State of Contentment: Being a Jerry

I've been seeing this commercial for State Farm insurance lately on television (away on business for a week and the hotel has cable) where a guy who has wrecked his car calls State Farm to report the incident and the State Farm agent reminds him that he has changed insurance companies. He cries and states that he misses the agent on the phone.

This commercial brings back the memory of when I switched from State Farm to GEICO. When I called to cancel they switched me over to the head agent in their office (which will remain nameless) who told me that I would be back.

This is just a little confirmation post to let the world know that switching from State Farm was the best move I ever made. I now have a choice to talk to a person or NOT. Which was the biggest problem with the State Farm agency that I was with. The only choice was to talk to one of the ladies (who were both very nice) but were instructed or otherwise motivated to give you the hard sell on insurance you didn't have... every time that you called... even just to pay your bill. After a while it got old telling them no repeatedly, because no the first time just isn't enough. Obviously I didn't realize how much I needed the insurance so they felt the need to tell me repeatedly. It got old. I switched. Never been happier!
