I work for a credit card company.

Customer: “My card was declined. I need you to fix this right away!”

Me: “Ma’am, your card is over the $400 limit. Also, I see that you have never made a payment. You need to make a payment in order to keep using this card. I can take a payment over the phone.”

Customer: “I don’t have to pay for this! You guys sent me this card; I just use it!”
