[quote user="tormadel"][quote user="pbjwilson"] <p>A lot of remember whens on this topic;</p><p>Remember when you made a phone call, with a dial phone, and the person you called would actually answer the phone, or the phone would just ring and ring.</p><p>Remember when people would actually make and keep appointments.</p><p>Remember when men would open doors for women, stand up when a woman entered a room, offered a woman a seat if none were available, and people in general basicly just had manners.</p><p>Oh yah, and train stuff cost less.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>Or if you are 5min late for a doctors appointment they will bump you. But if you arrive 15min early they will make you sit in the waiting room for an hour or more. Shouldn't we be able to charge the office for making use wait? Our time is valuable too.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>That is another reason I dont visit the doc unless there is some kind of medical problem that is not contained by home first aid. Usually something that is bleeding badly or broken will recieve priority over everyone else in the room. If you are sick and getting sicker fast and let the nurse know, they will get you in pronto... but you really need to actually be getting sicker by the minute.</p><p>Time is not valuable to anyone else but yourself.</p><p>And explain to me what is time? Sitting in the Motor Vehicle office behind 40 people waiting to renew tags? Sure it takes two hours of your time for example. What else do you have on your schedule for that day? Laundry? Dishes? Another appointment somewhere else?</p><p>In our home we do one appointment somewhere per day. That way all that day will be just for that appointment. Nothing else.</p>
