The Mysteries of a Large Bank

[rowyn]

One of the oddities of working at a large bank is that, since I am doing reports that are viewed by far more people, I get a lot more questions about them. Naturally, I also get more of the same questions, over and over again, from different people.

 

And then there are the mystifying questions.

 

Loan Officer: "Why is this loan on my past due list? It's not matured!"
Me: "... because it's past due? Just like the other past-due-but-not-matured loan on your list of three past due loans?"

 

Loan Officer Assistant: "Why isn't Loan 123 on the matured loan list? It's matured! Oh, and so is 456. Why aren't they there?"
Me: " ... um. They are on the matured loan list. Right where they are supposed to be?"

 

I got nothin'.

Scott Adams has a lovely story where he complained to a tech about some 'broken' thing -- I forget what -- and the tech took the device, turned the piece Adams' had not inserted correctly around, and handed it back to him, now working. The moral of the story: we are all idiots some of the time. n_n
