How Thick Can You Get?

The software on my mobile packed up so I took it to the mobile shop and they sent it away for repair. They took my details and said they would phone me when it was back. As I had a tracking number, I tracked it and found that it had been returned to the shop on 23rd March. I have just phoned the shop to see if it is there and ask them why they hadn`t phoned me. The guy said that they had left a message on my answerphone. He started to read out the number they called and it was my mobile - which is in their possession - which is why I didn`t get the message. "Oh Jeez" he said. Oh Jeez indeed.

Is numpty sufficient or something stronger - I cant say that, on the rare occasion I need to visit EE shop that any of them look like the would be potential Mensa members.

I`ve been a bit stressed today because I`m trying to sort out a problem with the gas and it`s the anniversary of my Mum`s death but this has given me the biggest laugh all week.

I can't believe it's been a year since you mum died. I thought that it was only a few months.

At the beginning of this year I suddenly realised that my mum had died 20 years ago. Where does time go? I was 32 .

I am off to give one of the cats his pills. He is cunning and devious so it won't be plain sailing.

:-)

[ummmm]

Sadly, that's the kind of thing I would do.

Hope the rest of your day isn't too bad, 237 x

I had a similar experience recently. An officious woman from an insurance company called me and read out a list of questions for me to answer, one of which was "What is your telephone number?”

[Svejk]

To be fair, though. They axed you for a contact number and you gave them the number of the phone you were handing over. (own up)

When I worked for DWP I was once completing a benefit form for a lady pensioner. I had to ask all the questions and not assume stuff i.e. - do you own any property.

I asked her if she was pregnant, I initially didn't even realise what I had asked her. She was just staring at me wondering if I was nuts. Then she laughed.

Well, I have my phone back. Thanks for the sentiments about my Mum. It`s been the hardest year of my life but hopefully things are looking up.
