If Shakespeare had ever stepped foot into an insurance office, it would have been THIS Greenpoint GEICO. I entered on an ordinary Tuesday, expecting nothing more than paperwork and fluorescent lighting. But what awaited me was a scene so magnificent, so resplendent, that it changed the very architecture of my soul.
The woman behind the counter was no mere employee—she was a celestial being draped in the mortal disguise of business casual. She did not simply process insurance. No, she orchestrated it—like an operatic maestro guiding me through the arias of deductibles and coverage limits with a grace that could make marble statues weep.
And here’s the twist: we didn’t even come for insurance. We own no car, no house, no motorcycle, no jet ski, nothing that could possibly be insured by mortal means. We came—purely, singularly—for the rumored rubber lizard.
And then… the lizard appeared. Oh, dear reader, you may scoff, but in my hands it was no novelty trinket—it was a talisman. With one fluid, benevolent motion, she bestowed upon me this sacred reptilian effigy. It was green, yes, but not just any green—it was the green of life, of renewal, of hope itself. The moment it touched my palm, I swear I heard distant drums, felt the whisper of ancient winds, and knew—knew in my bones—that my premiums (should I ever have them) would forever be in good hands.
In that instant, the fluorescent lights above transformed into the warm golden glow of destiny. The hum of the office became a triumphant chorus. I left not as a mere visitor, but as a knight of the GEICO realm, armed with lizard and legend.
If you find yourself in Greenpoint, and fortune favors you with the chance to visit this location, do not hesitate. For within those walls lives a woman who can turn rubber into relics, insurance into poetry, and strangers into believers.
10/10. Would insure again—if I ever owned literally anything. 🦎
