Last year, about a week after Jess' accident...
...I answered the phone to a call-centre chap who politely told me that he was trying to make sure I had a good deal on life insurance and did I currently have any life insurance?

"No" I told him, "because I'm currently waiting for a claim to be settled, my girlfriend was killed in a car accident last week"

As you can imagine, that stopped him in his tracks. He sputtered something along the lines of "Oh. Oh boy... Oh boy, sorry sir" and hung up.

Even at the time, I remember feeling that with his use of "Oh boy" he'd strangely endeared himself to me... typing it now, I just feel like I was unfairly cunty to him O_o
