A repuke in the waiting room.
I went to a new urologist yesterday.

My appointment was at 2:15 and I was right on time. A guy got in line behind me. His hair was uncombed, and he looked like he had slept in his clothes.

He started telling the receptionist, in a loud voice, that he had overslept his 2:00 appointment. She asked him if he worked nights. He said no, that he had the day off, so he stayed up late and slept late.

I went to sit down. The fool must have been listening to Rush in the car on his way to the doctor. He started telling the receptionist, in a loud manner, that the children were in charge, now that the Democrats had won. When she did not respond, he repeated himself.

I don't know why he started talking about the Democrats, but I got up. I told him that if he was going to badmouth Democrats, to keep his voice down. I did not want to hear it. He told me that I should join him. He was a union man and a Teamster. I told him that my husband is a Teamster and a solid Democrat. I said, "You lost. Get over it. Be. Quiet."

I glared at him until he sat down and shut up. I am long past listening to any of them bloviate while I stay quiet and polite. No more.

The receptionist gave me a radiant smile.

3. Yep the Dems are in charge now asshole!
That means you get your lazy ass up out of bed and be prompt to your appt. If you're late - too bad, the rest of the world isn't going to work around YOU anymore.

We're in charge now - that means taking RESPONSIBILITY for one's actions. No more blame on everyone else.


He sounds a bit off his rocker to be honest with you to blame the election on his problems with an appt? :shrug:

4. Are you sure he wasn't lost?
Sounds like he has a problem that would be better handled by a proctologist.

5. Is that their new catch phrase? The children are in charge?
Isn't that pwecious.
