A.M or P.M?

I went to the dentist yesterday. It was the second visit of many to come.  I will spare you the details.

 On my way out, I was given the appointment slip for my next visit. It had a date for next week and:

9:45 PM

I pointed out the time period error to the receptionist, who simply said “that’s not an error. Your appointment is in the evening”

It really shouldn’t have come as a surprise to me, especially after I heard that a judge had granted a father weekly visitation rights to see his children, who live with their mother, from 2 in the afternoon to 2 in the morning … the children are under 10 years old.  

During Ramadan, the month of fasting, one can schedule a doctor’s appointments for 1:00 am.

So, if you are in Saudi, especially in Jeddah, always confirm if the appointment is am or pm!
