What not to do at the Doctor's office

Listen up folks, not only do servers get annoyed by people but so do doctor office coordinators!
This heads up is from my lovely friend Desiree:

Things patients do that annoy me:
1) call three-four times asking for directions....WRITE it down the first time or mapquest it
2) back up into the parking spot...you waste time doing that and you look stupid
3) show up 20 minutes late and expect you are going to get in RIGHT away
4)calll in for a refill but don't know what pharmacy you want it called into...if you want i will just make up my own pharmacy and you can find it on your own
5) act stupid
6) reach over my desk and grab something off of it
7)call me and demand to talk to the doctor...im sorry but the doctor is busy and i can leave a message for her to call you but i will not interrupt an appointment so she can get on the phone with you for you to tell her that you need a prescription refill when I can certainly do that for you!

I do appreciate a very happy cheerful patient! or at least a considerate patient that realizes I am one person sooo please stop calling me and interrupting my day bc you didnt write down the address the first 3 times I gave it to you and now you are lost.
