Things that frustrate us all

My wife and I make it a policy to never go to a restaurant when there is less than 45 minutes left before closing. And we're efficient with our orders... we virtually always know exactly what we want before the wait staff comes to us the first time.

One of the restaurants I frequently eat at has a 'kitchen closing time' (after that, you can't order any meals any more, but possibly still order coffee and such), and a restaurant closing time, which is (I believe) 45 minutes later.
 
I'm pissed, I get that it's June and the psychiatry has a rule that everyone must take a certain amount leave of absence before July. But I had hoped the paperwork would have been sorted out by then, and there would have been communication about said paperwork.


But noooo! I had meeting with the doctor on May 14th to extend my leave of absence because it was going expire May 31st, this Monday I received a text from my colleague who's also my friend asking if I came back because he saw my name on the shift list. I was like "no, that's not possible." But then I received a mail from my health insurance saying I needed to mail my extension of my leave of absence or face a penalty.

My social worker made several calls, filed the paperwork and it's been extended with a fucking MONTH!!! Which means I have to pay another visit to the doctor for an extension till August!!! But this time I'm going to pester him until I know for certain that the paperwork is actually filed.

Most bars and pubs operate that way (at least, every one that I have ever been to), with an hour before closing time be the last call for food. Which makes sense... gives the kitchen time to prepare any last meals and clean so the place can be mostly ready for the next day by closing time.
