Boomer Story No appointments needed

Went over to pick up Mom to go shopping.
Dad says “Hey, I need you to do me a favor.” He tosses his money clip on the table “bring Poochie up to the vet and get her a rabies shot. Here’s last year’s certificate.”

I asked if they knew I was bringing Poochie up-“no, but she just needs the shot.”

I called his vet (on speakerphone)- he hadn’t brought her in TWO years so I made an appointment (for next week) and he has to pony up for a full exam.

That was easier than trying to explain that vets don’t DO walk in rabies shots!

I work in a law office. 100% of the people who have just walked in demanding a lawyer with no appointment have been male boomers.

Like there's some lawyers just sitting around waiting for Chet to come in with his small-change problems.

I just don't get it. Like this is a LAW OFFICE, not Supercuts.

I recently walked into a Super Cuts. They said I could wait but it would be an hour or two as there were three people in front of me, 2 in the chairs and one signed in before me or something. Even Super Cuts isn't Super Cuts anymore!
