“Back and forth through my mind.”
Thursday, 12 April 2007 12:32
I switched to Geico today and I saved. I wanted to switch last year to Allstate because I felt like I was being ripped off by my current insurance. I spent twenty minutes on the phone with an Allstate representative so I could be called a “high risk individual.” I never know how to respond to situations like that because it always feels as though I’ve just had the wind knocked out of me. I’m a very safe driver. Especially when my turn signal is working.

To define me “high risk” is a little exaggerated. I didn’t particularly enjoy being described that way because I had just been dumped and I wasn’t feeling especially desirable. That Allstate agent nearly pushed me over the edge when he said that; I sat in near silence for thirty seconds until I blurted out, “WHAT DO YOU MEAN I’M HIGH RISK!?”

My face probably looked very contorted when I said that. I have a vein in my forehead that bulges when I’m angry or I concentrate too hard on walking a straight line. That vein probably nearly burst that day. I remember having an extreme headache immediately after the conversation with Allstate and I’m pretty sure I didn’t do anything that day but fume about how much I hated that Allstate agent. Most angry people can be very productive because they want to “SHOW THEM”, but I get very sulky and wish to die.

The Allstate agent answered my question by reminding me that I had an accident, and two speeding tickets. Something like, “Three offenses and only one car.” Whatever. Those were totally not my fault.
