Shit that annoys you

[Harry]

Oregon has entered the chat.

And not glasses, but my windshield has an edge to edge meandering vertical crack right in front of the driver. There is no angle that doesn't catch the sun. And I have a high(ish) deductible.

So get a new windshield you cheapskate !

Windshields for most common cars are only around $200-$250.

What sort of vehicle? 'Round here windshields are actually pretty cheap IME.

Tesla Model 3's are a $1000, just throwing it out there randomly....

It's a 5th gen 4Runner with the heating element. I want OEM (which is made by AGC/Pilkington) and the Toyota Tax is high here, so just the glass will be over $700. Ancillary parts, labor, and tax will push that north of $1k. But my insurance will want to go the cheap route.

I am teaching a class this semester, and the registrar's office tells me that I can either get the final exams emailed to me or pick up printed copies from the school, but not both. That's annoying.

Print them off at home?

This is the shit that annoys you thread, not the try and fix your problems thread.

Yes, I am aware I can do that. But I have a rinky dink home printer and it could easily be 100-150 pages of printing, if not more. I'd rather get them emailed so I can start grading ASAP but be able to later stop by the school to pick up the printed copies. But no can do, which annoys me.

How does email cost them anything, FFS?!

It costs them time, I guess, or at least that's the excuse I was given. "Due to the high volume of exams, we are only able to do one or the other"

But if you are on a computer, with files that you are printing, it would seem to me an inconsequential step to also hit "send". ButIamnotaregistrar.

Don't most insurance policies waive the deductible for glass?

[Danno]

I don't think USAA does

What year is it? Have the glass shop (not safelite please) request OEM. Otherwise ask for Pilkington or Fuyao. Pilkington makes the oem for toyota anyway. There really isnt too much of a difference. And if anything, you could pay the difference in cost to the shop if you insist on OEM. Around here, no one really cares because glass breaks yearly.

It depends on a lot of factors. State, policy, deductible, etc.. But no, they don't usually waive the deductible unless you have a supplemental glass insurance, which is totally worth it in states like CO. They will waive it for chip repairs though.

And Utah. We have in on our policy. We both get a new windshield every two years for $0 out of pocket. We could do it yearly but they’ll raise rates on us. It’s mostly it’s sandblasting, and you’ll know when you need new glass as you head west during sunset. Speaking of which I’m due.

Urgent care is anything but urgent and prescriptions that call for dosing every six hours so you have to get up in the middle of the night.

[MakersTeleMark]

Hope you aren't too banged up, but I am also sure you know how to safely dose yourself so that you don't have to follow the exact schedule.

Got a 2mm scratch on my sclera which hurts like a sonofabitch.

Last drops were at 7pm so anyway I look at it (no pun intended) I'm taking the next ones in the middle of the night. Too tired to stay up. Lights out after I hit send. We'll see if I wake up at 1am.

Curious who your insurance company is. I'm currently shopping for a new one.

State Farm did not when I was with them. I fixed the first one and let it go after that. Fortunately none of them spidered on me.

With AAA now and will soon find out as I just got noticed a small chip.

Oof, I've been there a few times. I thought you were talking other drugs for other things. Heal up.

Like I said, it is different by state, and insurance company. Here in CO you can buy cheap glass insurance through State Farm and they are one of the better ones for it.

State Farm. Been with them for 34 years now.

On a related note my wife and I recently called to book appointments for a GP because neither of us has a regular doctor and hadn't seen one in years (for me decades). The earliest we could get in was October.

Oh yeah, I tried to schedule a physical with my doc last month and couldn't get in till Sept. And for the first time ever I have a regular primary care physician for a few year straight and now the insurance has decided that my PCP is out of network. WTF?

[frorider]

US wastes $300 billion annually on what are considered unnecessary administrative costs. Yesterday I found out (I was not notified of course) that my PCP was moving a few miles down the road & would temporarily not be In Network. Doc’s office and insurer tried to use me as a go-between to get the doc’s move documented. I said I’m not an employee. My insurer has two separate data bases on GP and Specialist docs I can select who are in-network. The data base on their site listed docs who no longer even worked in our region. Insurer’s CS dept quickly admitted this was a known problem, but their internal database was ‘regularly updated’. I said ok fine list some names for me with that specialty. She found 3 names on this ‘regularly updated’ list. I gently explained that those 3 specialists no longer worked in the region.

My gf’s mom in SoCal spent countless hours essentially trying to do the job of the ‘transfer specialist’ who theoretically was supposed to manage the red tape transfer of her husband from hospital to rehab center.

Thanks GOP for making sure we avoid the efficiencies inherent to a single payer system
