YOUR APP GAVE ME AN ERROR WHEN I TRIED TO SET IT FOR AUTOPAY.

I CAN FIX THAT ON MY END. GIVE ME TEN SECONDS.

OKAY, IT WILL BE EFFECTIVE IN THIRTY DAYS.

THIRTY DAYS?

WHY? BECAUSE HUMANS HAVE TO VERIFY IT?

IS IT BECAUSE ELECTRICITY TRAVELS SLOWER IN YOUR PART OF REALITY?

UM, NO IS IT BECAUSE YOUR INTERNAL SYSTEMS WERE DESIGNED BY SQUIRRELS?

NO.

IS IT BECAUSE YOU HOPE I WILL FORGET TO PAY FOR THE ONE MONTH BEFORE AUTO- PAY KICKS IN SO YOU CAN CHARGE ME A LATE FEE?

IT'S THE SLOW ELECTRICITY THING. YOU WERE RIGHT.
