What's the dumbest thing you thought as an adult that you recently learned was wrong?

I just realized while cooking that a measuring-cup cup (as measured out as 250mL in a glass measuring cup) is the same amount(s) as one of the actual plastic baking measuring cups that go inside each other like Russian dolls lol
I thought they were different somehow (something something imperial metric yadda yadda yaddda)
Your turn to come clean Lemmings!
**EDIT: to clarify, I mean volumetrically for measuring liquids

Having a tooth pulled wouldn't be that expensive.
Now I see why Noone in America goes to the dentist
The most annoying part is even if you have coverage, if it has a deductable it hard to get yourself to get in there
This old lady I know went and got a prescription filled last week. The co-pay was $24. Not bad, I don't know what medicine it is. Then she got home and couldn't find it. After looking everywhere and not finding it (probably threw it out by accident) she went back to get a refill and said,"I'll just pay cash for this, I fucked up" and it rung up at $10. The cash price was less than half the insurance price. What the fuck is that?
I work in a pharmacy and never understand these stories. That's just not how insurance billing works.
Good chance the people at the pharmacy used some sort of discount card that brought the price lower than her insurance. I see that all the time. But a copay can't be higher than the cash price. That would result in the pharmacy paying the insurance company minus cost to fill the prescription which just wouldn't happen.
That's good to hear, because I thought it was insane myself.
U need to investigate that shit for her and our Providence or whatever. Please update me on how the hecks that possible...
I'm in the US. This is some shitty Medicare Advantage rip-off insurance.
So wats the lesson for next refill?
Haha, CASH IS KING!!
Sad! Hehe
You think getting a tooth pulled is expensive? Try getting a new one put in.
Yeah I get to have that experience and payment plan in a few weeks
A few years ago I had to get like 3 crowns in the span of a few months. Oh man my wallet was aching.
I'm scheduled for my wisdom teeth to be pulled. 55 euros a pop.
I've got a consult for that later this month, I'm really hoping it's not too bad with my insurance, but worst case I'll hit my OoP max for the year early?
Wow I had one of mine removed and it costed 580 Euros, been putting off going because they checked the other teeth and had to get two fillings total bill was 1,140 Euros. Sucks because I was told when this happened two years ago that I’d need the other one pulled out soon and after that costing just over half my months pay, I have been putting it off.
I can understand putting it off with those prices... Mine will cost me out pocket. If it's over four hundred my insurance would reimburse me, too. (Of course I've been paying into my insurance fund for a lot of years now)
