Dumbest Solution That Worked

What is the dumbest solution to a problem that actually worked? I went to cancel a doctor's appointment and they said it was a $200 charge without a week's notice. I asked how much it was to reschedule, they said it was free. "Okay, so I need to reschedule for two weeks out." "Is three weeks okay?" "Yep." "Alright, you're all set for three weeks from now. Anything else I can do for you?" "Yes, I need to cancel my appointment." "We need a week's notice." "My appointment is three weeks away." "Oh. Okay. Sure." "Thank you." Couldn't believe it worked.

A person avoids a $200 late-cancellation fee by rescheduling a doctor's appointment three weeks into the future and then immediately canceling it. The joke is that the bureaucratic rule is technically satisfied through an absurd loophole, making this a reaction to a clever but ridiculous workaround.
