I completly agree - take the few seconds to walk the cart back to the bay! This is how people get dings in their car doors or take up parking spots ect.
This is why I love the english way of having to put a pound coin to get a cart out ans when you put it back it gives the coin back. This stops all the laziness in the parking lot.

Not to take the docs side during your well deserved rant, BUT, dermatologists do have emergent appointments, and do more than check moles all day.

(healthcare administrator here- can't really plan for anything-cause people are SO friggin self centered and unpredicatable!) Sorry, this is comment section ranting...oops.

Back to the carts, hate it when I come back from taking my cart back and find someone elses cart has dinged the front end of my car!!!! Courtesty is a thing of the past, much like handwritten thank you notes andland line telephones.

A rant well done. I would add, if the doctor is running that freaking late, have the nurse pop in and mention that they know you're still alive in the exam room.

You know you have a good doctor when they rush in and apologize for being late. I have one of those.

I went last month for my annual well woman exam and scheduled for the first appointment of the morning with the nurse practitioner. My appointment was at 830, they called me back for weighing and peeing at 845; afterwards as I was walking back to the exam room I heard her come in the front door. I'm totally shopping for a new obgyn after that.

Rude, incompetent, incompetent AND rude. In that order.
My local grocer is used to people bringing in bags so they don't screw that up too badly, but I do really get upset at people who leave shopping carts all over the place. I have a toddler in tow and I still manage to put the cart where it belongs. So it's not impossible.

Every time I am tired and tempted to leave my cart somewhere, I think of one of my best friends who is of the same opinion about how rude it is. I've never left a single cart astray ever since she walked one of mine back with a raised eyebrow. A big thank you to her and you for reminding me that common courtesy extends beyond "please" and "thank you".

I'm totally with you on the bagging, too. I sort it all into my bags as I shop and then try not to roll my eyes as they rebag it ALL WRONG.

Sorry about your doctor appointment. Irritating.

Hope today is much better than that day was!

fyi, sorry for typos. i am tired.

My two grocery cart stories. 1) At target on carpenter a lady puts bags in her cart and then puts her cart right behind my car. Meaning I have to move it to get to my trunk. She was very able to walk. I happened to walk up when she did and I asked her to please move her cart so i could please open my trunk. She was all huffy and furious acting. Loved catching her! 2) I get furious when people leave carts in handicap or "expectant mother parking". Seriously people!

All of those would piss me off as well.

All very annoying.

Whenever I have to wait for my appointment (when I'm on time) I remember that Curb Your Enthusiasm where Larry finds out that his doctor takes early arrivals first so they don't have to wait. Then he races with that girl from Hairspray down the hall to try to sign in before her.

Sadly - real life isn't funny-infuriating like that. It's just annoying -infuriating.

Oh, I heartily agree. That's why we do the majority of our grocery shopping at Trader Joe's. Not only do they encourage me to give directions on HOW I like things bagged, and often totally back off so I can do it myself (without judgement!).. they also let me enter a store gift card giveaway every time I use my own bags. AND they WALK me to my car with my grocery carts. (Yes, cartS, we have four hungry kids under 7 and even the picky eater suddenly hit a growth spurt). And somehow I always manage to get BOTH my carts back to the corral. People who think their lives are too hard for basic courtesies like that make me see red!
