And, if you do leave before you are supposed to, you'll just have to go back to that same waiting room and start all over again. There are some waiting rooms where you really don't mind spending the day. The dentist's office is one of them. I don't know anyone who is glad when their name is called so they can leave the waiting room and visit with the dentist. Anything would be better than having your name called, except for the dentist's office.
Kids are fun to watch in waiting rooms.
We all know how patient children are, and we can all learn a great deal of waiting room etiquette by watching those darling little humans. Maybe if we acted more like children we wouldn't have to wait so long next time we visit the doctor. Speaking of doctor's waiting rooms, I think it would be a good idea if the doctors installed washing machines and clothes dryers in their waiting rooms. You know, make it like a little Laundromat. Goodness knows we're in there long enough to do a week's laundry for a family of five.
