I just spent thirty minutes of my life going through an “online insurance application process” AND WHEN YOU GET TO THE LAST STEP IT’S A MOTHERFUCKING PHONE CALL.
I HATE EVERYTHING.
**OH SHIT****
I get the phone call and of course it’s a shit connection so there’s a bunch of awkward “hello?” “is anybody there?” “hello?” etc at the start which takes my stress about the call from a 6 to a 10 immediately.
Guess what happens next??? Please guess. Amuse me. Put it in the comments.

We have to go through the ENTIRE online application again, that’s what happens next.
So filling it out online is a complete waste of fucking time. And they don’t tell you that until the very. last. step.
So I’m trying to be patient with this person who has no idea what he just called, and I’m fucking PISSED. He tries to get me to add home insurance to my auto and I’m like “no, I don’t want that, which is why I declined it on the online form!”
We finally get to the last question ---- and I’m not being facetious or exaggerating, by the way, he made me answer every single question again on the phone ---- he puts me on hold. so i’m sitting here wasting my life on hold. and then this mfer comes back and he says they’re unable to check my driving record. So I said yeah, I just moved back from the US which is why I need to insure the vehicle. And then he says that I have to get a driving abstract and letter of experience from the state of Michigan and they can’t help me. I admit, I got really pissed then. I said, “why wasn’t this mentioned before? Why didn’t this pop up online? What a tremendous waste of time for me! I spent all that time working on forms and then re-doing the entire thing and nobody thought to say anything before now? What a waste of time for me!!” I was so upset and I could hear myself escalating which is why I repeated that it was a waste of my time.
He said he would email me the things I need to request. I said thanks and hung up the call. FUCK. YOU. Though at least he emailed me immediately as promised.
So then I look it up: 8 weeks if I want to request the information online, or instant if I go in person. So now I have to wait 2 more weeks to go to Michigan and when I do that, I’ll be transferring the title AND requesting a record / abstract / whateverthefuck. But it’s not clear if I can get the specific type of driving record at SOS or if that’s also a separate 8-week request. I”M SO FRUSTRATED.
But nothing I can do about it. My ex will keep me on the insurance for now and I just xferred the money for it. I am already trying to limit my driving because of gas so shouldn’t be hard to keep doing that while I wait.
Stuff like this makes me feel so stupid and incapable. I’m really struggling with stuff this week and future-thinking is not coming to me very easily. this was a set-back for sure.
