When people I haven't heard from in 5 years quit facebook inviting me to events in other states, then and only then will I consider responding.

Also, since when is it the doctor's job to memorize each and every insurance provider they can accept? Half the time they haven't got a clue until you try billing the insurance company and see what they'll pay for. You could just call your insurers and ask before you make an appointment. That is on you.

Way to have no fucking clue as to how the real world works, both in and outside of Portland. Sometimes people don't give a fuck about the event that they obviously can't go to. Sometimes you have to do some research for yourself.

WAT. I've had the same experience as the OP. I was told flat out by a service provider that even though they accepted my insurance... they preferred not to since they didn't get reimbursed as well. The glory of insurance.

You think your the only game in town that has the guts to stand up with your lesson on teaching us little cowards how to act. Bet you are a little wimp that stands behind his mommy.

The more you no!

Shouldn't you technically be writing these people and confronting them yourself, as opposed to leaving an IA? Or even posting a Status Update with said critique of friends for all to see and be free to logically deduce applies to themselves? That would even be possible to do while remaining civil, courteous and not insulting or demeaning anybody. I know, fucking crazy, right?

I mean, if we're following the logical flow of your post, that would be what you would do, as opposed to being passive aggressive and saying nothing while you melt down online, right?

I mean, but this is fucking Portland though, right? Fuck 'em.

I have a sneaking suspicion that bell trolls maybe doesn't get a lot of opportunities to say no to invites.

It's more that I don't get invitations for things that I would say "yes" to, or that I could physically attend. Is that not sufficiently insulting?
