       | I had a time when I was late making a payment and she was pretty
       | abusive about it even though I was offering to pay right away.
       | 
       | I've talked to many people in business who were frustrated about
       | a payment being past due but until then everyone I met was 100%
       | cool after I told them it was a mistake and payment in full was
       | immediately forthcoming.
       | 
       | I've been thinking about changing my insurance but there are
       | numerous features about my house that make it hard to insure,
       | such as the fact that it doesn't have central heat. (I've got the
       | same propane heater you see in many anime and also two wood
       | stoves though.) It is coming up in February and maybe this year I
       | will look for a new agent.

         | and nobody with State Farm got what they should have (if
         | anything at all) unless they sued for it. Everyone with Farmers
         | got what they should have, and in a timely manner.

         | Agreed. The first words are:

         | > I doubt this story will be of interest to anyone but me
         | 
         | If you read past that, you have nobody to blame but yourself.

         | Personally, I enjoyed the read. I tend to enjoy people
         | discussing how they resolved problems, the steps they took, and
         | the outcome; so I may be biased.
