Shit that annoys you

[chicken feathers]

Our local hospital and care network (was Centura, now CommonSpirit) is planning to drop my insurance (BCBS) at the end of the month.

I’ve had some health problems the last year and was supposed to start some treatments in June. Nothing major but stuff I wanna take care of. Looking like I’m fucked as I’ll likely have to travel hours and start over w/ new docs for good care, or wait until open season to change insurance if this goes through. Fucking BS.

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.

(Actual) pro tip--take a dose before bedtime, next one when you wake up. Strict q6h dosing is for hospitals so the nurses have an excuse to wake you in the middle of the night.

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.

Yeah, definitely not going to Safelite. I knew Pilkington made the oem, but thanks for the Fuyao rec. It's a 2019, and the plan is to pay the difference if required.

supplemental glass insurance

We used to, but rates have climbed so much in WA, and we went a solid decade without even a chip so hubris got the better of me, and I went without extra glass and a higher deductible. Cue up Alanis here...

Nurse Ratchet lives for that.

What is the problem with Safelite? Curious because I need a new 3rd gen tacoma windshield.

They have a complete monopoly on the auto glass industry and generally suck at what they do.

Around here Safelite is the only place I could find that could recalibragte the cameras. And no mobile--you have to go into the shop. I suppose I could go to the dealer. I can't imagine that would be better.
Driving every day on I80 in the Sierra I treat a cracked windshield as an opportunity to get a (briefly) unpitted windshield for the cost of the deductible.

They put in a windshield. It’s pretty damn easy. None of mine have ever fallen out. I don’t see a problem here.

People who call Whistler "Whis."

It's like calling New York "New," or Tahoe "Ta." This behaviour should cease immediately.

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.

I'm in a similar boat. 52. only see docs for injuries. Changed insurance 3 times in the last 10 years or so and have never had a PCP or been seen for anything other than x-rays, etc. I can't imagine poke, prod and testing is going to reveal anything I want to know.

Wife thinks I'm an idiot and I'm gonna appease by scheduling check-up. Hopefully can get in by October 2030.

ETA...did get a scope. would bang again just for the propofol.

Annoying: a one way ticket JH>Denver is actually $20 MORE expensive than Round Trip. This is not new, but annoying.
And $515 for a 1.5 hour flight.

I have to wait to get windshield replaced due to Bambi. I'm sure this will take months to fix.

from the looks of it, bambi went for hell of a flight

[Foggy_Goggles]

No backstraps. I was going 70 and didn't even tap the brakes. There wasn't much left.

Pay the deductible and deal. Could be worse. Simply annoying.

Yeah, probably the only reason I care is that I know I'm overdue for a colonoscopy. I'm approaching my mid 50s and it's probably time I quit assuming I'm bulletproof.

Can you take the money and get a big ass aftermarket welded bumper?

[Foggy_Goggles]

Maybe...but there is a whole lot more fucked than just the bumper...new radiator, new trans cooler, new bumper mounts and so on.

trying to buy a water park pass for my daughter, and the place has one of those stupid "I am not a robot" captcha boxes. And when I click on it, because I am not a robot (at least I dont think I am), it just spins and spins and never gets me to the next screen. annoying.

[mcski]

What kind of robot would be dumb enough to go in the water?

[Harry]

Maybe the robot used Aquaseal to make itself waterproof, eh?
