"I get really anxious about seeing my dentist — doubly so when it’s a new
dentist in a new city after a move.
I go to the appointment about forty-five minutes early and sit in the lobby.
“Avatar” is playing on the TV. It’s already about half done, but it’s visually
and audibly stunning on the TV and sound system installed in the office.
There’s just me and another dude sitting on the waiting couch in the lobby. I
sit on the waiting couch next to the dude, and we watch the last half of the
movie together. No one interrupts.
By the time it’s over, I’m about forty-five minutes late for my appointment. I
zoned out watching the movie.
The guy looks at the clock and then looks at me.
Guy: “Oh, s***, I was supposed to be working on your teeth! I lost track of
time… Um, you are [My Name], right?”
I affirmed that it was me. We rescheduled my appointment successfully, and I
got a post-insurance discount for my trouble."
