   If I were you I’d just start shopping around that parking lot for a better car. I’m sure you can find an auto-body place to fix a broken window for cash.

   They say they’ll save you money, but then if you have a claim they’ll eat you alive. I was rear-ended by a Geico customer and the hassle of everything was really, really frustrating. I wanted to spank our claims representative in the face.

   Well that is how they keep their rates low, they never pay out….lol.

   Aleric, no need to lol, it’s true. GEICO paid out when I had two minor accidents in one year way back when…then canceled my coverage.

   @MC Mom

   I beleive you. In my limited dealings with my insurance company I have found that they expect to do as little as possible while blaming the insuree for wasting thier time even when the accident is not their fault.

   Warren Buffet didn’t get that rich by paying off for fender benders. Well, he was rich before GEICO but…

   I wish I was Warren Buffet. Maybe not old and living in Nebraska but the money part. I guess I’d live in Nebraska. Where am I going with this?

   I was called by a Geico telemarketer once who told me I was going to save X dollars if I switched. I asked the telemarketer “how can I expect a credabile response to any claim to my insurance provider if they are represented by a lizard and a cave man?” He couldn’t answer and they didn’t get my money.

   This is just another internet based company preying in those who want something quick and fast.

    I didn’t look at the pictures. Does it look like a little GEICO caveman with really sweet hair or something?

    The only thing that this is missing is “Fail,” in red letters, in the corner of the pic.

    Wow…I’m glad I never had a claim when I was with Geico after reading these stories. I admit, the gecko sucked me in initially. The cavemen? Not so much.

    Although pretty funny at first glance, I wonder if the sign is meant for non-GEICO customers. We have signs like this in our underground parking at work (Building Management not responsible…).

    Nope. Employees at this location park outside the garage in a big paved lot. The garage is for drive-up claims customers only. Pretty surreal, no?

    Good idea! We just submitted this version to the FAIL Blog at http://www.failblog.org:

    Awesome! I’m putting one of these signs on my garage door. Then when anyone parks in my driveway I’m gonna kick the holy crap out of their car. Then sell it for parts. Right now I’m thinking sister-in-law.

    Thank you for turning me onto fail. That is too freaking cool.
    Fortunate Son? Thanks for the Edward’s updates. I was wondering where you ran off to.
    As for Geico, someone insured with them hit my mom. Apparently, the person had to pay all the expenses out of pocket then get reimbursed by Geico. I have State Farm because I don’t have several thousand dollars set aside to pay for fender benders up front.

    @Queen Bee check out the LOLcats on that same site (look on the brown bar at the top)…..those are my wife’s favorites, she is LOLcat junky….very sad

    I feel much better knowing that I could assist two of my favorite sites with one post. Awesome.

    I love my insurance company. USAA has been nothing but excellent with me and my wife.
