I'd have made excuses Cinds and walked away, then blew my top out of sight/sound
Sprout, I can laugh that off. It's the idiots who ring up after they have had debt reminder letters, they ask to speak to me (because I sign those letters) & then try to blame the 'silly girl in the office' as they rang when they got their invoice & complained to her etc etc.
Imagine the joy I get when I tell them I am the only female working here and so they are now talking to 'the silly girl in the office', which is then after a pause, followed by "well, can I talk to the owner/manager/boss" And then I joyfully reply "you already are, now how can I help you"
At that point I occasionally do a self satisfied fist pump.
