I'm grumpy today and need to vent

[csziggy]

Yesterday I went to the dentist to have a filling replaced. The original filling fell out several weeks ago and this was as soon as he could fit me in. The missing filling was along one side of the tooth and there are two other fillings in that tooth that didn't look good so the decision was made to put a crown on. Yeah! Another fake tooth in my mouth. As of now I think I might have six teeth without crowns or implants and I doubt any of those haven't had fillings.

I got a letter the other day from my attorney. Nothing serious, she sends out "newsletters" that include updates to legal issues that might affect her clients, most of whom are elderly (yes, I now fit in that category). It was sent to my street address. I have told her office staff MULTIPLE times to NOT send anything to the street box. It is not secure and I don't want anything of financial or legal import to go there. That is why I have a PO Box - which I have provided with emphasis over and over to them.

I've been waiting on some paperwork I have to sign in order to close out my parents' estates. My sister called to see why I haven't responded. The people responsible sent it to an incorrect email which I have pointed out to them as WRONG. (Think of the correct one as [e-mail] and they have been sending it to [e-mail] The frustrating part is that they have NAME correct in the documents. If it were supposed to be NAM, they should have changed it there, too.

Getting old sucks bad enough with having to deal with stuff like my teeth coming apart, but why can't the professionals get shit right? I didn't complain too much when they first got it wrong, just pointed out the errors. But the second, third or fourth time just pisses me off. And no, I don't jump up and down on their heads. I try to be nice when I let them know they fucked up.

I just want to vent about WHY DO I HAVE TO FIX THEIR MISTAKES?

1. Teeth are an expensive pain

all my molars are crowns.

If be mad too. How hard is it to get an address right?

3. Yes, my molars, too

Of my premolars, I only had one adult one, so in my forties they had to go and I had three bridges. A few years back a molar that had two root canals finally went and I have an implant there, but while things were healing and I couldn't chew on that side, the bridge on the other side broke. So I have an implant where the premolar was and crowns on each side.

I love my implants, but won't do more until the roots of any teeth go. It's just frustrating the time it takes to heal from pulling the tooth until they can put in the implant and tooth.

I just couldn't believe that both offices have screwed up the addresses (email and physical) more than once after being notified. And on essential correspondence! Good thing my sister is on top of things since otherwise I never would have known they were sending the documents out.

2. So many incompetent people

You wonder how more businesses don’t go under. And just try getting decent customer service anywhere!

4. I know! Customer service failings I mostly blame on low paid people

Why should they care about our problems when they aren't being paid enough to cover their bills?
