    “Nobody knows what the rules are anymore”

    That’s the one I experience so much these days. It really does seem like even the professionals being paid to enforce the rules don’t know what the rules are anymore. When things have reached that degree of chaos, how am I supposed to know what I have to do?

    And it just keeps on happening over and over.

    Go to the DMV (driver’s license office), talk to three different people, and you’ll get 3 different interpretations on what paperwork needs to be provided and what forms need to filled out. Head over to the post office after being told you just need to show your ID to do a change of address, and suddenly the clerk acts like they have never done a change of address before but either way they’re certain you need to provide 3 forms of ID and proof of residence at the new and old addresses. Only thing is, none of that is true, so when you try the same thing at a different post office, everything goes through just fine. Insurance is supposed to cover a relatively minor medical procedure, but you call ahead of time to confirm. The doctor’s office even gets advanced approval. After everything is said and done, you spend the next 5 months filling out a plethora of forms, calling doctors office and insurance company weekly, jumping through hoops, being told the last person you talked to didn’t give you the right forms so now you have fill out the exact information on another form that’s virtually identical. And the list goes on.
