Post a pet peeve.

My time is the most precious though. Just so everyone knows. Ukko!!

Having a doctor's appointment at the earliest possible hour (which is usually 0825 hours or 0900 hours for me) and then still having to wait for at least ten minutes before they can see you. How can they possible be behind on schedule when you're the first patient?

I agree, its like their time is more precious than yours, and its rude

Exactly!

Hence the one hour wait by the 11:00 appointments...

Yep, once I'd been waiting for nearly two hours around that time and I was really fed up with it, especially since my actual appointment only took seven minutes Anyway, I finally changed hospitals and these days it's usually no more than ten minutes if I even have to wait; more often than not they tell me to come in when I'm merely dropping my file in the box at the door. Makes it a lot more pleasant.

Although I almost always do manage to miraculously get the day off on one of the appointments I had to make months earlier, without knowing my schedule (hence always asking for the first spot)... It's no fun to have to hurry early in the morning on your day off!

I got a 9am appointment at the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) on my first day in weeks I didn't have to get up early, so still did. Amazingly the appt. only took 15 minutes to get my license renewed, but they still must be the most unfriendly lot of people that I've dealt with.

My son is testing to get his learner's permit. Once he gets it, we have to go to the DMV for the actual photo ID, of course. Mind, he's in school and the DMV is not open week-ends or holidays. If we go in when he gets home from school, we'll be waiting until they close probably to get the ID. So even though he's not supposed to miss school unless he's sick, we have to keep him out (by the time he gets it, the school day will be half over) or wait until summer.

If they stayed open later and worked week-ends (at least Saturdays), it might be that the lines wouldn't be so long and no one would be as stressed.

Wow. Here in Ohio, the DMV doesn't do appointments for license renewals or really anything else, only for the testing necessary to getting a license in the first place. And it's open on Saturdays, at least in many locations, and also has some locations with hours that go until 6pm or later on certain days of the week. Who knew they were actually doing it right???

People who consider Fibromyalgia to be just a figment of the sufferer's mind and nothing more.

took me 3 tries to pass the driving test necessary for my permit to become a license

He's already failed it three times. Now, we're going to have to bring him to the DMV to test for his permit.

My sister failed the first driver's test because she left her permit at home. We never giver her a break for that one. I passed my first time...but barely

[SF_and_Coffee]

I passed my driver's license road test on the first try. When I told my mom, she was almost jealous, because she'd learned to drive when I was 6 years old, and had taken her test from the same guy... and he failed her on her first attempt.

Yes, I was amused at her reaction.

I passed my first time as a teen. Later, when we moved and I had to take it again, I failed the first time.
