How Do You Answer The Phone?

Well, today I got paid for the first time in four weeks. I normally get paid every other week. But my grandfather passed away 3 weeks ago, so I wasn't working those days. Then I was on the cruise after that. So I was glad to see that check.

I have worked in that office for almost 2 ½ years now. I'm glad that I have the job, and that I get to work with nice people. And the fact that they are family is nice. But it can be somewhat stressful dealing with people who need visual aid. But, thankfully, I gained some funny stories from the people I have met in that office.

The first week I started working there, I was calling patients to confirm their up coming appointments. The last patients for that day were a mother and her two children. I called there home number. It rang a few times, and then I thought I heard the phone pick up. At first I didn't hear anything. Right when I was about to say “Hello?”, I heard something very faint on the other end of the line. I listened closer. It sounded like a man breathing. I still didn't say anything, but I kept listening. I started to realize that the breathing I heard was more the just breathing,,, that sounds like moaning. But it was still very quite. I stayed on the phone. “Why? I am not sure. I guess it was because I really wasn't sure if it was moaning or not. And I didn't know the proper etiquette for that circumstance at the time.” I still had not said a word. I started to think “ This is kind of funny”. I had not yet been offended.
About 8 seconds after our “conversation” started, he cleared his voice nervously, and say “Hello?”.
I answered “This is Dr. P__'s office. And I was just calling to confirm D___, M___ and J___'s appointment with us.”
He gasped and said “I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Thought you were my WIFE!”. I told him it was okay. I didn't tell him that mom my was going to laugh so hard when she hears this story.
I wonder if he told his wife why he doesn't answer the phone with dirty talk anymore?

Yep! There are some very interesting people that come to that office.
