Five Random Things I Don't Understand

I just don't understand...

-Whose idea was it to have companies send out these privacy notices every year? I don't disagree that they should have them, but I'm sure the extra mailing costs get passed back to the consumer. Does anybody even read those things?

-Why are insurance companies allowed to increase your rates after just one or two accidents? Isn't that what we pay them for?

-If I pay to have cable, why do cable channels think I should watch paid programming?

-What's up with these commercials that show a doctor sitting at his/her desk, talking with a fully dressed patient who is sitting in a regular chair? When do you ever get to talk to your doctor while wearing anything but a scratchy paper gown or sitting on anything but the exam table?

-When I buy calcium supplements at the grocery store, why does the automatic coupon machine think I'm old enough to join AARP?
