I’d be signing in at 11:14:58 and the doc will keep me waiting another half hour. To some Pluggers, Dr appts and funerals are pretty much their whole social life.
Why, no, rw1h – I enjoy being an Old Guy. The gray hair makes me look venerable, ;) and I no longer have to worry about whether anything I say or do strikes others as cool, or even attractive. Past a certain age, being cool or attractive is no longer even a possibility, so I can ignore both, and be whatever I like! Quite liberating, actually. :)
That was SO my mom and dad! When I became the transportation for them, if I got there 30 minutes to their house before the appointment that was 5 minutes away, they were quite upset! Esp. my mom!
I don’t know why anybody would bother being that early to a doctor’s appointment. Unless he’s the first patient of the day (which he isn’t), he’ll probably still be sitting there an hour after his appointed time!

Hope he does croak in his sleep in the waiting room as he waits.

His snoring will help others want to get well sooner.

How will we ever get doctors to respect our long time in that room with 20 year old mag’s scattered around?

^Arrive early,too. Mags or not you wait and I’m a Vet. No matter who you are one doesn’t matter…just your payment.

Punctuality is about all we pluggers have left to take pride in…….

Tour guides like pluggers, they never have to wait for them, un like the cool dudes and dudetts.
Alaska guides say the differance between a tourist and a hitchiker is about 2 minutes…
