Her: I just need to ask you some verification questions. Is it ok if I call you Josh?
Me: Yes, of course.
Her: Okay then. Is this your primary credit card?
Me: Yes.
Her: And what kinds of things do you use it for?
Me: Uhhh, mostly online purchases.
Her: Oh neat. I’ve been getting into that too! It’s real handy.
Me: Uhh, yeah, cool.
Her: Okay, so I’ve sent that off and it will take a minute so while we’re waiting for the computer to do its thing, let me tell you about some insurance we offer for your card.
Her: Blah, blah, blah…so?
Me: Yeah, no thanks.
Her: Okay then, looks like it’s all done!
Me: (what convenient timing)
Best phone conversation while activating my Canadian credit card. My bank has apparently hired 50 year olds from Edmonton to answer their phones. Oh Canada, so quaint.
