    I had Allstate for homeowners insurance. Hail storms, wind storms, etc etc, they’d all say “this roof has another 10 years”. After a bad hail storm an adjustor came out and outright contradicted himself on what is and isn’t hail damage. Denied a claim.

    A couple years later we got the tail ends of a hurricane. Trees down, tore off an awning, the works. Adjustor comes out and says it’s not enough damage to replace the roof, only minor repairs on 2 slopes. I fought that shit for 15 months. 2 more adjustors came out and the last one I specifically pointed out new water damage on the ceilings in 4 separate locations in 4 separate rooms. At one point they said “why didn’t you put a tarp up?” To which I replied “why should I put a tarp up if there was no roof damage?”

    They finally agreed to a new roof, and had to pay out to repair ceiling damage.

    A month after construction was complete I cancelled the plan and moved to USAA (who is also a pain). I would still occasionally get calls from the local Allstate rep asking about switching back to which I tell them to fuck off.

        Oh yeah, I had lightning strike a tree which jumped to the AC then some other electrical. Fried the AC, a tv, my security DVR, new GPU and 1 other small thing. I had an AC guy come out and declare it dead. She fucked around for a couple weeks, wouldn’t follow up, then went on vacation for 2 weeks, and when she got back they had to send out their own tRuStEd HVAC guy to do an inspection that I was not allowed to be in attendance for.

        I finally got a new AC and everything was replaced but holy fuck that’s a nightmare to go through for something simple

        His Civ6 mods were pretty good, too!

        EDIT: Okay, I was apparently misinformed in some way into believing that the plumber was the same person as the Civ modder. I had to get this corrected, but I will choose to continue believing in this ironically, because it is funny

        I hope knowing how much people appreciate him helps at least a little. Considering what he’s living through now.

        I mean, he really should’ve ditched the evidence. Getting away with it is a lot better than not. I don’t think it’d take much speculation to get the correct answer as to why someone would shoot a health insurance exec, so no real need for the manifesto, either.
