Financial responsibility can mean very different things to different people.

The following story involves a call center employee who received a call from a customer.

The customer was questioning a mark on his credit report, so he reviewed the account and discovered the customer had never made a single payment on his car loan.

Yikes! Let’s take a closer look.

“You got the car back so what’s the problem?”

I worked in a call center for a bank.

My man called in.

He was wondering why something from us is showing up on his credit report and negatively impacting him.

I looked him up.

This employee reminded the customer that he hadn’t made a single payment.

Me: “Well, sir, you defaulted on a vehicle loan.”

Customer: “Yeah, I got the car loan from you last year.”

Me: “And you never made a single payment.”

Customer: “Right. I only needed the car for a few months so I let you repo it after I was done.

The customer argued that they got the car back anyway.

Customer: “Y’all got the car back, so what’s the problem?”

I wish I had, in any aspect of my life, such confidence with which these people spoke about things so completely wrong in their own existence.

Lol. Let’s check out the comments of other people on Reddit.

Confidence is powerful, but sometimes, it’s completely misplaced.
