Minor Rant Thread - Part 9

[Dorothy rouse]

B@st@rds who dump animals in need of veterinary care, outside animal sanctuaries that have very little money themselves. I feel physically sick at something I've just seen.

Think I've seen it also, just unbelievable, so upsetting, how can people be so cruel. At least she is now being cared for and being loved. She will recover.

Doctor's receptionists. Again.

When we requested repeat scripts we we told they'd be ready yesterday. Just before went to bed, I said to the Bh 'Did you get the prescriptions today' No, he said, I wasn't allowed. WTF? Why? Well, it seems that he drove around to the surgery, struggled to get himself out of the car. At the entrance there's a big 'A' board with a sign on it saying that the Saturday Clinic is now just for prebooked appointments only. You cannot pop in to make an appointment, request a repeat prescription, or collect one and it is not a drop in clinic either (when was it ever?)

Being a bit confused by this, he went in to ask the receptionist for our repeat prescriptions. No, you can't collect them today, sorry. 'But' he says 'We were told they'd be ready today'. The virago confirms that, yes, they are ready, and no, he can't have them. So he explains that I need my meds quite urgently. Sorry, she says, it's the new rule introduced today, you can't have them.

All she had to do was reach into the little plastic tray next to her hand - the BH could see our scripts in it. She could have done that in the ten minutes she spent arguing with my husband. It was a new rule, the receptionist last Thursday didn't know about it, or she probably wouldn't have said come back Saturday. She could have handed over the scripts and asked us to abide by the new rule next time.

I have fired off a stiff email to the practice manager.

For Heaven's sake.....

People who dump any defenceless animal full stop or who feel free, once the novelty has worn off, to absolve themselves of any and all responsibility.
Also chest infections caught when trying to rehome said poor animals.
People who tell you one thing knowing that they are lying and will only cause an already defeated woman to feel further browbeaten.

Dogs that ignore the dog chew and go for gnawing the cat's scratching post and the furniture instead.

If your Fax machine packs in, by all means borrow mine but either leave me a note or send an email instead of me coming into work to report a theft...........numptys.

Okay, so I send OH into a local convenience store to drop off a parcel to be delivered by a well-known delivery company. He comes out and tells me the store doesn't take parcels for this company, despite being listed on their website as a drop-off point. I get out of the car, walk into the store past the big sign advertising the service to be told that both staff are new and haven't been trained to book parcels in. Okay, that's not their fault but why not just say that in the first place?

On one of those posh family & friends shopping experience evenings at the DD's place last night - an uber expensive garden centre - do not barge into a conversation that I'm having with the DD's bosses, to whom I have only just been introduced and exclaim loudly 'What are YOU doing here?' in a tone which suggests I have crawled out from under a stone.

Neither should you look at the trolley, piled high with goodies, that is standing next to me and say 'I don't think YOU can afford any of that!' because a) What I buy is my business, as is my financial situation and, b) YOU looked incredibly foolish when the actual owner of the trolley turned up to collect it.

Also, we used your title out of politeness, so when you have just been introduced as my husband's great aunt, and my daughter's great great aunt, you shouldn't be offended because that's exactly who you are - you are married to the great uncle. My future SinL was not impressed when you fawned all over him, simpering about being 'Not quite 49 yet....' and I know just how old you are, you're 15 years older than me and I'm not quite 48 yet.......

Oh, and white fur looks utterly revolting when you have coughed up red wine all over it. I told you the mulled 'wine' was boiling hot and that it tasted like over-sweetened vinegar. You should have listened and not taken a huge, inelegant, mouthful.

^^ Hahahahahaha! Karma. Sorry, is this supposed to be the 'Rant' thread?

Yesterday, bought anew washing up bowl for kitchen sink, and it just won't fit! But how daft am I, turned it round, thus way, that way and still won't fit ! Why aren't they standard size?

Just now cleaned my car, why aren't my arms long enough to reach the bit on the roof ? Just cannot manage it!
