I’ll start. Booked a hotel next weekend via a big blue hotel booing site. Get a phone call today from the accomodation provider asking for payment. Told them to take it via the booking site. They say no, and I will lose my reservation. Booking site says pay the accomodation direct. Go on the accomodation site and I can’t book for the days I wanted. WTF arrrrrgh.

It's insurance. They cover basic stuff like maybe a written letter, simple advice, stuff like that. Well worth it if you do the math. One answered question can save you hundreds, maybe thousands, of dollars.

"But I don't want to sue anyone!"

Neither do I, and I'm not wealthy. But having a solid backing is worth the money. Have a lawyer on your side and you'll quickly see why the rich are rich and we're fucked.

Not here to sell this shit. Y'all do you.
