I use like waaay too much. But I'm also a teenage girl at heart

'innit' for the Brits

I used to say “you know” routinely. A coworker broke me of the habit by interrupting my and saying “I know” every time I said it.

Like and you know bug the **** out of me but the worst is when someone ends a sentence with so.

"I wanted to go to the store but I couldn't get off the couch, so...."

So what? Finish your god damn sentence.

Sew buttons!

"and but so in the end the escaton game was abandoned"

Hey are you off your deathbed now?

Howard,
Would you mind swinging by the Banksy thread and teaching us something?

Yes. Thanks for asking.

It's been 5 months since I had my final surgery, everything went great and I'm back to my "normal" self.

I had 1 minor scare about 2 weeks ago where my lower abdomen didn't feel right and I was concerned b/c it kind of felt like what started my whole ordeal. Then I remembered I ate some very spicy chicken tikka masala on an empty stomach.

"Good news we have an MRI appointment for you."
"Cool!"
"You free Saturday the 13th?"
"Yes. Anything you guys want."
"Okay perfect. It's at 2am at night tho."
"Not a problem. Wait... 2am at night? So you mean Saturday morning actually? Friday night going into saturday morning?"
"No. I mean Saturday night into sunday morning."
"You're sure? Saturday night into sunday morning. On the 13th."
"Yes. Write it down please. Suite XYZ. Buzzer code 123. And we will send you a text to confirm."
"You have my number? It's the same one you just called me on."
"Yes. Okay. See you then! You'll receive our text before your appointment and it'll remind you that you can only cancel 48 hours before without a fee."

Fast forward to an hour ago, Friday night into Saturday morning.

"Excuse me Mr. Zangief? Why are you missing your appointment right now?!"



I HAVE A PHOTOGRAPH OF YOUR TYPED OUT INSTRUCTIONS TO ME VERBATIM. IT SAYS SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY MORNING. I FEEL LIKE VENOM IN THE MRI ROOM AGahsdogdhsogh. OH AND YOU NEVER SENT ME A TEXT. WHEN I ASKED YOU ABOUT IT YOU JUST TOLD ME THAT YOU GUYS EMAIL YOUR CONFIRMATIONS.

Oh really?! So what's my email then?! OH that's right you don't have it because you never asked for it because you told me you do TEXT confirmations so I GOT NOTHING. AND NO CALL.

Old man shouting at a cloud.

Wow, so unsurprising that the most socially inept person on this forum sucks at something so basic as communicating when an appointment is.

Also, no one cares.

Hm.... I think even MLYLT managed to get an MRI recently.

There is only one 2am on the 13th. I would have shown up then

I have verbatim instructions contemporaneously transcribed and photographed with a time stamp. They've admitted to their mistake in not following SOP with the scheduling. I'm getting a call from their head office this morning. If they don't find me a spot I'm going after them with the regulatory board and suing for damages.

A case of mutual confusion.

Let's review the key attributes of 2am on Saturday on the 13th. It's:

- Saturday
- 2am, at night
- on the 13th.

But normal people will associate 2am on Saturday as the nightcap of Friday. So I am sure when they asked "You free Saturday the 13th?" DoctorZangief immediately thought of normal Saturday times. And then the confusion snowballed.

Saturday 2am isn't "Saturday morning" unless you are a trucker or something -- that begins at like 4am at the earliest. When they said "Saturday night into Sunday morning" they were clearly either brainfarting or making the same assumption as DoctorZangief. (Perhaps they didn't look at the calendar again.)

So both are wrong, I guess, although the receptionist is more wrong since it's, like, their job.

This is an amusing image.

If they said 2am on the 13th, you should go at 2am on the 13th. There's no need to get caught up on which day of the week it is.

LOL, don’t be even more ridiculous than you usually are.

Duty, breach and damages.

Duty is questionable. Breach is somewhat likely. You’ve omitted proximate cause, but that probably exists. Damages are nonexistent thus far in your articulation.

More generally, this is in the category of “**** happens” and reminds me of the idiot who sued his dry cleaner for millions of dollars for losing a pair of pants.

I'm glad my co-counsel agrees I have a case here. Damages haven't been realized yet but if my leg goes all Gregory House the greatest harm would be the world losing my naturally cheerful disposition.

But yeah I'm hoping the regulatory talk just gets me one of those secret MRI slots they save for party members.

If damages are not realized then you do not have a case. I also am skeptical about the scope of duty.

DZ, you are doing it wrong. Especially if you have problems with using your leg.
SMH. You should really stop behaving like a jerk at least with people on whom your health depends.

I didnt know this forum had two magicians
