"Couldn't get drunk in a brewery. "

Turn up for in person appointment to be told that it's booked as telephone appointment. Show them the confirmation to be told that the person I've to 'see' is actually working from home so can't see me even if it were in person appointment. Get the call. She's there in the practice and would have happily seen me but I'm half way home by this. The 'Drunk in a brewery' saying comes to mind.
