I said I was getting a new car, not a wedding
DaveCall and I got a new car. We are both going to be driving it so we decided to get a joint insurance policy. We are both incredibly crafty, but I think DaveCall's dad is too smart for us to sneak the car on to his policy....so I called my agent. I have never met my agent and I have only talked to him once, I usually work with his assistant. His assistant was out of the office so I worked with the assistant's assistant, or ass-ass for short. So I gave ass-ass all the info she needed to figure out a quote and asked her to call me back when she had the numbers. When ass-ass called back she had some very surprising information for me, "Randi, on behalf of everyone here in the office we would like to congratulate you on getting married." Silence on my end.....until I said, "Uh, what." Ass-ass, "Steven (the agent) said that you were getting married and we are all so very happy for you." Me, "I don't know where he got that, but like I said before my boyfriend and I bought a car, the only thing legally binding us together is XXX Bank, no plans for marriage here." Ass-ass, "But Randi, Steven said you were getting married." Me, "I have to be honest, I have never met Steven so I don't know where he got that idea from, but I can assure you I'm not getting married." Now one would think that at this point she would drop it, but no we went one more round. I checked with DaveCall because I thought maybe he was holding out on me and not telling me that he and my insurance agent were besties, but no DaveCall has never met him either. I love that because we bought a car together people think we are getting married. I love that I had to defend my life to a stranger. I love that she wouldn't let go of the idea. It took all I had to not shout, "IT'S MY LIFE, I GET TO BE RIGHT ON THIS ONE." I am thinking we need to start shopping for a new insurance company, after this exchange they don't strike me as the brightest stars in the sky.
