I’ve never enjoyed clothes shopping but today found myself in the city so thought I’d have a brief look around. Overly friendly shop assistant “hi how are you? What are you looking for today?” Me “I’m just browsing thanks, I don’t need any help” That should have been enough. But, no! Clearly not.

The staff at your local medical Centre have no control over the fees you are charged, There is no point in arguing with the receptionist, nurse, or doctor, about this. Your fees are subsidised, but not fully. Feel free to write to the manager or the owners- but please leave the rest of us alone.

Jeesus NZ First’s Health policy is a load of BS. Half of it sounds like MAGA rubbish: reviewing nutritional guidelines, IV vitamin C & better access to (unregulated) supplements?… and then statements such as this: “Find better ways to acknowledge nurses”. Yeah, what the fuck does that even mean?

Not a proofreader in sight. And sadly, this is exactly the type of crap I’ve come to expect from Stuff. I mean, the entire article is about John Farnham and yet nobody along the way noticed the picture says a different name?
A picture of John Farnham in an article about John Farnham, the picture says “legendary Australian singer Andy Farnham”

I do get hyphenated surnames, (both parents’ names) I’m not a fan of hyphenated first names tbh- inevitably the child ends up being called just one of those names, usually the first. Just met a kid who’s got two names hyphenated, followed by two names hyphenated, followed by hyphenated surname😩

Pleased to see lots of parents booking their small children in for free flu vaccinations, and they should always be free in my opinion-for everyone at any age, because money should never be the reason that people can’t protect themselves and their children.

Your regular reminder that, if your appointment with your doctor/nurse is at a certain time, please arrive at, or preferably a few mins before, that time. And yes, sometimes you will be kept waiting because we’re running late, but if we’re running on time & you’re late, then WE’RE NOW running late!

I am as far away from our waiting room as physically possible in this building, & have my door closed. I can hear every word that a patient is saying on their phone. Why do people think this is appropriate behaviour? Literally NOBODY wants to listen to your personal conversation, mate!

Friend has returned from a family holiday, was showing me photos & commented apologetically/embarrassed that her (30+) daughter has gained lots of weight. I said “She looks lovely & looks like you’re all having a wonderful time.” Wanted to say “NEVER discuss your daughter‘s body with her or anyone”

I’m meant to be doing a three hour course for work this weekend. Ideally, I would’ve done it during my working day sometime in the last fortnight, but we’ve been so incredibly shortstaffed that I’ve been going in an hour early every day just to get through the actual days work! I’ve procrastinated

We all know that when somebody says “I’m not racist but…” it’s going to be followed by a racist statement. I just had a patient who said “I’m not racist but I was in the waiting room with two Indians, an Asian and some sort of Arab. I mean why are they letting all these people in?” 😑 My response?
