I detest it when my boss (after observing me talking to a customer) says "So! How do you think that went?"
I don't know, you tell me!!! I wasn't the bloody one watching/listening to me was I?
Their fault?
False phrases; "I’m going up to London" (when they’re actually driving south).
Words; driv (from the word driven? when they actually meant drove). E.g. I driv my car up the road… (and I’m thinking, hmm, yes you probably did).
My fault?
Before the Co-op Share cards came out, using I.D. numbers...
Assistant: “What’s your share number?
Me: ***845.
Assistant: “245?”
Me: “No, 845.”
B&Q
Me: “I’m looking for curtain poles”
Assistant: “cotton poles?”
Me: “No. (I’m drawing with my hands) Em, window, cloth, blocks out the sunshine etc etc.”
Assistant: “Oh, curtain poles!”
P.s. I’m a Scottish by the by. North of the border I’ve no problem in speech or hearing!
