I can deal with the waiting-room delays; I understand that. When you're forced to book every 15 minutes, you're bound to run behind - stuff never goes as quickly or smoothly as it's supposed to.

It's just the lead-in that grates on me. I've been calling around for an hour now, and most places are booking in late October right now. One place was booking in March, and when I said it was an emergency, offered me a fit-in in January.
