My rant for the day.



Recommended Posts

Why do people stand in line (especially the express line) and look surprised when it's time for them to pay? I'm talking their items are rung up, purchases bagged, bags put in cart by cashier, rolling total has been on display the entire time....

Why don't they have their debit cards out, cash in hand, check already started? Hell's bells! Some people don't even have their wallets out yet!!

I mean, are they surprised that they are going to have to dish out some money? Do they really have no clue that they are clogging up the works? Then they want to chit chat with the cashiers while they fumble through their stuff to find a payment method?

Seriously!

I can overlook a few extra items in the 10 items or less. I can overlook the frazzled mom toting lots of kids or a newborn. I can overlook someone who is elderly or physically disabled, but the rest of you?

WHY?!!?!!!?

you can't imagine how many people stop in for a doctor visit and say they didn't know they would have to pay their copay, SMH.

Yes or they wait until the bitter end to search for coupons....or try to pay the .99 in pennies!

I can add to that........If I end up leaving the doctors office without paying the co-pay....I snicker to myself like I won some kind of challenge.........But then later, I get all irritated when a statement shows up in the mail with a bill for the missed co-pay.

Yep.....guess I'm one of those people...... :blush:

People who still pay with checks need to be thrown out. Sorry. It's just the truth.

YES!

I seem to always get stuck behind the person who waits until everything is bagged to start digging for their check book then fill it out ever so slowly.

My soon to be ex father in law still uses checks because he absolutely refuses to use a debit card. "that's how they steal your identity" Meanwhile he has his full name, address, and phone number printed on the checks.

Girl. You are singing the song of my people. This is different, but I think you'll appreciate my rant of the day. I cross the same big intersection every day on the way to work. The light is only green for a very short period of time. If people have their $hit together, you can get maybe 10 cars through. But invariably, some idiot in front of me is looking at their phone or staring off into space and when they finally realize "omg, the light is green, look at that," they have just enough time to slip though, but I don't. Infuriating.

OMG! Do NOT get me started at people who text while driving... if they aren't trying to kill me, they are trying to slow me down. The other day I was stuck behind a guy at a red light... turned green... he's texting... I finally honk... he finally goes. VERY NEXT LIGHT... same guy... exact same sequence of events. Reminded me of a stand-up comedian I saw who said he hasn't seen a light turn green in years. He always just waits for the people behind him to honk and let him know.

Texting while driving....what could possibly be so important that you can't wait?

One time on my way home, the interesction before the entrance to my complex usually gets backed up. It takes a couple of cycles of the traffic light to get through. So I'm waiting and I can see in my rearview mirror that the guy behind me is texting. When I move forward he glances up and moves up too but since he's not paying attention almost hits me. This happens every time I move up. I move up, then stop and watch him barely look up from his phone and move up until he almost hits me.

I like the people who not only don't think they have to pay their copay at the doctor's office, but those who are totally clueless that when their deductible has not been met, they owe the full cost of the visit to the doctor's office. They are totally surprised. Like what? You think that the doctor is doing this out of the goodness of his heart? He may care very much about his patients, but he's not running a free clinic people! I as the medical biller always get that handful of people who don't pay their bills at all. Ugh. Such a nuisance!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
