Housewives Inc.
(I work at a small ecommerce business where each employee has a multitude of job duties. The phone rings, so I interrupt my current task and conversation with a coworker to answer. It is important to note I am female.)
Me: *speaking a little bit too quickly* “[Company]. How may I help you?”
Customer: “What is this?”
Me: *speaking more slowly* “This is [Company]. How may I help you?”
Customer: “Oh! I thought I was calling some housewife or something. Can I speak to [Coworker]?”
Me: *pauses* “Sure, let me transfer you to him.”
