Sales caller: "Hello you have been approved for a lower rate on your auto insurance. You can start saving money today by pressing one on your dial."
Grandma had gotten tired of getting these phones calls so she decided
to play a prank on the callers.
"Hello Agressive Insurance, do you have rates for wheelchairs and walkers?"
Salesperson. "Pardon we are offering rates on your automobile insurance, what company are you with now?"
"Sonny please tell me what the rates are for my walker and wheelchair, it is motorized you know. What I want to know is if
that old coot down the street runs into my chair and warps my walker am I covered?
"Pardon me, are you serious?"
"No I am 95 and I want to know if you have insurance for walkers and wheelchairs, of couse I am serious about that. Sonny you just can't get good chairs anymore. I ran into a tree and bent up my walker and had to get a new one. Will I have to pay more insurance."
"My supervisor is on the line, psst they must be nuts at that house."
"Nuts, no I don't want any they give me gas and that might make my wheelchair seat pad smell."
"Lady we sell automobile insurance and you must have a automobile."
"Now don't get all huffy sonny, my wheelchair has a motor and I can get up to 35 miles per hour in it, besides you have not told me if I can get insurance."

"Hello, hello, hehe and I bet they never call here again, I tried the do not call thing but they kept on calling.''
Grandaughter: "Gramma you are too much, I bet they don't call here again."
Next week Gramma takes on the Mortgage Companies. She thinks it would be cool to mortgage the Happy Seniors Nursing Home.
Author notes
I really did this for a 95 year old lady that kept getting those computer generated phone calls on insurance. She and I had a big laugh over it. I hope you will feel better too.
