Rant

I was asking for my ultrasound results...

Radio staff: Ano yung ultrasound mo?

TPS: Thyroid and TVS.

Radio staff: Heto. [handing me my thyroid ultrasound results]

TPS: Yung TVS?

Radio staff:  Meron ka bang TVS?

TPS: Yes.

The radio staff disappeared to the next room, presumably looking for my TVS results.

Radio staff: Di mo pa ba kinukuha yung TVS results mo?

TPS: Hindi, kasi walang release ng results ng weekend, di ba? Gusto mo balikan ko na lang tomorrow, hanapin mo muna?

Without replying, she disappeared again, then returned. She handed a piece of paper to me, but she was looking shifty about it. Buti na lang ni-check ko kasi copy lang yun ng thyroid result ko.

TPS: Same lang eto ng thryroid results. 

Radio staff: Di mo pa ba kinukuha ang TVS result mo?

TPS: #@%$! OO! OO! OO! NAKUHA KO NA ANG RESULTS NG TVS KO! I AM JUST HERE TO ANNOY YOU, THE WAY YOU'RE ANNOYING ME NOW. #%#%$@%# ANG KULIT-KULIT-KULIT-KULIT MO! NAKA-ILANG TANONG KA NA KUNG KINUHA KO NA AND SINAGOT NA KITA! DO YOU THINK I'D WASTE MY TIME HERE KUNG NASA AKIN NA YUNG RESULTS?! @#$$#

Hehehehe! I didn't actually say that; it was only in my mind. But, gaaaaahhhh, how it would have satisfied me to let that one out.

A similar incident happened before, when we were still living in Laguna. I had a bag and a wallet repaired. I sent the bag and wallet via a courier and just went to the shop in Sta. Ana, Manila, to pick them up. Pagdating ko dun, okay na yun bag, but they couldn't find the wallet.

Shop owner: Di ko makita yung wallet. Sigurado kang may wallet kang pinadala?
TPS: Oho, meron. Pakitanong na lang dun sa anak nyo kasi sa kanya ko ni-address.
Hanap, hanap, hanap...
Shop owner: Di sumasagot ng text si Noli eh. Baka naman nakuha mo na? O kaya pinadala na sa iyo ni Noli?
TPS: Hindi pa ho. Usapan namin ay pi-pick-in ko dito sa shop.
Hanap, hanap, hanap...
Shop owner:  Sigurado ka bang hindi mo pa nakukukuha?
TPS: [please, pasensya, pasensya, pasensya] Hindi ko pa ho nakukuha.
Hanap, hanap, hanap...
Shop owner:  Baka naman nakuha mo na? Wala dito eh.
TPS: Ano ba?! Ilang ulit ko nang sinabing di ko pa nakukuha, tanong ka pa ng tanong? Galing pa ako ng Laguna, sa palagay nyo bibiyahe ako papunta dito para kuhanin ang wallet kung nasa akin na?!! Naiwala nyo ba yung wallet? 

And that time, I really said it. I tried to be as patient as I could, pero, wala, my patience ran thin and snapped, especially since more than an hour na kami sa shop. Long story short, dumating yung anak nya and finally nahanap nila yung wallet.

It's so frustrating when people are all too quick to wash off their stupidity from their hands and dump the dirty water on you. It especially galls me when they insist that, since they couldn't find the result, item, or what-not, I already have it. What kind of logic is that?
