Wrong number

on March 22, 2012

There was a mix-up (not mine) with Son’s appointment to see his surgeon so we were quickly rescheduled and I wrote it down. Then today I suddenly realized I would need to make the appointment later that day as we live two hours away and etc. So I rang back.

Me (on the phone):

Hi, it’s me again, Julie, about that appointment for my son, I really need to change it to later in the day because I didn’t realize I had another appointment earlier and we live 200 kms down south so what would be the best way to do this, should I ring the other number or should I cancel my other appointment so I can make this appointment because my son really needs to see the surgeon because it’s five weeks and someone made a mistake and he wasn’t booked until end of April but we can’t wait that long because the surgeon said he would need to see my son four weeks post-op., can you advise me, oh sorry and what’s your name again, I don’t want to forget it because you’ve been so helpful, really grateful for everything and he’s doing really well but I was getting a bit worried when I didn’t get a letter from the hospital about the appointment.

Woman (on the other end of the phone):

I’m sorry, but I’m a bit confused.  My name’s Verity but this is BodyTrim.

[Me: Pause, gasp, cringe!]

Needless to say, Verity and I had a huge laugh!

    Ha ha – that was hilarious! You will NOT believe me but today I did the same thing (had to change an appointment for my son). I booked for the morning of Saturday and then had to change it to the afternoon & I rang back 2 seconds later but got a different girl! So I had to explain again. All was fine with me, but when I started reading this, I thought you were going to experience something ridiculous I could relate to. VERY funny 🙂

      It was funny all right. I am being much more careful now with my phonecalls – such a funny coincidence you had a similar experience – ha!

    haha – she must have wondered if BodyTrim had caused some unheard-of side-effects

  9. Sounds exactly like a conversation I would encounter!! I need to learn to take more breaths! LOL!
