I don't really like Boney M's music. (but I'm fairly sure I'm going to be waking up to Rivers of F***ing Babylon at some point in the night) Oh my lord. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Credit Card “Fraud Departments” are possibly the lowest form of life. They explained why a transaction was blocked… Citibank: Well, any transaction over $500 is subject to scrutiny. Me: So the repeated transactions over the last few months for thousands to pay rent should have caused an alert? Citibank: Yes. Me: They didn’t. Citibank: We’ve improved the system. Me: So when you sent me a message asking if I recognized a charge, and I replied Yes, and you told me to retry to charge? Citibank: We have to talk you you first. Me: So why did it say retry? Citibank: We’re improving the system. Me: (says some things that result in Citibank hanging up for “abuse”…the final straw was apparently calling the system “stupid”) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the answer? (I’ve tried substituting x for a number but then the formula doesn’t make sense). 52 years since I did my maths O grade and I don’t think I’ve ever had to use algebra irl. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it all came back to me eventually, although the graphing bit was keen to establish the bits where the line broke the x and y axis which meant substituting 0 in for x and y, so y = 15 and x = -3 and -5. It all seemed a bit much. It got worse where you had to do it the other way round and get equation back to the wee brackety jobbies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
