Me: I love it when people get bitchy at me when I ask for their names.
Coworker: usually it’s because they think you’re screening the calls; they don’t understand that you need their names to know which of us to put them through to.
Me: no I get that. It’s just… this last guy, when I asked him his name he paused and then asked how late we were open all bitchily. I said five and he said john.
Coworker: …so what his name would have been george if we were open til six?
