The same for phone calls they always ask for the man of the house.
Its really beginning to piss me off.
The backstory,my partner died last year.I sorted out the paperwork and got stuff transferred into my name (a whole other long story but still).Somehow or other I missed the gas/electric bills.So the other day "Hello can I speak to Mr x please". Me "Well,you might have some trouble with that,he died a year ago!".It was the power company.
But it got me thinking,I had some work done on the house recently and the bloke who did it said "My quote is xx but you may want to check with your husband if thats ok".I was tempted by the above reply again but couldn't be bothered to go through it again.
Is it just me???
