Okay, let me also fess up that during the week my dad fell and passed away, I rear ended somebody....not just anybody, but my postal carrier....in his private vehicle....on his way home. Okay not the best of month, February.
He decided to contact a local, advertise-on-TV, law firm that specializes in ambulance chasing. I'm covered with insurance so no worries. They sent me a form letter requesting basic info, like....."were you at fault"....etc.
I ignored it. So a week later they called. And this is where the fun begins.
(them) Mr SUAVE?
(me) yes {Note they have my name spelled incorrectly, but we'll keep that a secret till later}
(t) Can I ask you a few questions about your accident?
(m) No
(t) We're just trying to clarify a few things.
(m) Sorry you're confused
(t) uh, well we just want to hear your side of the incident
(m) good
(t) would you mind telling us what happened?
(m) yes
(t) {long pause} Mr. Suave
(m) yes
(t) {more pause} We're just making sure we have all the facts.
(m) good thing to do.
(t) So if you'll just help us with a few questions.
(m) no
(t) Uh, well, uh, could you tell us who your insurance agent is?
(m) No
(t) You don't know who your insurance agent is?
(m) As I said at the very beggining, I'm not willing to answer any questions.
(t) Uh, Mr SUAVE, you don't have to be ugly, we're just trying to clear some things up. Perhaps we're going about this in the wrong manner.
(m) Perhaps you are.
(t) Then maybe you could help us......
(m) Are you offering to hire me as a consultant?
(t) {very long pause} <click>
