Maybe I speak too quickly, or maybe I’m so tired I’m mumbling, but misunderstandings seem to be the rule lately.
I was at the bookstore job, and I answered the phone. The customer said, “A book I ordered came in, but I don’t remember what the book is.” I said, “That’s alright. We don’t hold the book by title, we hold it by your last name.” I wanted to check if we really had it, since she sounded confused and unsure, so I asked, “What’s your last name?”
“I’m not sure. Can you tell me?”
