Are some people just daft?

The text messages I received were completely clear, specifying the time; I arrived ten minutes early expecting to have difficulty parking but was waved into a space immediately. The attendant checked the time, said I could go in, I joined the queue and was processed very quickly.
Also, I did not have to pay for parking, unusual with the NHS nowadays.
A friend's husband went to a pharmacy with just a few 'patients' waiting; the medic opened the door and called next; the husband sailed in, had his injection, and thought it was very clever to have jumped the queue. With people like that, any form of organisation is disrupted.

we've been told not to go early ,arrive on time ,get taken right away and no standing outside in the cold.Thats how the flu jag worked so no reason why this should be different

That sounds badly organised. Doctor rang me yesterday at 2.30 and said can you come now?I went straight in and signed a form, walked down a corridor to his room, few health questions then the jab. Walked out the back door and had to sit in the car for 15 mins. The flu jab was done in a similar way before Christmas with no queuing.

Spot on maddyone.

I had my jab yesterday, my goodness it was efficient! Hardly any queuing and I was out within five minutes.

Are people just stupid or so self centred that they expect everyone else to make way for them.

Yes, I’m afraid they are, and this pandemic has done nothing to change that. This situation has brought out the best in some people, but the worst in many others. It’s very sad.

More arrogant than daft I would say, C, but welcome to the club of very happy jab recipients

Some people are inconsiderate and some are probably stupid.
However, not having seen the wording of the email, I hesitate to judge, as many of the communications sent by public authorities are so badly worded that anyone could make a mistake as to what they actually mean.

Quite honestly, if I was told to be somewhere for my vaccination at one o'clock I don't think I would expect to have to sit in a long queue. I would assume that those who had booked a time, ir been given one were just to park and go right in.
