What's really funny is I'd told him I am being downsized at the end of the summer, so please keep in mind I won't be able to make any long-term commitments, and he smiles and nods and says "Sure, I understand" - then hands me a treatment proposal for cosmetic work that I don't really need, where I'd have to pay almost $5,000 bucks out of my own pocket!

Thanks, I think I'll just go for the "Big Book of British Smiles" look instead ... ;-)
I have similar problems with my dentist. She thought it was absolutely hilarious when I told her that I'd have to wait a few extra weeks to save up the money to pay for the next appointment.

I think people in certain professions forget that not everyone makes as much money as they do.

i agree and this really drives me crazy. once a lawyer explained to me that even for a very simple procedure which only involved her putting a name on a standard document with no modifications and no appearance before a judge, she "had" to charge 10 000 F (more than 1500 €), because, you understand, she "had to prepare her retirement".

We are suing a former employer for severance pay. We just got our first invoice from our lawyer. WOW!! We won't be sending any more emails asking for an update of the proceedings.

WDE.

Statement : Basingstoke is not a million miles away but there are other towns closer lol
