Insurance call
I just had a call from a telemarketer for an insurance company. Apparently my bank suggested they give me a call (ratbags!).
Anyway, she was explaining away all the coverage and benefits, and said "...and there's an extra bonus of $25,000 if you die from a terminal illness diagnosed after the policy begins". I waited a bit and asked "What if you're diagnosed before the policy?" She rattled on with other details and came back to this later. "I'm sorry" she said, "but if you're diagnosed with a terminal disease before the policy then there's no pay out".
To which I said (and of course I don't suffer from this) "So if I've been battling cancer and this is the third time around, I'd get nothing?" There was a pause and she said (in a dejected voice) "Uh, no, sorry, you wouldn't be covered" to which I said "I think I'll pass" and hung up.
Been a long time since I felt like fucking with these people, but I enjoyed the moment thoroughly (and to any friends who are battling cancer, more power to you!)
