Posted by Samurai i've had my own insurance since 1992 and was with Allstate which wasn't bad. I moved to Tennessee in 2000 and dropped all insurance (TN didn't require auto insurance) and then went NY Mutual (NY Extortion more like it) when I moved back to NY. After that, i was with State Farm for almost 10 years. I had three windshield claims, one deer strike claim ($1500) and a vandalism claim ($1800) in that time... I had a couple of tickets, but i fought them and had them reduced to non-speeding. Anyways, my insurance kept going up and up and up. It went from $145 to $167 and then finally $190 a month. In August I had had enough when my agent couldn't explain my rates kept going up. I was/am 37 years old, been driving since I was 15, licensed since 16 and a pretty good driving record. I packed it in after 9.5 years and went with Esurance. My payment with them, for the same coverage, is $93 a month for both cars. I have liability on the Beretta (NY required) and comprehensive on the 07 Cobalt with a $500 deductible. (the body shop i go to always works around the deductible). i read an article somewhere that says if your bill is getting ridiculous to shop around.

Yeah, that's the plan... sometime when I get a spare moment :/ I've never made a claim, and only have a ticket that doesn't count for any demerit points. I know insurance will go down when I turn 25, but I think it's silly that it's getting this expensive, especially considering how much cheaper it was when I was more of an at-risk driver.

Thank God I don't have to change my address to Toronto while I'm here for school...I was talking to a co-worker who has to pay $370/month for insurance, plus an extra 60/year for plate renewal because of being in Toronto. Ewwww.

Posted by rainman8889 They are assholes. I used to work shift work and there were a few 'friends' and family members who figured that I was on midnight shift so that I can be their personal servant. When I refused to spend my entire sleeping time running errands for them, they got pissed off. Needless to say, I'm not associating with them anymore. As someone who owned a pickup, I had too many people criticize me for owning it. But when moving day comes, suddenly I'm the best buddy in the whole f**king world. That is until I tell them no, I'm not coming out to help and no, I'm not loaning the truck to them.

Luckily I've gotten a lot better over the years about saying no. Lost a lot of "friends" who only wanted me around when I could drive them around, but ah well. I think most people know better than to even consider the thought of me lending them my vehicle -- only my Dad and bandi have driven my Jetta, and will be the only people to drive it other than myself.

I've gotten insanely busy with school and work lately so I haven't been around for them to pester for favours luckily. Still have til next September to live with them, so we'll see how it goes. But Toronto is making me more of a bitch to people who don't matter, lol.

We have a neighbor that lives below us that, for some reason, has a screen door on her apartment that faces into a blank hall. No reason other than to have it SLAM every fucking time she comes home.

Which is all hours of the day.

A 7 AM wake-up to this loud twat and her fucking door was just a lovely start to my day.

Someone tell white people that playing air-drums-guitar-bass and lead singer is not dancing.

My neighbour slams her door all day every day, no matter what time of day it is. She does it for fun...and then she'll even make some comment right before doing it. Or the thing I love the most is when she jangles her friggin keys for 5 minutes straight and then enters her apartment and slams her door. I just love her.

Yours sounds like a real treat, too.

Mine is an obnoxious bitch, even her relatives can't stand her. Some of the things she does that make her such a delightful neighbor:

-Slam her door constantly
-Go off on tirades that can be heard halfway across the parking lot...with windows/doors shut!
-Cackle like a hyena at all hours of the night...which can be heard up in our apartment like she was right in there with us.
-Have the gall to complain about US making noise during daylight hours
-Stands out in the parking lot on her cellphone talking very loudly about stuff I don't think anyone cares to hear about (like shaving her hairy "jungle bush" as she put it, for example) Mind, this woman is all of 5' and looks like Roseanne Barr, but possibly fatter.
-Bitch at all other neighbors for making noise, talking in the parking lot, etc.
-Heckling my boyfriend and I from her porch while we were detailing my car, making snide comments that "It's just a Neon, not a fuckin' Ferrari" (Yeah, because your duct-tape-mobile Windstar is a real prize to drive, you loud cunt)
-Once called and reported we were having a wild party...when we were in another state visiting my family (and no one here but the cat).

I make sure some days when I'm feeling extra vindictive to wear my steel-toed work boots and stomp extra loud down the steps and past her door.

^ Go to barber shop. Get lots of hair. Get zipties (metal type used for securing trailer doors on big rigs, otherwise plastic will work) sneak under her sweet sweet ride. Ziptie many clumps of hair to exhaust right under her driverside door area. Watch her leave. Wait for her to ger home. Video tape her ranting about her nasty smelling shaggin waggon. Video tape it. ?????? Profit? Hope she trades it "straight up" for a moped. Laugh.

We had Sirius at a store I used to work at for years and the closest thing they aired to a commercial was something to the effect of "You're listening to station (whatever)" and that was it. Was that it or did they start airing actual advertisements?

I work in a blood donor center.

It pisses me off when I tell someone they can't donate for one reason or another, and they pitch a fit saying stuff like "well I should've just lied" or "so-and-so let me donate last time".

Yeah, because we want your potentially tainted blood getting into the blood supply and potentially making someone else sicker than they already are, all so you can get a few hours off of work.

Reading gibberish messages that contain the annoying "jejejejejejejeje" or "jajajajajaja"

when they merged with XM... XM has a bunch of channels that have stupid commercials. You find them mostly on the channels that cater to the hillbilly-esque.
if you think that's bullshit, wait until you have to deal with Apu, i mean Ken, in their billing department, somewhere in India.

I've had a headache for six days. I'm so over it.

People who can't pry themselves away from texting on their cellphones for 10 seconds to cross a street safely.
If you fuckers get used as a speed-bump please don't cry to me.
I'll be too busy laughing at your expense.
