    Although it’s no skin off my nose,
    people who constantly leave and come back.
    Like, all the time.
    I’m sure there’s some reason I am unaware of but geez it’s hard to keep up. 🙄

    It's time for my company's annual enrollment, meaning selecting the medical, dental and other plans we will use in 2022. My company offers 3 medical plans to pick from, good start. My problem stems from the fact I chose wrong last year, and my wife's doctor refused our 2021 insurance. To avoid this problem in 2022, I've been trying to call and find out which plan(s) all the family doctors do accept. But between the doctor's receptionists being undertrained and generally unhelpful, plus calling the insurance company to get details but getting placed on hold while shunted to some other number to be placed on hold to be shunted... I just spent two+ hours with absolutely no progress to show for it.

    I'm ultimately gonna just keep the same plan we had in 2021, as only a single doctor refused to accept it, and just pay cash for her single annual visit to see him.

    That I've fallen into the stereotypical millennial mindset of "I want it now", as I impatiently wait for a package to arrive (that I ordered yesterday).

    @nossmf Along the lines of your post, trying to sift through Medicare plans, making sense of crud they make much more difficult than it needs to be. BUT truly thankful for the people who help you through the process, simplifying it all so even *I* can understand it.

    In an attempt to avoid uncomfortable discussions and the possibility of separating members, I feel any further discussion of this should be avoided. Reguardless of how one feels perhaps a more light hearted irk can be addressed.

    My favorite is when I go out of my way to rake/sweep them all up, only to have the lawn care people for our neighborhood blow them all BACK INTO MY PORCH AREA with their leaf blowers.

    Like, c'mon.. really? :|

    The dog-walker who put the neatly tied poop bag on top of my garbage when it was sitting at the curb waiting for collection. No, the garbage dudes won't throw it on the truck. No, it's not my problem to deal with now that it's sitting at the curb where my garbage used to be.

    Mixed irk/happy
    Long story.
    Irk: VA can’t see my husband for his (insert disturbing tale with blood where it shouldn’t be) for at least three more weeks.
    Happy: I figured this would be the case when we first had to go to the ER a couple weeks ago. So I got him an appointment with a local urologist for Tuesday.

    It will cost a significant copay.
    Don’t care. We’re getting the thing done asap. And that even made the VA urology person happy, considering the circumstances.

    I'm irked that my nose doesn't work like my dogs' noses. Obviously something had visited our backyard because my pups were very excited at 4:30 this a.m. Only smell that excited me at that time, was my coffee.

    Quoting and still admiring celebrities who have chosen to end their own life.
