As a long term Southern Cross member, I am keen to mitigate the increasingly high costs of Travel Insurance by switching off my medical cover in NZ while I'm overseas.

SC has an amazingly generous policy - allowing you 5 suspensions in 30 years - as long as they are 12 months apart.

So I sent them a heads-up - and got this:

I'm not sure if this is another we-can't-wait-to-be-helpful aspect of their corporate policy (/sarc) or bad programming.

Let's blame it on the programmer - and imagine you are writing code to set up a policy suspension.
Wouldn't you code it so you can't set a start date more than 42 days ahead ?

It's more likely to be the business analysts or product managers that specify 6 weeks than the coders.

As a coder, the default would be "just set the hold in place".  Would only add a time limit if requested.

Microsoft has added a new "Drafts" feature to Teams. I can't imagine why I'd need drafts in an instant messaging tool and it just takes up space, so I figured I'd right-click on it and remove it. No such luck. The item has a menu attached, but there are no items in it. I think this is the first time I've ever seen a menu with nothing in it!

I was about to post the same thing - on what planet do I need a dedicated area that takes up screen space to view all the draft IMs that I DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE and are NEVER LIKELY to EVER have.
