Snotty insurance cold caller

<p>I've just received a call from Standard Bank Insurance Brokers. From the outset this caller struggled to get my name right. He then said that he was "asked to give me a call to see if he can save me money on my vehicle insurance", thus giving me the impression that he was in fact being coerced to do this.</p> <p>His disposition was sullen and short. When I responded that I was already insured through King Price, he lost his temper and snapped back: "Yes, I understand that. But what I said was, I am phoning to see if I can save you money on your current insurance."</p> <p>Okay, so wait what?! An insurance salesman from the insurance division of my bank is calling me, unsolicited, to drum up new business, and then has the absolute temerity to be short with me on the phone?! Really ..?!</p>

Reviewer Update
This was a review I wrote in July of 2017, and you're only coming back to me now? Wow. Leave it. I won't be taking up Standard Bank's insurance offering in any case. You guys are always more expensive on your quotes than other providers, for exactly the same, or lesser cover -- be it life insurance, home insurance, building insurance or car insurance.
