While sitting in a doctors waiting room today I learned many things from several right wing nut jobs. I was outnumbered so regretfully I didnt correct them. Yall just wouldnt believe the garbage they were spewing. First off one said they wished Trump was still President because he did so much for this country. Also there was so much cheating in the 2020 election. Of course Trump won. One said Biden wouldnt be around in two years. I guess his age. Oh and they sure didnt want Kamala to be President. She is so silly. Something was said if they could go to the White House there wouldnt be anyone left. Take what you can from that statement. There was so much more said and by that time I wanted to jump up and tell them to shut the f up. Oh and the Hillary Clinton of today is not really the real Hillary. they did a body switch I guess. And guns. Got a good education about that subject. They want to take our guns. One said if he wanted to take a AR 15 in Walmart he could. Theres more. One said he was a democrat until 2016. Now hes a republican. Oh and God is going to punish this country for all thats going on. My appointment was at 8:15 and it was an hour and a half before I got called back. They think democrats are ungodly but boy was I praying for the Lord to save me from these idiots. I could go on but Im exhausted. Yall get my drift.

(24,906 posts)but I don't sit in waiting rooms anymore. I give them my phone number and wait in the car until they are ready for me, then they can call me. The doctors around here started doing this because of Covid, but I liked it and I will keep doing it. It suits me just fine.

(862 posts)I was there for a colonoscopy. My poor hubby sat there with me until I went back. I told him he could go out to the car so he wouldnt have to listen to them but he didnt want to leave me. He did go out while I was having the procedure. He was as frustrated as I was. Why cant people just sit there quietly. This was the first time Ive experienced this with a group of nuts

(862 posts)I love the state but today hate I ran into a group of very misinformed people. We live in Tennessee but use docs there
We enjoyed Mississippi. 60 miles from the French Quarter didnt detract. But hate without foundation is irrelevant. Misinformation is a conservative value. All the best to you teammate.

(862 posts)We dont get out much either but had to get this procedure done. It was like a slap in the face. Its just hard to believe people are so stupid.

Or you could sell some conservative calling cards to help with the expense.

They checked all the options today and more

(37,651 posts)You could make a few bucks selling those. Ill take a dozen.

(25,332 posts)Id rather sell some of my fabulous photographs, nicely printed and framed, but I suspect that the cards would sell better. All are welcome to print up and sell.

(25,332 posts)I am thinking of setting up a gallery, including some of my Dad's paintings.
I appreciate your idea and interest. I'll share more about the project as it moves forward.
