therapist: and what do we say when we feel like this?

me: no live organism can continue to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality

therapist: no

Americans are all "English is descriptive, not prescriptive 🌹" but then why the hell am I getting billed $6420 for "water damage" to my landlord's "dry wall"

Dog we have no idea either. I bet you yell at waitstaff.

No i do not, because if I buy a burger for ten dollars and it ends up being 15 after tax and tip that's just not a big deal, or if it was, i could eat at home. If it ended up being $540 and also if i had no choice but to eat the hamburger or suffer serious health effects then sure I would be upset.

Also, what if it was the waitstaffs literal job to talk to my dietician and see if there was an alternate hamburger that cost less than $540, or if my dietician had records saying the hamburger was covered and the restaraunt didn't get the memo.

& please highlight where in the post I say I yelled at anyone.

Use your brain.

You mean a pharmacist, not a pharmacy tech. Words mean things.

Your incorrect example can actually be useful here: it is not waitstaff's job to negotiate with the farmer or the owner. They have no power here. Neither does a pharmacy tech. Do you yell at the jiffy lube tech because mobil 1 raised their price of bulk oil, too?

You're yelling at waitstaff because the farmer decided to up his price. Not even the owner or purchaser. Congrats, and thanks for confirming it.
