Title: God this was embarassing
Post by: *john garnett on February 14, 2008, 05:52:35 pm

So I took a call from a potential job.  "Name?" "Jones".  "Ok, I'll call you when I can come round".  "Fine".


So I phone, and woman answers.    "Mrs Jones?"  "No, but it'll do".  Ahem.

So they're not married, are they?. Is he gay and this is his sister?  Why can't people get married and be done with it? Why this BS about 'partners'?
Would have saved me the red face.

Had same happen to me, thing is... when you speak to them on the phone, if you ask.."is that Mrs or Miss" they get all funny about it and say "it's Ms" Like that helps!!!, they'd probably be less offended if you asked their bra size... Women!!!

The number of customers who call me Will. I just go along with it now it's easier than going through the spiel about Willclean sounds better than Neilclean ;D

I've been corrected a few times, my partner they say pointedly, when i've said your husband.
... But that's just an excuse what I really wanted to do was compliment Neil on his brilliant gutter vac idea... but without stirring up the head screwed on debate.

You know when they get married - surnames on cheques are suddenly the same.
