Well, I always said that the world is full of idiots, something I realized when I was a teenager. Here is another one for the books....
My husband, in hospital, gets a letter from his Super fund, telling him, he is lost and they are transferring his Super to some other mob.
By "lost" they are obviously referring to his address, to which they have just sent the letter. I rang them to say "he is not lost, he still lives here at this address" They insist on speaking to the Policy Holder, not me (I am only lthe wife, so what would I know) I explain he is in the hospital and will be for some time, and I am just informing them that he still lives here at the current address where they have just sent the letter and there is no need to transfer his funds to anywhere else. They refuse to listen to me, insisting that they need to speak to the Policy Holder, and if and when he gets out of hospital he would need to contact them.
Here's another one, my son applied at Centrelink for the dole. He was given an appointment date to see them. In the meantime he got a job. I rang to tell them that he would not be attending the appointment. Their answer.. he would need to take time off work to come in and see them to verify that he had a job and no longer needed to be on their books. I just told them, that I was informing them of the situation, there was no way he would be taking time off for this, and they could take it or leave it! Then there was the reference letter that I wrote for him, no good according to the so-called experts who were going to rewrite it and never did. We posted four in the original format, to which he was offered three jobs. The fourth said they would like to offer him a job if they could, didn't need anyone at the time.
I could go on, just too many numberous examples of the idiots in this world. Common sense is not common!
