At the doctor's office to go over specialist visits.
I was taught to be quiet at the office. Chatting with other people is fine, taking a phone call impossibly rude. This was before smartphones, but that also held true. If using a smartphone or should be silent. Read all you want on it, take a call or watch audible video and you die.
WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO THIS RULE. WHERE DID THE RULE GO.
At least the nurse agreed the guy watching videos full volume was insanely rude. And not in an agreeing with me way, she said it first!
Also the concept of an office having multiple doctors so someone coming in after you getting called back first infuriates people a lot. We're not seeing the same person! I'm seeing an NP, which is quick. You just said you're waiting for the doctor who owns the practice. That takes ages lol.
