Caller: Um……..er…….ah……hi there!
Me: Hi.
Caller: This is John calling from *Insert random company name which I ignored*.
Me: Hi.
Caller: Um….Can you put mummy or daddy on the phone please dear?
Me: Excuse me!?!
Caller: Er…..um…ahhh….oh! Are you the lady of the house?
Me: Ok, bye now.
Now I’m not sure whether to be flattered or offended at having someone think that I was a child.
I also think I missed a golden opportunity for a smart come-back to the ‘Can I talk to your mummy or daddy’ comment. Maybe I could have said “Sure! Have you got a pen? I’ll give you their number.”
Or, “Tell me John, Who’s your daddy?”.
Or I could have just said ‘Sure! Hang on a minute!’ and put the phone down and gone to watch TV.

Sadly, comebacks like this only come to mind after the fact.
