A lot of you guys know I work for one of the big auto insurance companies. The other day I'm wearing my VH 2007 tour shirt (casual day) and an older lady adjuster stops me to tell me a wonderful story....
Years ago she was doing a sit along with a young trainee girl. Listening on the phone & assisting her. ANyways she gets a call from a person filing a claim for auto damage. Well the guy is only a rep and we can't speak to him without authorization from the policyholder. The rep doesn't wanna give up the contact info at first but finally relents. The trainee says she will call to get auth to speak to rep & then call rep back.
She calls out and asks for Mr. Edward Vann Haulin please.....(the older adjuster is trying to whisper to the girl "its Eddie fucking Van Halen you idiot!"). Adjuster isn't supposed to talk until call is ended, but she's flipping out the whole time like any of us would be. The man says yes, Im Edward. So the trainee starts to get the basic info about the car damages.
Edward - "man, I had a few drinks & slipped a little off the road on Coldwater and hit some bushes"
Trainee - "Sir, you really shouldn't be driving after you've had drinks"
Edward - "I was coming home from a concert"
Trainee - "Oh that's nice. So you went to a concert?"
Edward - "Uhh, yeah something like that (chuckling)"
Trainee - "Well thank you for your time sir. I will be contacting your rep immediately to complete the claim"
