When they avoid the questions, I generally point it out. Either way, how they respond says a lot about how the company handles customer service. Just the fact that you feel it's "disheartening" and expected more is a terrific way to get companies who see comments such as yours to think again. Many don't even bother to respond at all. Regardless, it's still fun to write and see what happens. Some companies answer with a sense of humor, many respond seriously and others reply with form letters.

Ok, I understand you are being funny and I'm not expecting a long serious response but at least something to indicate there may be a human reading incoming mail.

Unfortunately, I was a deprived rural child without fluoride. I've learned to live with it. I've been a little slow on moving on up to gas...the shots aren't so bad. In fact, the whole thing is quite tolerable. I even find myself snoring sometimes! Is there something wrong with me?

No dentist has ever handed me a remote control. During my last visit I was treated to aerial views of the European countryside with instrumental music. For someone like me who prefers big cities, it not only made me more tense, it made me want to bite his finger really, really hard.

Ban TVs! While I'm at the dentist, I usually am subjected to an extended dose of mindless or disturbing daytime TV or news. If it isn't the sad, bad stories on the talk shows, it's the daily litany of murder and mayhem from around the world. I know dentists mean well by trying to distract you from what's going on in your mouth. But they may have an ulterior motive. By subjecting you to all that negativity, you'll think your visit to the dentist is a walk in the park. Thanks for speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves because of all the cotton, goo, and equipment in their mouths! I’ve got another rule… Ban TVs!
