[показать] PART OF MY WORK in a local bank was to process mortgage applications when a home buyer wanted to assume the seller's mortgage. One day the bank's automated call-routing system delivered an agitated client who wanted to know if she had made a payment.
I couldn't answer questions about the status of mortgage payments, but I listened to her story and then said I'd have to transfer her call.
"This is the mortgage assumptions department, isn't it?" she asked, sounding irritated.
"Why yes, it is," I replied. "Do you have an assumption question?"
"Of course," she said. "I assumed I made last month's payment."
