Today, after checking in and waiting for three hours to see the doctor, the receptionist said she forgot about me because she didn't see me. She asked me to come back tomorrow. I was sitting right in front of her. FML

Today, I went to the doctor's office for an appointment. After waiting for ages, I asked the receptionist what the delay was. Apparently, I had no standing appointment today. This is coming from the same receptionist who checked me in nearly two hours ago. FML
Today, I had a doctor's appointment. I arrived early so I could check in with the receptionists about this weird communication mixup that's caused me to miss my last two appointments. Despite what my appointment card said, I arrived to find the office closed. FML
Today, after spending almost an hour in the dentist's waiting room, watching other people get called in for their appointments, I finally lost my patience and asked the receptionist what was taking so long. I'd forgotten to sign in. FML
Today, I made an appointment with a therapist because lately I've been feeling alone and like no one cares about me. I waited at her office for about forty minutes before the receptionist informed me that she must have forgotten about the appointment. Even my therapist stands me up. FML
Today, I had two different doctor's appointments with different specialists at the same hospital. Doctor #1 kept me waiting so long doctor #2 refused to see me. I tried to explain I was in the building and why I was late, but he wouldn’t hear it. I’d already waited 4 months for these appointments. FML
Today, I walked into what I thought was my doctor’s new office building for my appointment. I sat down, only to realize five minutes later that I was sitting in a small conference room where they were holding a staff meeting, and not the waiting room I thought it was. I had to wait for the doctor's receptionist to come get me. FML
Today, I had to bring my youngest (a 3 year-old) with me to my therapist's, due to not having childcare. After waiting 10 minutes, the receptionist called me up to the desk to inform me that my therapist wouldn’t be seeing me, because of my child being there. Nothing like wasting an hour of my time. FML
Today, I went to the emergency room with my boyfriend, only to sit there for 3 hours waiting for him to be seen, then having an argument with him about how impatient I am because they never called his name. FML
Today, an interviewer kept me waiting for 20 minutes at reception, then marked me "late" in his feedback. FML
Today, where I work at a pharmacy, we were short staffed and running 4 hours behind. A lady came to drop off a new prescription. When I explained to her the wait time, she called the patient. I heard, "No, they don't look busy." Like, really? FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

the receptionist didnt wanna get in trouble im guessing. the doctor would have still seen the patient, unless all he cares about is his paycheck

Exacty, after half an hour I would've said something, the receptionist was right in front of her after all
WallyTheWombat 0
Yea I would have said something. Even if I didn't say anything, I would have demanded some kind of compensation or some kind of disciplinary action for the receptionist for not doing her job and probably lurking Facebook. It drives me crazy when I see their cellphones out next to their paperwork.
a_nutritionist 10
it drives you crazy when people have their phones out? damn, you sound like a tool. does it make it harder to pretend theyre not human, or are you just afraid of technology...
FarSide 22
lighten up people. Accidents, oversights and shit happen to everybody.
FarSide 22
What kind of compensation do you want? Canadian healthcare is free. So you will take what your government gives you, and you will like it. And any more bitching from you, and the IRS will audit your taxes. There's your compensation.
WallyTheWombat 0
No, but it drives me crazy when they are at work especially as a receptionist. They are supposed to be doing their job and creating a professional work environment, not texting. So before you call me a tool, which by the way makes you sound like a tool, read more carefully. BTW, I have 2 computers that I built myself, a laptop, Every videogame console since the NES, a kickass surround sound system for my appartment (that's right I live on my own), and I'm posting this from an iPhone. I'm hardly afraid of technology. I AM HOWEVER angered by how rude people can be today.
geeksaresexy 18
Eeew you have an iPhone :p I agree though. We're not allowed mobile phones at work because some staff ignore waiting customers to take a phone call. You're there to work not chat to your mates.
TheNewGuy03 28
141: so listing off every electronic device that you own somehow clears you from the "tool" list? hmm, makes me wonder. i better get to the store -- i owe you one! |the kid|
WallyTheWombat 0
That's hardly every electronic I own, I can also list my fridge, microwave, TV, and a lot more. He said I was afraid of technology and that's not just limited to electronics. My van is technology. It was simply a list to prove a point.

So you expect receptionists to just sit there and stare out into the waiting area when not answering the phone, hands in lap, waiting to respond in a milisecond if you require the tiniest thing? I'm definitely not saying the treatment the OP got was at all acceptable, but you come off like a giant douche about jobs you know nothing about. Do you think working as a gas station cashier is like Clerks, too? :/
geeksaresexy 18
Although you made a valid point you did make yourself look like a total tool.. 'OOO, look at me I built a PC and everything!!!' It's not hard to build a PC if you have a functioning brain.
