    Goldenskull I can't follow the rules

    Every time i call some place they think i am a chick calling it's kinda annoying and funny at the same time.

    In away its funny:-D
    But in another way it annoys me.
    I don't know if its my voice or what.

    If it happens when you call, then obviously it has to be your voice since they cannot see you over the phone. Me, I assume you're a guy because of how you type. ;)

    Please follow these instructions, each time you need the phone.
    1. Using the middle finger and thumb of your left hand to pinch your nose.
    2. Next, please place your left toe in your right ear.

    Make the call.

    Cheers..

    What are you trying to do, sikvik?
    That would take his voice to a much higher level.
    I know that as fact.

    LMAO Rikky.

    @Goldenskull, is this just on the phone or in person (yeah I know they can see you) but do friends and those you meet think you have a higher voice tone?

    Some people do have a higher register tone and have it for life and that is normal for them, could be medical as in throat and nose issues (adenoids if memory serves can add a higher tone to a voice) or you are young and voice not truely broken yet.

    I can feel your pain. I sound like a girl (well, because I am one LOL) but a 8 year old girl. This convo actually took place while I was at work, as I'm the one that answers the phones.

    Caller: Hi is (my boss) there?
    Me: No, I'm sorry he's not. Would you like to leave him a message?
    Caller (voice changes to the tone you usually use with little kids): Oh hi sweetie, are you (my boss's) daughter?
    Me: Nooo
    Caller: Oh, I thought so because you just sound really, really young.
    Me: I'm 25.
    Caller. Oh.... (very long awkward pause) uh yea, I'll leave him a message.


    :-D:-D

    I'd have been more pee'd off at being called "sweetie" than someone thinking I was the bosses child! ;)

    Not a perv but for me a bit of a dill for pre-judging, its the "sweetie" thing for me and in UK and more so in gov depts we have to conform to "Equality and Diversity" training and that phrase would be a no-no, sad as its an innocent word to use but sadly it can be taken the wrong way for Equality and Divesity in UK.

    Quick story in UK Gov depts is that there is in place a monitoring system to scan emails on Gov systems or is on ours for non-compliant words or phrases and the IT police can storm your office and beat the crud out of you for using wrong words..... ok well thats not true but they can inform your manager of a potential incident, even if they are wrong as that often are as we had an issue a while back when someone sent an email asking for the info on a "slit lamp" and in Ophthalmology thay are THESE but the word police thought "slit" was something else and alerted this persons mamager, which caused no end of issues to sort out.

    Not the best thing to have on a computer system in a hospital when words are always used that are sexual or seemingly inapproprieate but are not when in the medical context.


    Yeah did read your 2nd post after and I think I knew what you ment in the above quote.
