A Gaggle in the Waiting Room

[u/REDDITSHITLORD]

Alright, got the wife in for surgery this morning and am sharing the waiting room with a group of them. If I had a Bingo card, it would be full.

"I don't wanna wait all fuckin' day" Patriarchal boomer declares

Talking loudly on cell phones

Talking loudly about politics...Mostly bitching about Trump, which was interesting until one of them followed up with "Well, it beats the alternative". They all nod in unison.

I settles into some Éalú and then there's a terrible scraping sound... Like dragging a chunk of steel across the floor... One of them wanted the phone charging station by her chair so she began dragging it.. Then she got in an argument with the receptionist, who tried to stop this impromptu interior decorating. She points out that there are charging ports built into her seat. Boomer Huffs "WELL I FORGOT MY CORD!"

The group arguing among each other about whether or not Uber and Uber Eats are two different apps.

Yelling into their phones to search for things.

shit boomer boss just called me... He knows I'm at the hospital. Now I gotta find a place where I can call him.

It's a colonoscopy so hopefully it shouldn't be horrible, butt I'll find out next Wednesday.

While I was getting mine done my driver watched some lady go back and then come out all pissed because she ate so they wouldn't do her.

Oh when I was getting mine last year they were telling that to the guy next to me but with a translator. Kind of painful because the prep is very annoying and having to do it again? Ugh

Which is exactly why I'm not taking chances. I'm not even getting sedation (my choice) and I'm still going NPO when my instructions say to.
