  When they are late, I tell the front desk to re-schedule and leave. I’ve had the dentist complain once or twice over the years but when two entities decide on a time for a meeting, that’s the time it needs to happen. Unlike the office, I’m having to cancel stuff I would normally be doing to be there, they are not.

  Eventually I’ll be old and grumpy enough to start sending them bills for late cancellation (probably joking).

    Exactly.

    The… the norms here are bullshit, both from the PoV of ‘I am a consumer’, and also from the basic professional etiquette of ‘this is a business meeting’.

    Fuck, like… I got a statement from my insurance the other day, saying they didn’t cover 1 of the two sets of glasses I got.

    Called em.

    Do I owe you money?

    No, your optometry provider might bill you later though.

    Ah ok, cool, thanks!

    … and its been 6 months and the optometrists have yet to send me a bill.

    Not my problem!

    Wasn’t this a Seinfeld episode?

      I don’t remember it from Seinfeld, but it totally tracks with the feel of their jokes. Sadly I haven’t seen Curb Your Enthusiasm or It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia (figured that one was similar), they are on my list for if the wife ever gets into shows like that (I was able to get her into The Office and Parks and Rec which really weren’t in her wheelhouse).
