This happened to me today when I went to get an MRI done; the elderly person in front of me was 15 minutes late and just droned on and on about being on the road for 2 hrs. and her caregiver getting lost and driving round and round and round. To the people who say "what's the rush, you're retired", some of plan more that ONE thing a day (rather than just go to a Doctor's appt. then home to sleep), so sometimes we are in a bit of a rush. It happens.
