Here is a story for you!
I was watching the phones today because our receptionist is still on vacay.
I had a person call and try to act as if he knew the owners son... He was asking for his cell number. (Now owners son works here and has a very similar name to owner so we screen all calls for him.) I put him on hold for a second to see if he would hang up... Nope!
I get back on the line and tell the guy that I couldn't give him that info and ask if there is anything else I can help him with. He tells me he wants to ask me a personal question. I sit silently for 2.3 seconds. He then says.. "You have a nice vagina." I tell him he is disgusting and hang up.
I then call our VP down to tell him about phone call, he wasn't bothered by it, DH wasn't either. (You better believe I called him out of total disgust!)
I am a bit pissed VP didn't say anything about it but then again, what did I expect to be done???
Re: Here is a story for you!
Well I guess my husband is happy with it. I just wonder how Michael knew it was so nice. lol
That's why your H wasn't bothered by the comment--he knows how fab your vag is!
That's sooo weird, I can't believe the VP wasn't bothered by it. I mean I know they can't really do anything about the call or him saying that, but that's weird to just brush it off.
I used to volunteer at a crisis line as an undergrad. A number of people would call in with "sexual problems" then want to describe them---in detail.
The thing is, some college students really did have sexual issues, so trying to screen the masturbaters from those with real sexual health/relationship issues was always a treat.
We actually had a script we were supposed to follow if we thought people (men, because we never had a woman try it) were getting off while talking to us. It involved providing non-sexy signs we thought they were yanking it (heavy breathing), asking them to make their discussion less explicit, and, finally, providing them with a couple of 1-900 phone sex lines and then hanging up on them.
Wow I wouldn't even know what to say to him. I would be pissed too if VP and DH both didn't think it was a big deal.
DH had to work early one morning so he answered a phone call (this is about 6:30am) and someone on the other line asked him if he would have sex for Jesus.
It's pretty funny but what do you say to that?
