OMG How Embarrassing is this <big blushes>

[TombleyBoo]

i work in DVLA call centre. a call came thru and i had to take the reg number of the customers car. 2 of the letters were W and Y phonetically thats Whisky and Yanky but me being a complete idiot shouted down the phone is that W for WANKY
my supervisor was crying laughing as i tried to put it right!!!! he made a complaint thinking i was calling him a Wanker!!!!

you dont half hear sum stupid things on the phone tho!!!

once sumone was saying Q for cucumber lol

and N for nasal Hair!!!!

That is so funny, but, I do hope you are ok regarding the complaint.

lol!

oh dear!

The other day someone said on the phone to me, "That's S for Steven, T for Tom and N for Nobody"

for some reason this made me PMSL

I can never think of an appropriate word to match the letter.

"Yes, that's er T for um Torremolinos, U for ah..Umbilical cord, R for Rhodedendrum etc..

Wish I could remember all tha alpha, charlie ,delta stuff.

Haha yes I go blank

I had this conversation too:

ME: "10 Trinity Street"
PHONE OPERATOR: "Is that Trinity like the girl's name?"
ME: "Errmm well it's trinity like the omnipotent Triune God of heaven and earth!"

This joke went under-appreciated.

Working at an airline did wonders for my grasp of international phonetic alphabet.

I feel that for the good of her job, though, TombleyBoo should adopt her own personal version:

e.g.

Arsehole
Bastard
C... [etc.]

Robert (my gynaecologist)
Senokot

PMSL

I had a similar thing happen to me when I was 6 months pregnant (pregnant brain) and I was trying to describe how to get to a playgroup, I had several words in my head, and they all kind of got combined somehow or other and out of my mouth popped... 'it's c*nt'

I nearly pissed myself

Fortunately, excluding passenger on board, there were no children within earshot

mp - now I think your gynea is called Robert Senokot

I do know the phonetic alphabet as I have worked in a car insurance quote call centre once but for some reason that doesn't stop me still spelling things to people over the phone seemingly using a motley crew of male and female names. 'yes that's C for colin, M for mavis, B for Bernard etc but then when I get to Q which is in my postcode I always say 'Quebec' which is correct but when put with the other names i've used sounds especially weird!

the extremly shaming thing i did was when one woman was trying to say the letters phonetically and came to s
she said um...S for sex then followed that with sorry thats all i could think of (meaning she couldn think of s for sugar) me being dopy me went oooo really, thats all you cud think of isit!!!

then i realized wat she meant i was so shamed lol

pmsl

glad it's not just me that can't cope with that phonetic alphabet rubbish, it just sounds showy offy and weird to me, like they're in the army or something and challenging you on your knowledge of archaic terminology

I mean, bravo, whisky, foxtrot, india, golf?

what are we all retired colonels or something?

I once sent a letter to Vagina in the US. It got there too. I think I was sort of thinking Virgin/Vagina as I typed Virginia. Or thought I typed Virginia.
Anyway, it got there!!!

I was spelling something out on the phone the other day...." c for...erm" Couldn't think of anything. Mind blank. My DH pipes up "c*nt" and I just said it ! I had to hang up in total mortification.
