Took my wife to Physical Therapy today and I swear to God that the office looked exactly like the one in the following Seinfeld episode. I hope their cancellation policy is not quite as strict.
Episode 103 - The Kiss Hello
[ProFitness Physical Therapy Center]
George is at the counter with his cheque book. He's moving his wrist and lower arm, clearly much more comfortable.
GEORGE: You know, my arm feels a lot better. That Wendy really knows her stuff. (he writes out a cheque)
RECEPTIONIST: (perky) She is super. Same time tomorrow.
GEORGE: (tearing out cheque) Yeah, same time. (hands over cheque) There you go.
George heads for the door. The receptionist looks at George's cheque and finds it's not up to scratch.
RECEPTIONIST: Oh. Ah, you owe a hundred and fifty.
GEORGE: What for?
RECEPTIONIST: Well, you cancelled on Tuesday, and our policy is "twenty-four hours notice for all cancellations".
GEORGE: (agitated) Well, I, I couldn't come. I, I had to drive my mother to the chiropodist.
Wendy enters, carrying a file. She overhears.
WENDY: What's the problem?
GEORGE: (harassed) Are you aware that I'm being charged for Tuesday's appointment? I had to take my mother to the chiropodist.
WENDY: Well, I'm sorry, that's our policy.
Wendy walks out, into another room.
GEORGE: (after Wendy and to the receptionist) Oh, you have a policy! (to the world at large) The delicate genius has a policy!
George heads for the door.
RECEPTIONIST: So. Will you be here tomorrow?
GEORGE: Well, it's less than twenty-four hours, so I guess I have to!
George leaves, slamming the door behind him.
