Me: Yes, I'm looking to buy catastrophe insurance.
Phone dude: We'll sir, how much are you looking to spend?
Me: Is that a retarded question. I'll spend all I've got to stay alive till I'm 150.
Phone dude: Well then, we'll have this and this plan for you and it'll come to $1k/month.
Me: So this plan is gonna keep me alive till 150 right?
Phone dude: Well, it covers everything you need.
Me: But if it doesn't keep me alive till 150, what's the fucking point? Come on man, I gotta live to 150 cuz my wife and I each have life insurance plans and I gotta make sure I outlive her to get her insurance.
Phone dude: Errr..
Me: What kind of a lame ass sales person are you if you can't keep your clients alive with a plan to 150?

So I constantly have this sales experience where the first thing I look at is the best. It has to be fairly common, of course, but I got it with this too. The first guy I talked to was very patient and went through several options with me in an (as far as I could tell) honest attempt to get me what I need.
Every person since then has been teh suxx. They fire right off with some BS or spend all their energy on an upsell. It must be something about my attitude with salesfolk. It can't be me, right? I mean, I didn't marry my first girlfriend or stay with my first job or my first major. Actually in my adult life I'm averaging roughly 1.3 apartments and 0.7 cities of residence per year.
Hmm, or maybe I just learned something.
