AfferGorritt 868 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Last Friday I had a letter from a credit card company confirming that they had changed my address as requested. In the interest of security they had sent the letter to both my old and new addresses. Mmmm ... I’ve been at this address for two years now, and did they think this was my old or new address? In addition, I thought I’d cancelled the card some time ago. I decided to ring them. The lady on the other end of the line said that she had to conduct a short security check, and what was my birth sign. Well, I’d never been asked that before, but I replied “Virgo”. When she could eventually stop laughing she said, “No, FIRST LINE, what’s the first line of your address!” 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Sparrow 10,316 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 I went to Boots' on Saturday to collect my thyroxine. The pharmacist was not the usual one and she asked me if I had a medical exemption card (thyroxine users don't need to pay for prescriptions). I told her I had one but no longer needed to use it. When she asked why not, I advised her to look at my date of birth. "Oh, you're 60!" she gasped. "I would never have thought so!" Now that's the kind of senior moment I don't mind at all! 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Pianoman 1,535 Posted May 7, 2018 Report Share Posted May 7, 2018 Stop braggin' I also use thyroxine. I went in the chemist and she just walked off with my prescription. I said "don't you want to see my medical exemption?" She just took one look at me and said "No, you don't need it when you are over 60". I didn't know my D O B was on the prescription! I don't go in Boots BTW because they have only ever got half of any prescription! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
