  • What the.....!? (RANT ALERT!)

    Since tomorrow is a holiday, half the office staff is off and I have to pitch in and answer the phones (which is NOT my most favorite thing in the world! )

    So I get a phone call earlier this morning from a guy who wants an appointment today. I read the office policy to him about first-timers. He gets pissed off because his wife goes to us already and doesn't see why the rules apply to him. Fine. Whatever. I don't make the rules and if I don't follow them, I'm in big trouble with my bosses.

    About 15 minutes ago, the wife calls. Wants to speak with my boss. She speaks to him. Then she calls back again "to inform" me that she spoke with my boss and that her husband will be seen on Friday afternoon.

    So why is she calling back "to inform" me? If my boss, himself, wants to put her husband into the schedule, that has nothing to do with me!

    Honestly! I can't stand people like that....

    And you know what? The times she's been here she acts like she's Freaking Empress of the World. One time she came in at noontime, lied that her appointment was at that time (we don't have noon appointments!), then threw a hissy fit that "Joanne" okayed that appointment---would have been convincing except no one named "Joanne" works here! Then she tells the boss that we (the office staff) were unprofessional and she didn't appreciate being kept waiting because we made a mistake with her appointment.

    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......

        Its all about power. She needed to call you to feel in control. Some people! Take a deep breath and ignore her! She is not worth wasting any negative thoughts on!

          I don't guess you could confront the boss and ask why the rules were bent for this guy?

          I am a bit of a smart-a$$ at times, and it would probably get me into trouble, but I would ask him that and also ask if you should start doing this for everyone with that request.

          Of course, I have been let go from more than one job because of my mouth so my advice is probably not very good.

          I hear 'ya though... that would definitely piss me off.

            Yep, been there and done that when I was in the office atmosphere. I was the one who everyone sent the irrate customers to when they were out of control. Taking a walk on break is helpful to walk away the frustration and get your mind into a positive mode. I agree about ignoring her - she probably treats everyone like that.

              No advice here, either. Just know that I am piffed off for you. What an itchy B!

                Ugh, I hate situations like that. I'm sorry you have to deal with people like that! People like that are the reason I will never work another customer service job again!

                  Ha! were you sitting next to me? cuz that sounds an awful lot like my job! She just wanted you to put him on the schedule and take her word for it. " well mrs. ____, when dr. boss brings me out your paperwork to schedule your appointment, I will call you right back to set that up." Of course Dr. Boss isn't going to bring any paperwork out because she didn't talk to him.

                  (oops! I also can't read. Mrs. snooty did talk to dr. boss.)
