combining lives
Me: “Hi, I recently got married. My wife and I are both customers of 21st Insurance, and we’d like to combine our accounts…”
Call center lady (Paraphrase): Sure! Here, let me apply her teacher discount to you and your car as well, then give you a multi-car discount, change her last name [with no paperwork!], and you’re all set!

Me: “Hi, I recently got married. My wife and I are both Worldvision sponsers, and we’d like to combine our accounts…”
Call center lady (Paraphrase:) Um, I’m sorry, we can’t actually do that. Would you like us to give you a call when we upgrade our computer systems and can?”
Me: “Uh, sure. Can we at least stop getting duplicate magazines?”
Call center lady: Oh… okay, that we can do.
I can live with that.
ah, the ins and outs of combining lives… Becky, at least you aren’t a student right now, ’cause that is WAY too comlicated. You’d have thought Whitworth had never seen a married couple before.
Heehee, becky the baker… heehee
I noticed you read tiny kingdom and waiterrant. Did you get those from my blog? I love them.
p.s. thanks for the scotvet link!
Amazing that the insurance company did not require paperwork to change Becky’s name! I’m still trying to get 2 companies to change my name. I sent in paperwork, and they apparently didn’t notice or something.
