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!
Hehe!
Thats so funny! Made me laugh to.
I felt so ridiculous!!!
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!
Hilarious!
And embarrassing!
🙂
Very funny. But a lesson learned, I guess.
Yes, indeed! Listen before you lurch!
Big oops! Glad you were able to laugh about it!
I do lots of oopsy things unfortunately!
lol. Hope you got your appointment straightened out. 😉
Yes – when I rang the right person I made sure I knew who I was speaking to before I began the gabble!
haha – she must have wondered if BodyTrim had caused some unheard-of side-effects
I ended up saying I could do with a bit of body trim and we had another laugh!
Sounds exactly like a conversation I would encounter!! I need to learn to take more breaths! LOL!
Yeah, I certainly learned a lesson there!
That could be a movie script! So funny!
Stream of consciousness at its worst – ha!
Oh dear! LOL! ~ Lynda
Yes, it was a bit embarrassing!
