Not IT-related, but auto insurance:
I called my insurance company yesterday asking why my total auto insurance
policy premium had increased after dropping one car off (it was sold). I
was told that it was because I lost the multi-car discount. Now wait a
minute, I said, do you mean that the more cars I insure, the less the TOTAL
premium will be? I was told yes (the favorite quote part). So I asked how
many cars should I put on the policy until the premium gets to zero? She
told me to call my agent.
