Please, Think Before You Speak

I dare say we’ve all made the mistake a time or two of saying something before we think about what we saying. Then immediately after you say it you are hit with a load of regret—did I really just say that?!?!


Luckily, this morning it wasn’t me that had the socially awkward plunder. But, lucky for me….I did get to witness someone else’s idiotness. The set up is me answering the phone at work:

Me: Good morning, AFT this is Brittani
Caller: Hey, do you guys have someone there by the name of Feces?

Me: (Thinking this some kind of lame joke) Feces?
Caller: Yeah, Feces.

Me: (A little more concerned because I can tell this person is serious)   Um…really? Feces?
Caller: Yes.

At this point I knew the caller was serious and I wanted to yell into the phone,

“No idiot! No one here is named Poo!” Instead, I just stutter in awe.

Me: Uh….uh….
Caller: I’m guessing the answer is no?

Me: Yes, the answer is no. No one here is named Feces.

We moved on from that and I ended up helping the guy with the information he needed. Then at the very end of the conversation, based on information in the file I was helping him on, I was able to figure out what the guy was confusing. He was actually looking for a man named Casey that worked at a completely different title company.

But seriously, who in their right mind thinks someone could actually be named Feces? I know baby names are getting really unique nowadays…but Feces?!?!? Come on.

You sure you don't want to keep that name in mind for your little one? ;) if not...I just might have to still it for my own.
