Random Irritations

[Doon frae Troon]

The thing that always cheeses me off with insurance companies is their willingness to reduce their premium once they know they've been compared elsewhere. Why do you have to hold this gun to their head? I thought insurance brokers and the like existed to help us get the best price?

I had a nice bit of Karma when last years quote company asked why we did not give them a chance to equal the new much lower [and better] quote from the new company.
I replied, for the same reason you did not offer me a competitive price in the first place.
She said, Sorry but that is just the way we do business.
I replied, Well in my case, that is the way you did not do business.

If they offered me the same price as last year for all my insurances (2 cars and the house) I'd take it. It's a price I'm comfortable with and no need to shop around

Wouldn't even think about it

Wouldn't care what could have been

But when it comes in as more without s change in circumstances and with covid less miles driven they can do one

The amount of guests on Soccer AM who, when asked, "who's the winner" don't know the answer is "football, football's always the winner" - clearly none of them actually watch the show!

This is a great irritation ?. It applies to a host of quiz shows, celebrity versions, where their agents have clearly just booked them in and it's purely a job. It's unprofessional and ruins it for the regular watcher.

I gave up on Fighting Talk on the radio for a range of reasons but this was definitely one of them. Defend the Indefensible became 'I can't say that' way too often ?

Insurance is one of mankind's strangest inventions.
You (the insured) is betting that you'll pay the insurance company less, over the years, in premium payments than they will have to pay you (the insured) in the event of a loss, and you (the insured) hope that you lose the bet...

Third party losses...

I've had back problems for years, a MRI showed osteoarthritis on my spine impinging on the l/h side nerves..
I have been playing at least 9 holes 2 /3 times a week, weather permitting.
This time it was self inflicted, I over done it in the garden [ weeding ] over the weekend .

Edit -- Anyone heard of this guy , or watched his videos " Dr Rahim Salemohamed DC , Chiropratic ".
The name doesn't quite sell it to me , is he genuine ?

Plus the insurance companies hope to make more on investing your money than they pay out in claims.

I read it the other way.
They are told to say it so Jimmy can get the punch line in.

Hmmm that is possible but they usually seem a bit confused and not sure whether to say they or Jimmy won...if it's scripted then they're rubbish at that!
