790: In It for Life

[Keith]

"Hey, sorry. My bad. I'm out. We're done."

I didn't realise the cruise you went on was the imagination. My girl friend who i live with here in the UK worked as a masseuse for that company for 9 months.
They took her passport away so she couldn't just leave and come home and if she filed officially to come home and terminate her contract she would have to pay the £2000 ($3724) for the training they gave her.
She hated working on that ship and i can image why you guys got pissed off with the retarded staff. Damned philpinos kept trying to get with her even though she said she had a boyfriend back home and even when she got back home to England one of the tards some how got a hold of her home number and kept badgering her by calling at like 4 in the morning. Apparently philipino men cant grasp the concept of time difference.
Anyway made me laugh

Keith,
So basically, we should only confront people when there is a possibility it could turn into a physical fight and we are fully clothed? If people are treating us like shit (a receptionist for instance) over the phone, we should just ignore it as it won't do any good and other people probably complained.

Your excuses for not confronting the receptionist sound just like the excuses people used for not thinking it was a good idea to tackle the crazy man on the bus.

Knife weilding maniacs vs. cunty receptionists.

Your day gets rooned either way. Meh.

No, pussy, I'm saying to absolutely do something to the receptionist. I said: take items off her desk one at a time and toss them on her lap as you tell her how she needs to be nice. Just don't think you can use that doctor's office again.

Also don't think that you and the Greyhound Killer can be friends.

That's not the part I head. I heard (paraphrasing) "it wouldn't do any good"..."other people probably already complained"...
I may not be up to the quote from above yet, but I thought the receptionist part of the conversation was over. I doubt the tossing desk items method would be effective.

Also don't think that you and the Greyhound Killer can be friends.

What? That is way out of left field.

Yes. Because every opinion only exists to counter its complete opposite, and life is not lived situationally, but only by a stringent group of extremely broad standards that if not met completely, deserve a cry of hypocrisy.

edit -- (In case you're retarded, that is sarcasm.)

You are a dumbfuck, and browsing through your post history supports this claim.

I have two children with special needs and I have been to too many doctors over the past years. The receptionists are always little snot faces and I do wish I could punch them in their smug faces but they do control future appointments, insurance info, your ability to get messages to and from your doctor and whatever other power they hold that feeds the ego trip they have.


When my daughter was only a couple months old, she had to see yet another specialist to try and get a diagnosis for her. The office was in a semi basement in Rye, NY. The waiting room was standing room only and we were lucky to get a seat . As I filled out all her papers more and more people came into the office and would just shrugg and stand there. I wondered if this was normal for this place.

More and more people filed into this office -- some people would be able to go right into the back and the waiting room really started to grumble. One by one people would get up and ask when they were going to get called and asked why someone else got called that arrived after them. I was in that waiting room for almost an hour just rocking my girl and trying to ease her gas pains and hoping she wouldnt cry anymore. THe people going into the "back" (the secret nirvana, where you wind up waiting again anyway) were pissing me off but I was just trying to keep my cool and not feed into the insanity.

Eventually one of the receptionists came out of her little box and stepped into the waiting room and said in a very snotty and tense tone "I dont want anyone else to come up here and ask when they are next. There are things going on back here that you do not know about -- some people might be seeing different doctors than you are - so DO NOT COME UP AND ASK AGAIN!" and backed up through the door and let it slam.

Everyone in the waiting room was sitting there with mouths open kinda glancing around the room looking at each other. Complete silence overtook the room -- even my daughter was quiet. We all just couldnt believe she did that. I broke the silence by saying to the whole room "I dare someone to go up there and ask if they are next".

Most people laughed at that comment and it did make me feel better to laugh over it. Later on when I had to pay $450 for the visit and xrays (since this doctor didnt take our insurance ) she was so snotty and grabby with my check and shoving my bill back at me. I was as pleasant as can be -- very polite and smiling and having a nice day pleasant. I wanted to kill her with kindness.

I did continue to take my daughter to this doctor for the next couple of years and dealt with the snottyness of the front desk people. He came highly recommended and I did mention it to him everytime I went there with my girl. After a while it really affected how I looked at this doctor and when he suggested surgery for my then two year old -- there was no way I could trust her with him. We now go to a well respected surgeon in NYC and his front desk person is a bit cold and never EVER smiles but I can handle that because she of course holds all the power.
