"Your vehicle is used for transportation of passengers for hire."
WTF? (oh, that means What The Fiddle-sticks, dad) I mean, how could that even happen? So, I call our agent and speak with his assistant (who sounds twelve) and find out that "somebody" reported us for using our car as a "taxi". No shit. I was like, "Who accuses some random person of being a taxi driver? What motivates someone to accuse another of this apparent violation of an insurance agreement?" And she was all, "I don't know, why don't I ask *Paul and get back to you." And I replied, "Sounds like a plan." It turns out that our adjustor (from the accident involving the drunk driver plowing into our car parked in the street) said that there were "signs" that our car was a taxi. When I asked if he meant actual, physical signage, as in a display used to identify or advertise a place of business or a product (such as a taxi service) or something material or external that stands for or signifies something (such as a taxi service) she said she wasn't sure which he meant but would I please drive the car over so she could take a look "just to be sure." The bloody hell? Theoretically, couldn't I simply remove the "signs" (whatever they may be) of my taxi service prior to running my car over? Let me clarify that I am not, in fact, a taxi driver. I'm just sayin'. I brought it to her this morning and in her twelve-year-old expert opinion, it turns out that I am not a taxi driver. Whew! I ought to report them to someone but I just don't have the time (or really the inclination) to do that. So, I'm just letting you all know that there are people out there who will wantonly spread the rumor that a person is a taxi driver. Sure, it began with me but the real question is who is next? Who is next, indeed.
