phillybear 364 Posted April 13, 2006 FOCK OFF. Seriously. I took a vacation day yesterday, as I had a morning appointment with my endocrinologist. The drive over to his office has exhilarating as no less than 3 cars pulled out of parking lots and nearly collided with me head-on. Often times I find myself wondering how some of these mouth-breathing apes can go through a whole day without taking a dump in their pants. Simply amazing. As I settle into my seat in the semi-crowded waiting area, I soon came to realize that the doctor was running late. And no wonder, as patients were scheduled for appointments an hour before the office opened for fleecing. I was resigned to the fact of a long wait; I was also kicked myself for forgetting to bring my headphones, as long waits in a medical office are par for the course. The man sitting next to me turned to me and queried, “So, you here for the diabetes thing, huh?” I looked at him, paused for a moment to contemplate sitting in the waiting room of a specialist, and possibly being here for any other reason than the area of expertise of the specialist, and replied, “Not at all. I am pregnant with sextuplets, and I was worried about my babies’ safety.” Well, my new buddy was undeterred, and figured this was an invitation for a long, one sided conversation. Five minutes into his soliloquy on his mortgage re-financing and squabbling with his roommate over money, I realized with slowly dawning dread why this blathering but somewhat well intentioned Neanderthal seemed so familiar. He was a dead ringer for John Candy from Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Dammit, dammit, dammit. My eyes started to water from staring straight ahead at the wall, my mind was reeling from trying to recall the last time I blinked. And “John” had been talking for 45 minutes without pause, not caring that I hadn’t so much as grunted in the last 30 minutes. The doctor’s office door slowly creaked opened, and I was called in. As I happily bounded through the door, like a puppy greeting his owner as he arrives from work and opens the front door, in response to the doctor’s question, “I’ve been better”. About an hour later, I was once again reminded of the movie Planes, Trains, and Automobiles in the parking lot as I was picking John’s head up off driveway by his ears, and once again sending him face first back into speed bump. As his head bounced, a random quote from the movie reached my consciousness and subsequently my lips. I bellowed at the top of my lungs. “And by the way, you know, when you're telling these little stories? Here's a good idea - have a POINT. It makes it SO much more interesting for the listener!” Fock off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
