Lise and all -
I had a similar - though perhaps more disturbing - experience when I first
moved here to Gilbertsville. I was looking for a good ferret vet and
thought I'd call around to see who treated a lot of ferrets. First call
I made:
me: Hi, I'm wondering, do you treat ferrets?
receptionist: (repeats clearly:) Ferrets? Hang on, let me check. (puts me
on hold. Comes back:) I'm sorry, m'am, we do not treat ferrets. We don't
treat any kind of birds at all...
Ooookkkaayyyy..... now, if she hadn't repeated the word "ferrets" TWICE,
clearly, I might think she thought I said "parrots" but..... needless to
say, I do not go to that vet. <sigh> the ignorance...
