I HATE that phone call

[ChadTower]

Just got the periodic phone call from the wife:

"I backed into the control box at the car wash... scraped up the car, broke the taillight."

Sigh.  I can't remember my insurance deductible.

With the show about to fly, I ALWAYS expect a call from my wife saying she got in an accident. She can't drive for crap! I feel for you.

Sorry, man.

One of Murphy's corollaries says that deductible = damage + 1.

[ChadTower]

The damage is local, I saw.  Driver's taillight housing smashed but all signals still work.  Quarter panel is scraped and dented all the way across but not very deep.  If I had the hardware to paint it I could probably fix it myself without more than a day or two of effort.

It's a 2005, though, so I may just let the insurance do it.  I'll call our agent monday.

You see, my wife only gets in accidents when she is driving my car, which I make sure is always full of junk so she doesn't want to drive it.

Except when hers is in the shop ... like now ...

 

Cheers.

I can't relate.

but I used to like getting those salesmen calls as a kid.
I would talk with them for a long time and try to sell them something
ie: "Gee, that sounds swell. Ya know what goes good with Encyclapedias? Hot Pockets. I've got 3 limited edition, mint sealed boxes in my possession".

Or when the Army would call when I was in High School I would listen to their whole speech and then turn them down cuz I didn't want to just hang up one em - one time a guy showed up at my school looking for me the next day. So desperate to recruit everyone back then. No thanks, the only thing I'm dying for is a quarter-pounder with bacon & cheese.
