You must be BEAUTIFUL because....

they sure didn't hire you for your brains!

I just called the Ortho Dr's office my regualr Dr. referred me to. Here is the conversation

Me: I was referred my Dr. Yadayadayada and need to schedule a new patient appointment.

Her: What insurance

Me: Aetna

Her: Is it for you?

Me: Yes (I already said that but whatever)

Her: Have you been here before?

Me: Ummm, no. (If I had been there before would I be a new patient????)

Her: Hold!

After holding for a few minutes she comes back and asks for my address, etc. It took 4 TIMES of spelling my name for her to get it right. Granted, my name is spelled differently that most (Tricia) but 4 times?? It took 3 TIMES of spelling my street name. I live on Beaver Lane, she asked if it was spelled b-i-v-e-r, that aws AFTER asking if I meant Beaver like the animal. Don't they teach that in like 3rd grade or something? This was the most excrutiating conversation I have had in quite some time.

I am almost scared to go to this appointment. If the Dr. is as smart as his receptionist, he might end up removing my gall bladder to cure my knee pain.

I DID go to an auto parts store for blinker fluid! Granted it was in high school, but I did it. The guys got a real good laugh.

[justme23]

Well... atleast she was nice to you! I have to put the receptionist at my drs in check every now and then... I don't care if you don't wanna be bubbly, but don't be rude either!

I think I met that woman's mother once:
:D

I had taken one of my minature goats to the vet, I walked in with him on a lease and came up to the counter to sign in. Now my goat was Louie, great big horns, long black and white hair, beard and 100 percent billy goat smell. An older woman standing at the counter looked at him and asked "Is that a baby goat?" I looked at her for a second and then explained he was a minature goat, about a year old. "Oh," she said and nodded, "Is that a dog?"
A guy on the other side of her laughed and said, "Oh, yeah lady, first dog I ever saw with horns!"

Just think: People like that actually drive on the same roads we do! (shudder)
