wickedfleaDo you ever do anything that just makes you wonder where your mind is going? I do. I called customer service for a company today to request replacement parts for a bookcase I bought a couple of weeks ago. I told the lady the model number, and she asked, "Is that American Oak, Cherry, or Black finish?"
"Right, yes." I replied.
She was very nice about it, politely asking, "OK, which one?" I probably wouldn't have been able to restrain myself if I'd been in her position. That's the kind of thing that used to kill me when I had jobs that involved working with the public.
Then there was the time that I returned video tapes to the wrong store. I walked right into Blockbuster, threw those mugs on the counter, and said, "Here ya go!" The clerk looked at me blankly and stated, "These are from Movie Gallery." I never thought I'd do something like that. Again, if I'd been in her place, I would have been thinking, "What an IDIOT!"
Ach. I need to go shopping. I hope I can manage by myself...
"Right, yes." I replied.
