You’ve captured the particular purgatory of waiting rooms so accurately here

I love this. I'm not a fan of waiting rooms...and I especially dislike waiting for anything or anyone...waiting is torture. I'm ready to scream my eyeballs out by the time the doctor walks in the exam room to begin the routine "How are you doing?" question session, and then the brief check up. Everything is fine. I try to schedule my appointments to be the first one of the day, so it's not hanging over my head until "whenever" later in the day that might as well be forever.

Same! I hate waiting because I dislike any imposition on my time that doesn’t feel productive. I was a morning person for so long but would purposely schedule doctor’s appointments for like 1pm to give myself a half day since I knew it could be over an hour before I was seen. Any excuse to not be around toxic coworkers/supervisors was great, and afternoon doctor’s appointments were no exception lol.

Except now I have nothing but time on my hands and no need to escape from a work situation, so the waiting is a bit excessive 😆
