They pull that clock stunt in doctor offices, too.
I dont know about other people, but it makes me more annoyed than ever. Do they really think hiding the clock makes me oblivious to how long I've been waiting in my blasted paper gown?
But I show them. The longer they keep me waiting, the more I poke around in the drawers and cupboards and play with the equipment in the room. Sometimes I'll even pocket a roll of tape or some gauze. I'm not proud of my passive-aggressive behavior, but there it is. My dirty little secret.

If you're in a paper gown...
... what do you use for a pocket...?

I'm thinking pocket means where the sun doesn't shine. Eek.

Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life... But why would I want to do a thing like that? I chose not to choose life. I chose somethin' else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who needs reasons when you've got heroin?

No no no...
I just toss it in my purse.
Not very smart, hiding things in my nether regions where the doc might find them...

I really hope that you show up at the beep bash so I can finally meet you. Just to be clear, I'm not volunteering to clear out any cobwebs, just to meet you. :-)

I just bill the clinic for my time spent waiting.
Never received a payment, but have received interesting responses.

Messing with stuff
I do that too though not at doctor's offices (my doctor visits are extremely low) but at other places where I'm forced to wait longer than I should. Like restaurants for example. I hate standing at the front like a goofball while the host/hostess is AWOL and the other waitstaff ignore me. So I start playing with the reservation book, press buttons on the phone, mucking about with the flower display, etc. It's amazing how quickly someone takes some initiative, walks over and says "May I help you?" :-p
