doctors office like Ebola so I don't have any real gripes in that department.
I saw one the other day with the phone mounted to the steering wheel. Cant be concerned with things like a steering wheel when you gotta get that Facebook updated.
I've had the 7am appointment with this practice and not get seen until 7:45.
I went to a Texas road house to get a gift card for someone. I got there at 3 which is when they open. There were already people waiting and the host told someone it would be a 30 minute wait. They asked why and the response was that the wait staff doesn't come in until 330.
If you really think about it 30 or an hour less a day for 10 wait staff isn't much (75 or 150 bucks a day) but add in drinks at the bar at a normally slow time and it can add up. Over a month that's a good bit of extra take.
And right below those 3 choices is the "custom" selection and a "no tip" selection. I tap the custom selection put in the tip I want and hit done. It's that easy. 🤷♂️
Nobody can run an office seeing only 16 patients a day. It is not fiscally possible.
Which is what I did. Thanks for the tip.And right below those 3 choices is the "custom" selection and a "no tip" selection. I tap the custom selection put in the tip I want and hit done. It's that easy. 🤷♂️
They would charge extra for that.
What if it’s a patient like me?
I need special attention, so please allow more time for ol itch!
I only have to see 12 patients a day. But that is medicare advantage patients, which are not fee for service. I have very few commercial, under 65 patients. The billing is totally different. Plus, there are 2 providers in my office and most offices have multiple locations. We have 13 offices under my corporate name with more coming soon.
But commercial patients, I could likely see 20-25, depending on the issues they are having. And I don't work 8 hours a day.
My vmail box is intentially full due too robocalls leaving vmail. Nobody can leave a vmail.
If somebody wants to reach me and I don't answer, they can send a text. If a collection agency or ad spammer sends a text, I have probably already blocked that number.
If its just the co pay its a bargain. I know folks that get massages on their insurance. We know what goes on at massage parlours.
As in the Champions Club trying to buy pork and beans..... It was a turbulent evening that night, my friends.
Sometimes in the car I answer spam calls by mistake. Usually its just Jane calling about my expired car warranty. Occasionally though its Ralph (with a strong Indian accent) calling to tell me my wifes ex husband is in jail and I need to bail him out. I still don't know why I get these calls as I've been married over 30 years and the dudes been dead for a long time (not 30 years). However, last time I told Ralph that I would bail him out and should I just give him my account number straight away to make things easier. He called me some names regarding elephants and their man parts. Funny stuff.
