A customer in Phoenix insisted his dent was from a meteorite

This guy, let's call him Bob, brought in a Honda Civic with a small, deep dent on the hood. He was dead serious, telling me he saw a 'flash in the sky' and heard a 'ping' while driving on the I-10 last Tuesday. He wanted the repair estimate to say 'meteorite strike' for his insurance. I had to explain it was just a rock chip from a gravel truck, but he wouldn't budge. Anyone else ever get a story that wild for a simple fix?

Next level" is right, but honestly I get why he'd want that on the insurance form. I mean, "meteorite strike" sounds way more like an act of god than "rock chip from a truck," maybe he thought it'd get him a better payout or something. People come up with the wildest reasons to avoid the boring truth.
