One other thing that was kinda funny. You know when you call the bank, you punch in your account number and then go through a 5 minute auto responder, “Press 1 for this” and “Press 2 for that”, well that didn’t happen. Each time I called the bank, someone picked up the phone within a few seconds. I finally realized that since my account was flagged as late, they were sure quick to deal with me.

Years ago, I had an email signature that said, “If you think no one loves you, try missing a car payment.” lol

How about that…funny.

Credit card companies are funny too.
When I call in to pay the month’s charges the automated response asks me to enter or say my account number. I dutifully enter rather than say to eliminate any problem. After entering, a live person picks up and asks for my account number. I always ask if there’s a problem and why didn’t it bring up my account when I entered it as initially asked. I think they just like to keep the caller busy until they can respond to the call.
