The billing department at St. Luke's Hospital in San Francisco is a shady operation. Last month we received two bills for about 250 bucks each. Our primary doctor is based out of St. Luke's, so most medical needs are taken care of there. One of the bills was for services this year, and since $250 is my insurance's yearly deductible, we paid it, no questions asked. But the second bill, you see, was for services from 2007. When we called St. Luke's to ask about it, they said that Aetna had paid for the services in 2007, but then "took the money back."

WTF?

So. We called my insurance, and asked them about it and they had no idea what St. Luke's was talking about, and told us to check our records and see if we had indeed paid them last year around the time the services were done. Alas, we checked our records, and could find nothing indicating that we had paid St. Luke's at that time, so: we went ahead and forked over the money.

How many ways does this piss us off? Like the fact if she just crossed Valencia Street, there's an actual crosswalk there. Or the fact that she still has to jaywalk Market Street even after jaywalking the lane, making it not a very smart place to jaywalk to begin with. Or just the sheer fact that she thought it was cool to jaywalk in the middle of incoming traffic.

Look, we jaywalk too. A lot. But we consider ourselves good jaywalkers. We don't mind jaywalkers who are smart, but we hate jaywalkers who are stupid-- they give jaywalking a bad name (bad name). See, us good jaywalkers know that there's two basic rules to jaywalking:

-Don't jaywalk in the middle of traffic
-If you're jaywalking with traffic headed your way, don't saunter across the street with a latte in your had and an attitude that there's nothing wrong with asking a bunch of cars to slow down just for you-- move your ass.

See, this way you don't piss off drivers. Not to mention get friggin hit by a car.

Anyways, to you, Jaywalking Lady, since we didn't do this while driving yesterday, we'll do this now:
