Forum Support Old55 Posted April 12, 2020 Forum Support Posted April 12, 2020 A little lockdown levity. My wife attempted to order to-go from our local Pho Vietnamese restaurant. The Vietnamese owner knows my wife very well a wonderful person but the phone conversation was a total train wreck. I had to leave the room I was laughing so hard. Anyone else experience something similar? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else experience something similar? Strange Old, as I was going to start a similar post. Last week my partner spent an eternity trying to give our address to the water station that know us well. We are on the same street.....same side.....just 2 KM away, plus she gave well known land marks that did not seem to click. The fun really started when she tried to give our number...this was the time I had to leave the room..... Some how communication between locals just does not work. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not just me so not an accent issue, just this morning my wife was giving the Globe Tech. our modem number - about 15 digits. It didn't go well - she was repeating some numbers so he must have been lost as to what was a repeat and what was a new one. He's coming around this afternoon to get it in person! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
