A Little Geek Humor
June 20th, 2010 at 11:36 am by CrankyFor you programmers. Here is the code that runs whenever a customer service rep at Citibank tells you that your rate went up “automatically”. Because as we all know, people had nothing to do with it when your rate jumped 15% due to a payment being one day late.
const decimal PREFERRED_RATE = .2999; //.1299;
const decimal STANDARD_RATE = .2999; //.1699;
const decimal POUND_CUSTOMER_IN_TUSH_RATE = .2999 //.2199;
private void processPayment(Customer cust, Payment payment)
{
if(cust.paymentDate >= payment.dueDate.AddSeconds(30))
{
//if(cust.noOfLatePayments > 3)
//{
//if(cust.rate == PREFERRED_RATE)
//{
// cust.setNewRate(STANDARD_RATE);
//}
//else
//{
cust.setNewRate(POUND_CUSTOMER_IN_TUSH_RATE);
//}
//}
}
}

Heh. Where did you get that? Or did you just make it up?

I found it on a thumb drive in a dumpster last time I was in Manhattan.
Michele, you speak geek?

If you met my husband, you’d wonder how I manage to be so ignorant of Geeklish. I’ve been forcefully immersed in the language for years. I’m pretty fluent in Gun though. I can conjugate in AR-15.
