Keep an eye on USAA. I've had them for years too, but have had nothing but problems with them for the past two years. They've outsourced their assessors and their customer service was horrible. I am actively looking around for another provider, which is disappointing because they used to be great.

Learn how to correct the record without contradicting the person. E.g... yes and we also can do b,c,d or I was also thinking that we could x,y,z or we actually can now do x instead, it's faster... Generally there are diplomatic ways of ensuring the audience leaves with the right information and no one felt contradicted

Reply to comment by VilleIn97 in LPT: When putting pillows in pillow cases, put the side with the tag in first. That way, the tag won’t potentially touch your face when you sleep. The tag will be at the closed end of the pillow case! by kevingh92

Cut off the tag AND the zipper. When one problem is solved another is created.

We have Plymouth Rock. 3 vehicles (2020, 2015, 2003) with very high coverage levels. Paying $1,815 per year. Find an agent that carries multiple lines. Mine has Plymouth Rock, MAPFRE and Arbella. Start getting quotes 60 days before your policy expires. Also it is definitely NOT all about price, you need to understand your coverage and know what you’re buying before an accident happens.

Pop into your chemist and ask to speak to the pharmacist. Describe your problem. They will recommend a suitable dressing.

Marriage is the other one. Within a month of dating my first girlfriend all my stupid married/engaged friends started saying “you’re next herr herr herr”. Yeah righto.

Me too! When I got married my husband switch to my plan and canceled his State Farm coverage. His agent asked him who he was switching to and when my husband said USAA his agent sounded defeated when he responded "Oh. Well, I don't blame you, we can't beat
USAA rocks.

I’ve heard that, too. Do you know why antibiotic ointment isn’t being recommended? I can Google it but thought I’d ask.

I'm 31 and never wanted children and still don't, my partner even had a vasectomy! But no, people still asks us because a vasectomy is reversable...

Or just cut it off. There's no reason to keep them after you've bought the pillow; same for mattresses and toys.

Reply to LPT: When you’re traveling, don’t bring all of your charging cords individually. Get a surge protector and plug them all in to that, and plug the SP into the outlet at your destination. Saves a lot of annoyance trying to find an outlet for each cord around the room. by [deleted]
No no no no no.
But a travel usb adapter. Either one with a couple of usb- c ports or one with a couple of usb-a and a usb-c port. Finished. Done.

Why do you still have the tags on your pillows?

Going to disagree with you on the unbeatable part there. I think they were a solid third when I did my shopping around last year.

Yup. I considered changing when I moved to Virginia. I’ve had Nationwide all my life and Costco and Geico came in at the exact same price I was already paying. I liked my agent, and she ended up saving my ass twice over the years, so it was definitely the right move.
Shop around. Find what’s best FOR YOU.
I still have Nationwide. They consistently come in as the cheapest or within $3-4 a month of it and their customer service has been top notch.

I can attest to that. find regular happiness, dream jobs are a nightmare

Replace 'children' with 'degree' when responding. "Oh when are you getting your degree. You will never regret it and it is never too late". Of course this all happens in my head. But maybe someone else can use this tip.
