Title: SMS reminders
Post by: Pastis on February 07, 2012, 05:20:33 PM
If I make an appointment it goes in the diary. Sometimes it gets copied on to iCal, but the long and the short of it is that I know, and keep it. If, for some reason I'm unable to make it I let them know in advance. Perhaps I'm turning out to be a collateral hit targeted at those who can't be @rsed to keep their appointments and this is the reason for the SMS Reminder.
I get them from the Doc, the Dentist and now, today, another "agency" wants my mobile number to send a reminder ...  evil:
I know, I know, I should have said that I don't possess a mobile phone  noooo:

Where's it going to end? SMS reminders from everyone you deal with ... ?

"This is a reminder from your wife that you have an appointment with her of a sexual nature at 10:30pm tomorrow. Please call or text back if you unable to make it"   eeek:

Agreed ~ Most irksome!

I get them all the time ~ the Dentist tells me it is to try to cut down on missed appointments that cost money.

Best to date went as follows.

"Message to Mr Snoopy - You have a dental appointment tomorrow at 3.15"


So I rang them and said "No I don't, I was only there last week"

Receptionist "We have you down for tomorrow at 3.15 ...... This is Mr Snoopy Minimus isn't it?"

Me: "No, he's my son"

Receptionist "Oh well I can't discuss it with you because of data protection, can I speak to him?"

Me: "But he is only ten!"

Receptionist: "It's still the LAW"

Me "Fvck off"

I think SMS remiders are a wonderful thing.
When you all have memories as bad as mine you will also be thankful for them.  redface:

But which one?  Confusion has been known to reign in the bucket head household if I recall correctly.

I find the SMS messages and land line reminders useful.  I rue the day that I made an enquirey to the local private gym.  I get messages daily telling me that the specially discounted joining fee is going to end soon. evil:
