First one:
Answer the phone, do the opening greeting, SC's on the other line planning hubby's flights and ignores the fact that she's on the phone to me. A couple of hello's follow, and not even an acknowledgement.
Right, there's too many calls in the queue to waste my time on you. Call ended.
Second one:
Hubby ring to add wife to policy. He was pretty cool. Then wife comes on the phone so I can do the privacy spiel. She starts off huffing (she had one of those upper class accents too) that she had to be disturbed to be on the phone getting her name added to a policy. First, she doesn't want me to read the spiel, so I reply that she won't be on the policy then. After a huff and an 'oh alright' I read the spiel.
Her response, 'I think I'll get my half of the car insured with another company'. I explain that's not possible, and by now, even hubby's yelling at her, ' just say yes' in a 'don't waste the poor guy's time' tone. So I get a sooky 'oh alright, am I done now', to which I say yes, and she goes 'good, goodbye' and hangs up.
By now I was glad that even her own husband was putting her back in her box!

He is my Black Dragon (and yes, a good one) strong, protective, the guardian. I am his Silver Dragon, always by his side, shining for him, cherishing him.
