The Incongruity Of Life
16 Answers
After getting the time of my ECG wrong and being told I had to be booked back in for next Friday I suggested to LordMG that we pop into one of the Olde Worlde pubs in the village.
By the time we got home neither of us felt like prepping dinner so OH got the Chinese Menu out.
On the Chinese menu there is a special section called "English Dishes". The first item under said sub-menu is "Spanish Omelette".
Well it tickled us!
What disparities have tickled you lately?

Even ketchup and an extra pint of Tropical couldn't save the day.

I got the time of my appointment wrong, PP. I thought my appointment was at 17:40 but it was at 17:20. I got there at 17:35 and was told I was "half an hour late."
I pointed out that 17:20 to 17:35 was in fact 15 minutes but it wouldn't compute. I'm afraid the light was on but there was nobody home. Now I have to wait another week for my ECG.

i can't understand that, if i were 15 minutes late for a procedure like a ECG i am pretty sure i would still be seen. Perhaps the capital's hospitals are different. one can't always for whatever reason be on time. I was late for a MRI scan because of patient transport who were very late picking me up, and subsequently i got there about half an hour after my appointment time, i explained and they did the scan
At my GP, if you're 15 minutes late then that's still about half an hour before they're ready to see you. Recently I had the first appointment of the day, was there five minutes early and was called in fifteen minutes late. The doctor had been there the whole time. She must have picked up on my carefully hidden disappointment, because she said "Your appointment started on time, I've just been going through your notes"!
