Do any of you hate getting unrelated texts plugging some business that has no right or reason to contact you?

The dentistry I'd like to discuss is Irving Park Family Dentist. They are inconsiderate to a rare, breathtaking degree. When I got there, they informed me my appointment was cancelled. When I asked why I didn't know that, they told me they had been calling patients 'all morning' to let them know. They weren't on the phone at the time, so apparently they thought they were done calling everyone to cancel. My phone showed no text, no call. So, I guess I wasn't important enough of a customer to let me know.

I was referred to this dental practice by Zocdoc, so perhaps zocdoc doctors tend not to value their online patients so much.

This dental practice, with whom I've had NO business relationship, since after all they cancelled my appointment (I never went back) is now texting me ads for their business. Funny how when it's to their benefit, they can find my number just fine.

If you hate these, I have a way to stop them, and punish Microsoft for not allowing us the option of not displaying them.

Since they won't let me have the option to turn these stupid things off, my workaround is to use a very old browser, which does not even know how to display this stupid ****. Of course, now their ads aren't showing through, either! Bonus!;)

I think I might just keep it this way. Shot yourselves in the foot, arrogant jerks.

Again, you can not only remove the icons, but stop the ads on the free version too.

I'm using IE 8 for this, just for Outlook only. Ironic, using their own outdated browser to defeat this Outlook irritation. Perhaps a more recent browser will also put the kibosh on the icons, if anyone experiments and finds a better old browser for this let us know.

The cancelled appointment was almost a year ago! When are they going to stop spamming me? Or do they not remember they did not ever actually see me as a patient?
