Just got back from a doctor's appointment, where I saw this man make a complete ass of himself.
Standard doctor's office procedure - you sign in, sit in the waiting room, they call your name, then you follow the nurse back to an exam room. Straightforward, no? Well, the exam room was half-full of people waiting patiently, when a nurse calls for "Roman", no last name. Two people get up, one was a twelve-year old boy needing stitches for a gash on his finger, another was a man of about thirty waiting for an appointment. The nurse clarifies with a last name, which narrows it down to the boy needing stitches. Holy moly, does this ever set the man off.
"What? I've been waiting forever! This punk can wait his turn! This isn't fair! This isn't fair at all!", you know, the standard whining of the petulant. The nurse is trying to tell him he's next after the boy, it'll only be a few more minutes, when Whiny Man pulls out this gem...
"But I'm older than he is! I should get to go first!"
I couldn't help it after that, I actually burst out laughing at this doofus from across the room. He whipped his head around, glared daggers at me, then turned beet-freaking-red and sat down like a good boy.
It was only another minute and a half till his name was called.
