Do you get people making the same comment about your job day in and day out? It's like water off a ducks back to me, but the people that say it think it's so original and humorous and expect you to fall into a heap of uncontrollabe laughter..Here's a few of mine, be interesting to hear yours.. |

True Paul. Its not just the postie's that get it. I'm in the outdoor awning,and indoor blinds manufacturing and installing business. I often go to peoples homes to Install them myself. When i knock on a householders door, and a young child might answer it, i get......Mum/Dad....the BLIND mans here. I usually get back........O'h,well watch he dosent trip the step, and get some water for his guide dog. Tony Oz :>(( |

I work in a greengrocers that also sells a few flowers. I usually kneel down on the floor to wrap flowers/fill lower shelves etc. The comment is always the same 'Say one for me while you're down there'. And I'm always being called Flower; little fruit; little pumpkin; little plum etc etc etc. Yaaaawn! |

I've just come back from work (in a freezer) I'm often asked if it is cold working in there , one day i will answer that''No, of course it isn't, Its a hot freezer''- Do they really expect me to answer with anything BUT yes? (no,I dont get cold , i wears about 6 layers and you do adjust) Jess |
