I Hate Late Day Appointments

United States
August 23, 2018 9:46am CST
Guess where I'm going today...... I'm going to the dentist!!! Yup everyones favorite place next to Disneyland I like my dentist but it just makes me shudder with the thoughts of going and the work that needs to be done. What I hate more is a late day appointment so I have all day to wait, and wait and wait until the dreaded hour arrives and I can go and get it over with. My appointment is at 4:30pm. Do you like early appointments or doesn't it matter to you when you have to make an appointment with a doctor or dentist, etc.?

I detest going to the dentist, but its something that we all have to endure. I try to do it in the morning or early afternoon-when possible. I like all of my appointments in the earlier part of the day, that way if they run late there is lots of time left. I have a hair appointment this afternoon, I'm looking forward to it, even though I originally wanted a morning appointment.

I like early appointments just to get it done so I have the rest of the day to do what I want. I just hate sitting around and waiting but a later day hair appointment wouldn't bother me too much Hope you enjoyed your hair appointment. I need to make one soon

@Marilynda1225 The colouring turned out nicely. She's changing my base to blend with my white, so its a very light blonde, and then some, but less every time I go, dark low lights. But even the darkness of the low lights is lightening up from what I used to get. It just basically adds dimension and sheen because I find that my white hair is awfully dull.

@Juliaacv I bet it looks amazing! I really am thinking of having my salon professionally color my hair. Even though I do it myself I think it would look so much nicer if it was done professionally

I don't worry about things like that anymore. With me running our businesses I make appointments either first thing in the morning or later in the day

It must be nice having the ability to make appointments at your convenience

@Marilynda1225 it's not always convenient for me since many times I barely get a job done to make it in time. First thing is much easier but once they get closer to noon I need to request something toward the end of the day

@Marilynda1225 Thank you that I am not the only one that is afraid of the dentist. I have a new one and have to go to him on the same day I go to the dental hygienist so now my appointment is longer. I only like morning appointments and hate later ones.

@Marilynda1225 I have been to him already twice now. It looks like I will be spending lots of time in his office every 6 months when I visit the dental hygienist. I just do not like dentists period.

It was sort of an emergency so I had to take what they could give me. Otherwise I'd have gone earlier

Personally, because i dread going to the dentist so I prefer morning appointments or I end up overthinking, panicking and anxious and find ways to get out of going lol.

I always ask for early appointments, 8 in the morning is fine for me, or very early afternoon as first appointment. I do not like to wait.
