This Could Be Rotterdam Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 At the doctors for the second time in a month. The first time I waited almost an hour and a half after my appointment time. Today, I learnt my lesson about turning up 10 minutes early 'just in case' but still had to rush from work to be here on time, and have been waiting for an hour so far. No problem because I know the doctor takes so long because he properly diagnoses people and doesn't rush. A woman and her 10ish year old son turned up about 20 minutes ago. He's been kicking chairs for 15 minutes, telling his mom to hurry up. She's been huffing for the last 10, just stormed up to the desk in a huff, told the receptionist she can't wait any longer because she needs to do the shopping, so the doctor will need to ring her to do a phone consultation instead. I know what I'd have said if I was the receptionist but that's why I'm not in a job dealing with the general public. I started writing this in the £10 for a doctors appointment thread but then realised how much this annoyed me so transferred it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"What's happening, fella?" I use "fella" but not to address someone directly, only in the third person - "he's a nice fella" etc. I agree with you, it somehow doesn't sound right when used in the way you described. I remember watching Arrested Development and Gob was calling someone "guy" directly (and not the name Guy). That sounded wrong too.

Morley_crosses_to_Withe Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Fella is a well known offensive slang word in military circles. Perhaps the person is purposely calling you "fella" so he can abuse you whilst you think he's just trying to be overly friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I thought fella was just mispronounceiation of the word fellow. It is by me "Alright" + mate, kid, fella, occasionally a chap or your name plus "lad" tacked on the end as in "alright Jim lad" Proper classy round here like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 It's kind of like my previous pet hate in this thread of "Cheers mate" every time you hold a door open for someone etc How about just a nod or a Thank You , we aren't acquainted so thus aren't mates at this particular juncture in time ... buy me a drink , a little dancing and who knows where things may lead , but for now It's just a door that I held open for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
