Doctors & Solicitors, why do they think their time is more precious than anyone else's?
Wife had 9am appointment at the eye clinic this morning, we arrived at twenty to nine, the waiting room was full, the first Doctor did not arrive until 9.25 then began to complain that the other two Doctors had not turned up. Bev was called at 10.30 and was out within two minutes no apology from the Doctor or explanation as to why he was late, had he turned up on time we would not have incurred a parking charge as the first hour is free + the fact that he didn't give a stuff that he could have made me late for work.
Similar thing with a Solicitor we were once dealing with we turned up for our appointment [I had taken an hour from work so I could make the appointment in plenty of time] we got there quarter of an hour early his secretary rang through to him and told him we were there, forty minutes later he came out of his office [no clients with him] and ushered us into his office I told him how long we had been waiting and that I no longer had time to see him as I had to go back to work, his indignant response "Well Mr Kelly, my time is precious" I called him an arrogant pillock and informed him that I would not be using him and as it was our Union that organised the appointment in the first place it was likely that nobody else from our establishment would be using him, I appreciate the wonderful work that Doctors do, and the fact that sometimes we need the use of solicitors, but why the feck do some of them think they have the right to abuse your time?
