Guy: I just passed the dumpster but there’s no address “8”. Ah, Address 8, Building 4, further past the sign. Ah, I see it. (Notice the ghetto “8” on the dumpster)

Guy: Excuse me? I’m looking for insurance in accordance with OSAGO (mandatory Russian auto insurance law).
Everyone bails.
Don’t want a problem with OSAGO? Buy a policy from a reliable company.
