Insurance calls!!...assurance or assault?
I am sure everyone of us might have received calls from telemarketers trying to sell insurance at some point or the other. Like everyone else, I am not spared either. I have been getting these insurance calls for long time, but the one I received last weekend was an ultimate(baap) of all insurance calls which I got till now.
After many weeks, last weekend I got time to sit with my friends and was having a good time chatting and relaxing. It was a cloudy Sunday afternoon and things were going on slow and relaxed. What else can one expect on a gloomy Sunday? At that point my phone rang.....and the story starts...........
Telemarketer(TM): Hello, I am calling from XYZ bank and are introducing a new insurance scheme especially for you.
Me: Thank you, but I have enough insurances to keep me covered and I am not interested in any more.
TM: Sir, this is not for everyone, its only introduced for certain privileged customers like you.
Me: But I have enough to keep me covered.
TM: The things we offer is not there in any other insurance policies and we are the first to introduce such things.
Me: See boss, I have 3 LIC policies which cover me in case of my death and an accident/Medical policy which will cover for my medical bills and etc. in case of any hospitalization.
TM: Sir, the Accident and Medical policy which you have will not cover you in case of death in an accident.
(Here, I should appreciate the fact that the telemarketer was very professional and was saying "I am sorry" before he says "In case of death". I understood that he is doing this duty.)
Me: No, It covers me in case of death in an accident.
TM: Sir, we also cover you in case of natural death.
(At this point he realized that he forgot to ask me something)
TM: Sir, can I know your age?
Me: 27 years(Almost laughing). Come on man, This is not it, I told you that I have my LIC's that will take care of it.
(He thought for few seconds and came up with his ultimate weapon that he thought might work)
TM: All the policies that you will cover you if a death occurs naturally or by accident....but...
(I was just imagining what offer he might give me as there was no card left unturned)
TM: but....we cover you also in case of a Suicide.
That was it, I could not stop laughing and had no words to say. I laughed so hard that I could not utter a word and even not for laughing my mind was out of words.
I couldn't do anything else but hanging up the phone.
