Back in the day, while taking an auto insurance application by phone, I asked a client if his wife was employed? He said no, and she said, ” YES I AM!” (this is dating myself, it was back when Roseanne Barr<\/a> was doing her stand up.) The wife says, “I’m a DOMESTIC GODDESS!<\/a>” We all laughed, and then she said. “Put that on the application.” So I did, marked her as employed, and moved on. I really didn’t think twice about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few days later, an underwriting associate at the firm I was with came over to my section, and with their boss, and my boss, and my bosses boss and they kept looking at me while I was on another sales call. Finally my boss came over, and said to not take another call. Needless to say, I finished the call sweating bullets, wondering what could have happened that 1\/2 the management team was in my section waiting for me?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turns out “Domestic Goddess” is not a job, and cannot go onto an auto insurance application.\u00a0 Who knew?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
