Oh The Humiliation!

So a little over or under an hour ago I got a call for my sister telling me that I should tell her that the person on the phone needed to speak with her. Currently, Shona [my sister] is at work and so because I didn't know how urgent this message was, I decided to call her.

Dialling the number I was greeted by someone answering the phone. Now being a little deaf when it comes to conversing through the phone I immediately assumed it was my sister and so I said a little too loudly and enthusiastly 'HELLO!' and the reply was a slightly confused hello back. Still thinking it was my sister on the phone and that she was just being a bit silly to not realise it was me, I then went on to say [still loudly] 'It's Holly!' and the reply to that was 'Sorry, who?'

It was around about this point I realised it wasn't my sister on the phone so my genius response came in the form of 'Oh, [long pause] is Shona there?'

How embarrassing. It was however also slightly funny as I think I may have genuinely scared someone.

  1. You should try thinking that your dad is on the phone, and then saying 'Battersea Dog Home, Jack Russel speaking...' Funny now, not then.
