Default Porky pig syndrome again!
I was calling the Doctors office this morning to make an appointment for my husband and all was well until the receptionist answered my call.

I told her my name and why I was calling and then she started asking really hard questions like my phone number!!

I just went into a porky pig rendition... ibbity ibbity

I know it is number one on my cell phone oh yeah I remember... I gave her the wrong number then said wait; that's my friends number!

Then she asked his birthdate. Same thing and I told her well he's really old.... oh yeah I remember...

Fortunately she had the records there and got it.

I told her he was concerned about his sonogram no wait... his ultrasound!

She and I were both laughing but next time I am writing a script of what I want to say!

Another day another dumb ***** attack.

LOL So that's what it's called! That happens to me a lot. The most embarrassing thing was when I forgot my dh's name! For the life of me I couldn't think of it! Thankfully I was talking to my aunt and I just said you know that guy I married! She thought it was funny and now refers to him as that guy. lol

Yep.
Been there.
One of the reasons I hate phones. If I'm gonna come across as an idiot... I wanna do it in person! And yes beautiful, I've had to write out a 'script' a few times before I made a phone call.

I really do have to write everything down before I call someone like a Dr.'s office. I have to write down my own phone number, address, everything I think they will ask because once I get on the the phone and they ask me something I'm not even sure of my own name.
