It's always interesting how people interpret what they want from what you say to them.

In the past week I've had two women/clients twist what I've said into something else.

1 - Took "I'll look into it with accounting and call you back" to mean "She said that the bills all been worked out and I owe nothing".

2 - Took "I'll look to find someone available and call you back with when they can come" to mean "She promised to send someone over yesterday to fix such and such".

Always write out your request and save a copy!

LOL....that is funny, but I also get a kick out of the fact that you seem to answer requests with, "I'll look into that and call you later." ;-)

I know I was taught that by a mentor more than 10 yrs ago and it stuck. It's a polite way of saying a lot things like, "I have no clue what you're talking about and need to find someone that does so I don't sound like jackass talking to you."

I had another person ask me about CAT5 cable - I was like WTF - I don't know about CAT5, DSL? why did you get DSL - Why are you calling me about this - call the electrican. But I said, "I'll have to look into that and get back to you." Unfortunately - the electrican *horror* knew as much as I did. I'm still working on that one - OY.

Bartender: "You know, times are changing. Ladies can do stuff now. And you're gonna have to learn how to deal with that."
Ron: "What? Were you saying something? Look, I don't speak Spanish."

Generally speaking that's a classic man/woman (men are from mars, women are from ur-anus ) thing and the misinterpretation goes both ways. . .although, it seems to me that women misinterpret men a lot more often. . .probably because most men don't even listen to women that are fully clothed.

However, you are a woman and these clients were women. . .you in the middle of a test cycle??
