State Farm Adds “Conehead Surcharge” to Customers’ Bills

Do you review the line-by-line charges on your monthly auto insurance statement?  Most most of us don’t, but Radon McChutney, an alert Parksplug reader who hails from Corkle Forks noticed a $3.50 “Conehead surcharge” buried deep within her State Farm bill.

We contacted the insurer for an explanation.

Radon McChutney noticed this Conehead surcharge on her monthly State Farm statement. She apparently didn’t notice, however, that she was charged twice for Property Damage.  Someone should tell her.

“We are proud to feature Beldar and Prymaat Conehead in our advertising because they’re representative of thousands of courageous immigrants who left their homes and fulfilled a dream of becoming proud American citizens,” said State Farm spokesman Elfego Hingeman, adding, “Our customers are honored to unwittingly financially support such diversity in television programming.”

When we called McChutney back to relay State Farm’s explanation, she said “Hello.”  We then said, “hello.” She said “hold on, I have another call.” We’re still holding on.
