Hello, McFly!



Nationwide Insurance was nice enough to call me from their automated call center to tell me about their great new rates for safe drivers who are accident-free.

Unfortunately, I was unable to listen to their pre-recorded message because I was driving down the highway when they called!

Somebody at Nationwide is getting paid way too much money not to think that genius idea all the way through!

Anyone home, McFly?

I am fed up with the pre-recorded messages I have been receiving the last two years.

If you had crashed, maybe Nationwide would backdate your insurance so you could claim. Worth a shot.

Haha... I've been lucky enough not to get any of those on my cell phone... knock on wood.

It is almost as if I should have a phone message answer my phone by default, and let the messages 'chat'. I should only pick up the phone as a second option.

Hey Russ,

Pre-recorded messages are the tool of the devil!

As to your 2nd comment, I ALWAYS do that! I'm terrible about screening my calls!

Hey Lawn,

Yeah, but in that case, I would probably just take advantage of our letigation-happy society and just try suing the crap out of Nationwide!

Not exactly WWJD - but I gotta pay for Tate's college somehow!

Hey Josh,

I would be happy to give them your cell phone number if you want!

Thanks for stopping by!
