Money and Insurance: Insurance is a racket - FML

Insurance is a racket

By Anonymous - 16/08/2021 08:01 - Germany - Dresden

Today, health insurance is mandatory in my country, and you pay 15% of your gross income for it. Sounds acceptable, right? Except when you find out that, according to the insurance companies, 15% of ZERO is 170 €. FML

So that begs more questions. Are you unemployed, and if so, is there some kind of unemployment benefit/insurance you can use? Do you live with someone who makes all the money? Is this just a clerical error?

Perhaps 170 € is a minimum? It's 15% from 1133 €, which in Germany is under minimum wage.

Aujourd'hui, surveillante en collège, je remplis des carnets d'élèves. Avec mon collègue nous en profitons pour nous plaindre de notre situation précaire et de nos santés fragiles. Ma main a subtilement fait passer le message aux parents : j'ai signé "Vie de merde" à la place de "Vie scolaire". VDM

Aujourd'hui, ma sœur m'a envoyé une vidéo Snapchat pendant que je mangeais chez une amie pour me dire : "On a trouvé ça avec papa et tata dans ta chambre, on pensait que c'était un bourdon." C'était mon sex-toy vibrant. Il s'est allumé tout seul dans la journée. VDM

Today, I was so inexplicably horny that I had to shuffle awkwardly and use my bag to hide the wetness of my pants as I left work for the day. FML

Today, mere hours after getting my knee out of plaster and walking normally again, I stepped on a giant nail, which went through my shoe and came out of the top of my foot. Surgery on the splintered bone, bandages, and no putting weight on it for at least 2 weeks. Here I go again. FML

Today, I went to the dentist. She had a tool that sucks up saliva, and put it in my mouth. She told me to close my mouth, and I did. Turns out she forgot to turn it on, causing my saliva to go all over my face. I had to sit like that for the rest of the visit. FML

Today, my dad got so drunk that I had to drive him home. He kept yelling at me to not speed, saying I was going too fast and that there were too many bumps on the road. I hadn't even started the car yet. FML

Today, my girlfriend made me a chocolate cake to try and cheer me after my dog died. My dog died because my dad fed him chocolate. FML
