Health insurance sh*t frustrates me to no end. Only health insurance for some reason. It is an endless loop of calls to the insurance company and the hospital to find out exactly how much something costs to pay out of pocket (in the case insurance doesn’t cover a procedure). Most people you reach are incompetent. And nobody can tell you with confidence the exact number. Makes me so upset, I make my husband (who is a physician) do it. He has more patience but it wears on him too.

Yes incompetence annoys me.

Yes, it annoys me when other people's mistakes inconvenience me. It it were once in a while, it wouldn't be that a big deal. But there are so many mistakes made by so many incompetent people, that I find myself inconvenienced not infrequently.

Absolutely. A modern world is wonderful in many ways, but the bureaucracy, technology and incompetence wears on you.

Yes, and I did this and we already had a visit! This is for x-rays, in office at the same office two weeks later. They already processed our first claim using the same insurance.

Whip out some cash and fling it at the receptionist. It's a good flex.

Now I feel like we are in limbo bc unless it gets solved I might have to cancel the appointment and find a new place. I don't like things up in the air.

A long time ago I decided it wasn't worth letting things like this annoy me. I grew up with a mom who was annoyed by every single inconvenience that happened to her and it just seemed like a miserable way to live. Unless something causes a negative impact on my life (it took hours to fix, I had to cancel an appt because it couldn't be fixed in time, etc), I just don't find it worth it to get annoyed.


It is causing me an inconvenience: I am on 30 minutes of trying to even get the right person. I finally reached someone who said the person would call me back, but it is Friday afternoon and who knows. I find that my life is an endless amount of little thigns that do add up. I had another issue a couple weeks ago with something the pediatrician messed up with dd's vaccine records and that took two hours plus I ended up having to go in person.

Ds has x-rays scheduled for next week and I get a call that our insurance is invalid. Of course it is valid, and the person probably typed something wrong. It happened to me before at the gynecologist. Idk why but I find it so frustrating. It creates extra work for me having to call and sort it out when it's annoying enough to start.
