Fuck you, shitty insurance company. My cellphone got stolen last weekend, and I heard back from my insurance company today about what (if any) money I would get from my insurance. Sure, cellphones get lost and stolen and broken all the time, but I figured I might aswell see if I could get anything out of it (my cell provider will probably give me a new phone with some sort of payment plan). The phone is worth about $190 (new), so that's how much I asked for. So they got back to me today (pretty fast moving, to their credit), and informed me that they would be happy to buy me a new phone (for $190) as long as I pay... $190 for excess damage (is that what it's called in English? The fee you have to pay when you claim something, like your "part" of the claim). So pay $190, get $190. I told them that sounded like a joke, and that I would get a new phone via my provider instead. I mean come on. Fuck you.
(I'm all worked up and confused, it's a lousy Monday, so I don't even know if I'm making any sense here. Forgive me.)
EDIT: I sound like such a crybaby. It's not the end of the world or anything. Just stupid. I'll live.
