Slowly Going Insane...

deird_ljBureaucracy is killing me.
All I want to do is get contents insurance for my house.
Being a loyal customer, I decided to get contents insurance from the same people who do my health insurance. They're nice, they're reliable, and they'll give me a discount. Unfortunately, there's a catch.
I can only get to their office on Saturdays.
The woman who handles the contents insurance is only there on weekdays.
So, every Saturday, I have to go in and try talking to the health insurance people.
I got Contents Woman to leave a form at the desk, so I could pick it up on a Saturday.
The following Saturday, I took it back, with a couple of parts left blank, because I didn't know what to write.
The Health Ladies didn't know what to write either.
Contents Woman rang me during the week, and told me what to write.
I picked up the form from the Health Ladies again, filled it in, and dropped it off.
Contents Woman rang, and said yes, the form was now filled in correctly. Now all I had to do was come in and sign it.
So this morning I went in, and asked the Health Ladies if I could sign the form.
Health Ladies couldn't find the form.
Health Ladies have written a note for Contents Woman, asking her to ring me during the week, to arrange a place to leave the form, so that the Health Ladies can find it for me when I go in next Saturday, to sign it.
WHY ARE YOU MAKING IT SO HARD FOR ME TO GIVE YOU MONEY?!
I think I'll buy a shotgun...
