CIBC confused my newfie term "mudder"

in funny •  7 years ago 

Got a call today from CIBC wanting to confirm a sketchy e-transfer to a persons named "Mudder"
I started laughing my ass off, barely managing to get the words out "yeah that's my mother"

The lady on the phone laughs so hard for a solid 30 seconds and then apologizes contantly inbetween laughing

A good start to my day!

Helpful tip for your posts in the future:

  1. I would have used a CIBC logo as a pic on your post
  2. I would have changed the title to mention BANK. A lof of people around the world who read these posts don't know what a CIBC is, so if you said "CIBC Bank" that would have helped
  3. Your article was really brief, almost like a facebook status update. If you look around here, articles are slightly longer and have more pictures.
  4. Look at the tags on steemit. You might have done better posting your first tag in the "money" tag which would cause concern for people interested in money which ranks higher than funny.

If you did these things, I think your post would get a lot more attention and a lot more upvotes. Hope that helps.

first post so yes this helps! thanks a lot :)

I don't understand. It was because you nicknamed them (first name) Mudder or the email address had mudder in it?

I'm wondering which part of the transaction they saw mudder and it caught a red flag?

It was the nickname, should of clarified! I really didn't think they'd even care about the names you pick lol

Now that is an astounding piece of information. WOW. Who would have thought they sniff through your nicknames like that..
