Getting the Run Around on the Phone

 

My sister Sara is sharing a recent experience with us today.  Remember when agonizing on the phone with various people to look for the humor!  Have a great Saturday!

I had been on the phone with the airline for about an hour and a half trying book a flight for my parents using a credit from a previously canceled flight.  Needless to say I had been getting the run-a-round.  After answering the same questions over and over to several different agents, I finally was speaking to one who seemed to know how to help me.  He asked me the previous flight number, and I told him.  Then he asked the e-mail address on the account, and I told him.  Next he asked the names on the tickets.  I told him my mom’s name and spelled it out for him.  Then I told him my father’s name and spelled it out for him.  “Now,” he said, “I need your father’s date of birth and gender.   “Uh…” is all I got out before I died laughing.  “Don’t laugh,” he said which made my laugh even harder. I finally got it together enough to respond, “Male.”

    That is too funny! While searching for a pet recently you would not believe how many neutered female cats I have come upon! But you would think people could keep humans straight!

    Well, nowadays, the gender of Daddy might be a valid question. I’m just sayin… 🙂

    Such a funny story! But I guess you never know in this day and age…someone’s “father” could be “female” : /
    The airlines just need to be careful for security reasons that the person who is supposed to flying is actually flying!
    Thanks for sharing = )
