The Irrelevant Start Time IV

This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. So what to do if the place you're going to (in yesterday's example, the specialist's office)seems to have no regard for start times, and it's the only place you can go within reasonable distance to get the service you need? Does the saying "you can't fight city hall" apply?
Awareness is the key. Make the office aware that by not honouring your start time, they are sending you the message that you're irrelevant.
In 90+% of the cases, the office is probably unaware of the inconvenience caused by its inability to stick to a start time schedule. Even if they are aware, they may say something to the effect that they schedule appointments every half hour to meet demand, but really need one hour per patient.
At that point, you can ask them how they would feel going to a dentist for getting a tooth pull and having to wait.
Make them aware, no matter what. At that point, you are no longer irrelevant.

Regards,
Irrelevant
