The wrong day

This is so embarrassing, I missed one of my exams too once. The problem was that the teachers were rearranging the exam schedule. I forgot to apply again for the exam and change the date, which happened to be on the same day as another exam. I was able to talk to the teacher - on the day of the exam, so I was so ashamed - and he allowed me to go a few days later, which was the next date for our exams. I think I was lucky. About dental appointments... I never missed any, but it happened that I got the date of the appointment like four months earlier. When I arrived, I got to know that the dentist didn't even work that day, but I was never told.

Oh no, my dentist is really good at not only sending out a reminder in the mail, but they call the day before to remind us of an appointment. So I never missed any or was late to any dental appointments.

The doctor or dentist etc are not always right about missed appointments. I missed one because the doctor's office messed up on the date. They had given me a small appointment card with time and date on it. When I got there they argued I was two days late and I had to reschedule and pay them for the missed day. I showed them the appointment card the receptionist had given me and said this is my appointment date written in your own hand you gave me. It was that day I was not late. The got mad and said well I still had to reschedule and pay for the day they were sure I had missed. I told them. No it was their mistake and I live 42 miles away fit me in. They did not want to but I said then I will go home and call my attorney general and the Better Business and file complaints because I have proof you wrote the wrong day in your book. You wrote today's date on the card you gave me. The fault is your's not mine. Finally they decided to fit me in. I had to wait two hours. Which caused me to not get several other things I needed to do that day. I showed the doctor the card and he went and told the staff that they needed to be more efficient because it was not the first time they messed up. Finally the one woman got fired she kept messing up appointments with a lot of patients writing down the wrong time or day she was rude as well. The clinic fired her from so many complaints.

Porco, how are you? Have you receive the email which i send to you a month ago through gmail? I ever came across a few times, remembering wrong dates for my exam, interview and even for my dental check-up. I had accidentally marked wrong date on the calendar for my exam. Lucky that one of my friends had called me up to remind me. It is lucky that i still managed to reach the exam hall, in the very last few hours. As for my interview, i came to the company for interview, 2 days earlier. It makes the secretary surprised and asked her boss whether allowed me to have an early interview. I was lucky that the boss is free and ended-up had my interview changed to 2 days earlier. I had managed to get that job and worked for them for a few years.As for my dental check-up, it is really unlucky for me. Because i had missed out the date a week ago. When i called the dental clinic, the nurse was very angry and didn't want to accept my apologized. So, i ended-up need to change to another different dental clinic for my dental appointment.

To be honest I never miss any meetings or exams, I have to make sure everything will be on schedule then or else I will be having a hard time catching up another time and that would cause me trouble for my day to have many tasks and I cannot do other things if that would happen.

i don't remember having that kind of experience. but i was in a bad situation where i got very angry with the staff of a skin clinic. they sent me an sms telling me that i have an appointment on that day instead. so i immediately travel to go to the skin clinic (which was more than an hour trip by road from where i live). when i got there, i waited for about an hour and when i finally got the chance to be entertained by the woman on desk, she told me that she mistakenly switched the text to another client.grrr. i was really mad at her. anyway, i can't do much anything about it so they just rescheduled me.

Missing of an appointment or exam has never happened, but sometimes very narrowly I miss my friends or relatives birthdays. Usually I am trying to remember the date before one or two days, but something happens that on the specific day it does not come to me that I was trying to remember this very birthday. Now I have started writing down and keep my reminder register near me.

I never missed appointmentbut did cancel one. I cancled my eye dr appointment one time when my daughter was in labor. I wanted to be at the hospital with her. Thats the only time I missed appointment. When I have a dr dentist or what ever else I usually lay out my appointment card on the table so I can see it the next day.This way I dont forget.

Your friend indeed mixed her days up and went on the wrong day to her dental appointment. My brain was a bit foggy in pregnancy. One time I thought my disabled son had an appointment at the children's hospital in the center of the city. It is 20 miles away from our home. I took him up there by train and bus. When I went to the children's hospital I had the surprise the appointment was at French Hay which is way to the north of the city. I phoned the consultant and said sorry. He was quite rude and said don't bother getting a taxi over there. It was 10.40 and the appointment was 11.00 so I thought that he was unreasonable. I would have hated to mix up the days as a student and miss an exam. I was very clear about my exam timetable. These days my disabled son has so many different appointments that it is very easy to get confused about it all.

Hello Porcospino, So far I have not missed any appointment or exam or any other important event because of the wrong information or wrong date. But I heard from one of my friend an incident; somebody booked the train ticket to both way (to go somewhere and return too). The clerk in the railway station booked tickets for the same day, means the travel journey date and return date on the same date. They filled the form for retuning after one month. But the clerk made both tickets for the same day. (just imagine the mistake, how they can return the same day when the travel distance is long for three days). Unfortunately they didn’t check the date and month correctly. After one month they boarded the train to return and find that some other people were sitting in their reserved seats. They started to argue with them, the ticket examiner also came he too could not find what went wrong. Then he contacted the head office, where he got information that one of the ticket was for a date before one month. They get down from the train in next station and catch another train and they traveled in general compartment for 3 days. They lost the money and could not traveled comfortably, just for a simple mistake.

Funny, I had that experience today. I was late so I rushed over to the review center where I was reviewing then I asked them if I am still allowed to attend the review because I was late. Then they told me that there was no pm session. :D Meaning I missed the AM session and when to the wrong schedule. It was my fault so I did not get angry, it was embarrassing.

i am so afraid i will miss the exam. i always miss some appointments.The best way i deal with this problem is that i prepare a small notebook in my bag every. everynight i write down what i should do tommorrow and everymorning, i check my notebook. after a month,it becomes my habit.so i do not miss any appoitment any more. maybe you can try in this way. there is an old going in china "GOOD MEMORY IS NOT AS GOOD AS WRITE DOWN".
