So I have this new homeowners insurance policy, new company, same agency I’ve had forever.
I got a note from the agent: the company wanted to know why I had a mailing address that was different from my street address? Was that where I wanted my mail sent?
Wait what?! Where on earth did they get that? No, we’ve lived in this house 31 years and have no intention of moving, where did that come from?
And then I looked up the address he’d referenced. Bffffft!
It was, get this, not only in the next town over, it was the chapel there of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. They were billing the Mormon Church for our house.
I emailed the guy back and told him just where that address was.
He burst out laughing, he told me.
Just like I had.
Did the church have a policy through their agency? The insurer? I wondered. I told him, I actually am a Mormon, but I go to the one in my own city. (I didn’t bore him with the details of, except for the biannual stake conference–that’s there. The family history satellite center, too, for anybody at all who wants to access the huge genealogy database.)
He had NO idea how that got into the system, just, none, and neither did I, but he was happy to straighten that out for me, and now he’s got an office story for the ages.
