Seriously, corporate America?

Way to destroy my feelings of happiness. Companies will do anything these days to jerk money out of you. I am being penalized for always promoting the company saying how great they are. And what do I get in return?

"OH YOU NEED A DOCTOR'S NOTE BEFORE WE CAN GIVE YOU YOU'RE OWN MONEY BACK EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN'T EVEN UTILIZE THE OPPORTUNITY AND TRIED TO RECEIVE A REFUND BEFOREHAND WHEN OUR OFFICE WAS CLOSED WHICH MEANT WE COULD JUST HOLD YOUR MONEY FROM YOU ON PURPOSE  AND MAKE YOU WAIT BECAUSE WE KNOW MOST AMERICANS ARE LAZY AND THEREFORE WILL NOT JUMP THROUGH OUR COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY HOOPS IN ORDER TO GET THEIR MONEY BACK SO WE JUST END UP KEEPING IT ANYWAY"


Oh, and then there is the ridiculous doctor's office who want to make me jump through their own hoops and can't even see me until Thursday where I'll have to wait most likely at least 4 hours because that tends to be their average wait time for a 5 second consult just so I can get said ridiculously, stupidly, unnecessary note. Which means I won't be able to visit my family this week like I wanted & mentally needed to.

I'm sure somewhere in this there is some sort of lesson as to overcoming my impulsiveness. BUT REALLY? COME ON! I know this is a rant and not an effort to improve writing. But if this was my old school live journal circa 2001-2003 I would use one of those fuming un-smiley faces to describe my mood.

Well, you know what you very silly gym? I'm marching to the doctor on Thursday, taking a good book to read, and getting that note so I can shove it in your fax face! Harrumph.

  1. Jerks. Stick to it and get your money back! And send a letter all the way up the ladder about how you were treated.

  2. Plant a smile on your face and stick to your plan. I hope your wait at the doctors office goes unexpectedly FAST! Take your book to read and your journal to write, perhaps a muse will visit you in the waiting room -think of all the people watching you can do!

  3. Blah! How frustrating. I agree with Su, you should vocalize your thoughts and feelings about your experience.

  4. @Sue & Judy- I don't even think there's someone I can complain to :( Except my family and blog!

    @Sheila: Thanks for the tip! It didn't occur to me to use fellow waiters' as fuel. I'm usually too grumpy/bitter/angry (all of the above) because they're usually deathly sick/rude/obnoxious! Now I'll try to look at them positively :)
