A quick definition of vexatious delay:

Term: VEXATIOUS DELAY

Definition: Vexatious delay is when an insurance company doesn't want to pay for a claim, even though there is no good reason for them to refuse. They might just have a feeling that the claim isn't real, but they don't have any proof. This is not fair to the person who made the claim, and it's called vexatious delay or refusal to pay.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Vexatious delay refers to an insurance company's refusal to pay a claim without any valid reason or evidence that the claim is not legitimate. This delay can cause frustration and inconvenience to the policyholder.

Example: John's house was damaged in a storm, and he filed an insurance claim to cover the cost of repairs. However, the insurance company refused to pay the claim, citing a lack of evidence that the damage was caused by the storm. Despite John providing photos and eyewitness accounts, the insurance company continued to delay payment, causing him significant stress and financial strain.

Explanation: In this example, the insurance company's refusal to pay John's claim without any valid reason or evidence is an example of vexatious delay. The company's actions caused John frustration and inconvenience, as he was left to deal with the damage to his home without the financial support he was entitled to under his insurance policy.

Someone told me a while ago that I was probably molested as a kid because I don’t really have any clear memories of my childhood. But I don’t think I was.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
