ever been told you are dead (true story)

While at the kennels a letter came from Npower saying how they were sorry to hear of my passing and sent their deepest sympathy to my wife and family.

A few sentences further on as I had passed away would those dealing with my estate please at the earliest opportunity settle up with the amount owed to them in the inclosed bill.

So I rang them back and it went like this

Them "hello you have got through to NPower how can we help you"

That hit my funny spot

" I hope you can help me "says I " can you please revive me?"

them "erm what do you mean revive you?
"
me "Well according to the letter you sent I am dead, and never had a chance to say goodbye to my wife"


Complete silence on the other end then "what do you mean your dead?"
Me " well that is what you are telling me"
them " i think we have made an error, lets check the records. You and MR ***** ?"

"No" says I and put on pressure

Me "no, and you have caused great upset in the household especially to my wife. So I am sending this letter to my solicitors to bring some sort of legal action against your company after I have talked with him"

them "oh Oh so so sorry we have made a mistake ,would you accept some financial compensation"

yes please and got a wad of money off them

No comment to offer on that one above. But there is a psychiatric condition where people honestly believe they are dead. It is called Cotard's Delusion.

Seriously, Keezoy? I have never come across that one before. Must be very distressing for them and their families.

Keezoy - Have just 'googled' Cotard's - not because I did not believe you but just out of interest. What a frightening condition for all concerned!
