In the afternoons I work as a receptionist in a medical office. Not so recently I received an unordinary call there. Here is a transcript similar to our conversation:
ME: Family Medical Center
GUY: Huh?....Hello?
M: Hi
G: Hey, I'm here at the market and they are having a great sale on canned food.
M: Oh?
G: Yeah, they have spagetti sauce, green beans, (yadda yadda yadda names off a bunch of food) Should I get some? It's a pretty good deal, right?
M: Yeah, it sounds great! You should get some.
G: Really?
M: Yes. Go for it!!
G: Okay, Thanks. Bye
M: You bet. Ba-Bye (I had thought about calling him sweetie or honey or another pet name, but was laughing too hard at this point)
Occasionally I wonder how things went down with his wife once he got home with all this stuff.
You may be thinking, "That was plain mean!" I felt a tad guilty. I took comfort in thinking that this guy doesn't recognize his wife's voice. Shame on him. He got what was coming to him. :) Not to mention it amused me for an afternoon! :)

I never get tired of this story, it cracks me up. You will have to tell me if you get any other stories that are like this. Or any other weird call you receive at the medical center.
Yes, I read it twice and I think I'll go back for a third. That is too funny!!
Did he say Love ya or I love you at the end?
What a sweet husband to call and check with his wife and you are getting him in trouble! What if they are on a tight budget or something! ; )
Really though he should recognize his wife's voice, too funny!
Guess they'll have food storage! You should have got the number so you could call him back. I can think of lots of more fun... Serves him right for not listening, to like when you answered the phone. I get that all the time. Computer Arts this is Ty, Um yeah, can I speak with Ty. So I've returned to just answering with "Hello.."
I don't think he told me he loved me. (See, not that great of a husband. JK! I'll be lucky if I even get one someday!)
I'm sure Ty could have handled the call more professionally. He is more advanced in playing with people's minds. A talent I envy.
Katie!!!! I didnt know you had a blog...not I have spent all morning reading your posts instead of teaching my daughter school...do you fell guilty??? Well you shouldnt its not your fault....:)
