Just… Wow, Part 2
Caller: “Hi, I received a homeowner’s quote in the mail, and I have some questions about it.”
Me: “Sure, I’ll be more than happy to help you out with that today.”
Caller: “Will this policy protect my bicycle?”
Me: “Yes, the policy will protect all your personal property within the specified limit.”
Caller: “What if someone tries to run me over while I am riding the bicycle, like in a parade?”
Me: “Well… actually, the person who tried to run you over would be liable for your bike and your injuries, so you could sue them. If you don’t mind me asking, why do you think someone is going to try and run you over?”
Caller: “I am going to be riding my bike in parade, and my ex-husband was a very powerful man with many enemies. I’m afraid that people are going to try and hurt me to get back at him.”
Me: “Oh… well… people trying to injure you would not be settled by your insurance company, but you definitely have other options.”
Caller: “What about my cat?”
Me: “Your… cat… is in the parade as well?”
Caller: “Yes, I fashioned a cage on my bike so that he can ride around on the front, so in the parade I am going to be riding around with him in the cage for all to see! But I am afraid that he will be hurt as well.”
Me: “Well, like I said, if someone comes after you or your cat, it will be settled in a court of law.”
Caller: “Now, also, what if my cat attacks someone?”
Me: “Does your cat attack people on a regular basis?”
Caller: “Only colored people.”
(The call actually went on for longer, with me eventually declining the policy due to her owning a dangerous animal… wow.)
