I pushed a button on my cell phone that makes the ringer sound so I told her I needed to take the call........I HAD to escape!

I'm more careful what information I share and with whom now. That'll teach me to be so talkative!
LOL Kitty. That reminds me of many years ago when I got a part time job at a local computer company after staying home for 15 years to raise our sons.

I told my optometrist's receptionist about it and she looked me up and down and said, "How did you get that job?"

I wanted to crawl out of there!!

The thing is, they hired me because they specifically wanted somebody that knew nothing about computers. They didn't want me to tell people how to fix their problems over the phone, lol. I was there to help people and get them in to pay for repairs and upgrades.

My worst, and stupidest comment was from a PhD psychologist who was giving me therapy sessions after my dad died. I told how weak the heat made me and she said "but that happens to everyone."

She was great except for that. (And she had no air conditioning in her office.)
