People smoking at gas pumps, then getting angry when told to put out the cigarette. So what do they do? Grind it out on the ground. Use your ashtray! You want to kill yourself, that’s fine. I don’t want to go because of someone else’s stupidity.

Sitting in doctors’ offices and listening to other patients giving staff a hard time about their insurance and referrals. It’s not up to the doctors’ offices to know every patient’s insurance policy. That is the patient’s responsibility — call the 800 number on the back of the card if you don’t know. Remember to carry your current insurance card. Thank you.
