I had a semi-major medica...Don't you just love it? I had a semi-major medical issue over the weekend that required follow-up at a real-live doctor's office, so I called my insurance company (I'll save my complete insurance company "customer service" rant for some other time) to see what was covered, who I could go to, blah, blah, blah. The guy started yammering about stuff I didn't care about and already knew (I figured this was the easy stuff he remembered from training, and perhaps he was showing off?), and when he finally stopped talking, I did what I always do in those situations: I started my next sentence, calmly, with the word "Actually". As in, "Actually, I already know my in-network co-pay, and that I'm screwed on the Urgent Care coverage and that because I don't have dental coverage, I'm also not going to be able to hit up that oral surgeon that was recommended. I am ACTUALLY calling to ask (fill in blank)."<br /><br />And the guy (because he was a complete fucking idiot, don't get me started) had no idea what the answer to my real question was.<br /><br />Automatons. Non-thinkers. They are the people who use the word "always", and believe that just because they get a lot of calls about one thing, that EVERYBODY is calling about that one thing. It would be easier for them if that was truly the case, because it saves them from actually having to do anything or engage their brains. Talk about chronically lazy! I mean, it's one thing not to feel like doing the dishes and thinking yourself lazy, but, to be too lazy to THINK? Holy Shit! I feel so sorry for people like that--except when I get stuck with them, then I just want to jump up and down on their heads.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17392167891073936045noreply@blogger.com
