I hate it when I do stupid things... Today for example..

So, I had a rib or something out of place a wee bit so my mum called the chiropractor for me. I hadn't been there for at least a year and so I'd gotten it all muddled up in my mind which one it was that I was supposed to go to. So instead of going to the one that my appointment was at, I went to the one that we used to go to.. when I was like 8.. So I get there and of course they didn't have an appointment for me or anything, but the receptionist just said it probably didn't get entered into the computer and I should go on in. And since I used to go there they've got a file for me, so I figured it was probably where I was supposed to be.

So, before I can get my poor, aching back fixed, I had to go and fill out about 12 different pages of paperwork because I hadn't been there for a long time and they wanted to update my file and all that. So I finally get through all of the STUPID and POINTLESS forms and then I'm told that I get to have someone do some test to measure the temperature on either side of my spine and muscle conductivity or something and should put on one of those gowns over there. OH GOODY! I JUST LOVE GOWNS!!!

So when that was all finished (this of course is after I've been there for AN HOUR) the chiropractor comes in, spends like 3 seconds cracking my back and I'm done. YOU COULDN'T HAVE JUST DONE THAT AND SKIPPED THE PAPERWORK?!!?!

So then I go back out to the receptionist and she tells me it's going to be 35$ for the re-evaluation as opposed to the 8$ that the guy had told my mum when she'd made my appointment. So I pay and then go back out to my car. At that time I called my mum to double check that I had gone to the right place. No. I definitely had NOT. So I kept her on the phone and took it back inside to the receptionist and my mum talked to her and I got my money back (HA! Outsmarted those sneaky chiropractors) and then I went back home, head hung low in stupidity.

So, I suppose on the bright side I got a free re-evaluation AND adjustment, however.. it came at the price of the small amount of pride and dignity that I've got. And it is rather small.

And a couple times when I'd first walked in, I'd almost called my mum to ask if I had indeed gone to the right place, but every time I was just about to press the call button on my phone, the receptionist would say something, or the chiropractor would and I'd get distracted and not call her. Grrrr. It's too bad I hadn't or I could have skipped the whole mess. Grrrr indeed. I hate being dumb.
