Being that there has been a bit of insurance company slating i'd though i'd redress the balance a bit and give you guys an insight into the idiots i (we) have to deal with on a regular basis. woman phones up enquiring how to submit an injury claim- her labrador has whiplash guy calls to complain his hire car is unsuitable for his job-when asked he says he needs a large dark car with tinted windows,and then admits on tape its because he is a drug dealer a policyholder reports he hit a parked car,causing it to over turn and roll into a field taking with a fence and badly injuring the occupant,then insists he was doing 'less than 30mph' yeah right snooty woman has head on with another car and wonders why we can't find the other person from the information she gave us.ever tried explaining how difficult it would be to find ' a surfer type dude driving a red car possibly an escort ,and he might come from newquay' with no reg or phone number. policyholder reports damage to bonnet ,front bumper,both front wings,both n/s doors ,tailgate and all the wiper arms,due to '3 people having sex on the car at 3.30 in the afternoon in a quiet sidestreet ' ;D unemployed man who is on the dole wanted to make a claim for loss of earnings-his excuse was ' well i might have got a well paid job this week' you might not have either mate so sod off punter calls to complain his hire car is unsuitable and demands a like for like car which he thinks he is entitled too (he's not) but we cave in eventually and give him a newer version of his own car (a freelander) he then calls back to complain that its too new and the switches are in different places and because of that his wife can't drive it!!! wtf and you think you've got problems with US ? think again. ;D
