Yep, I've been known to have a salesperson say "HI, I'm Gregg, what's your name?", only to answer "Mr. Cat."  |
Maybe that goes back to my "youth", or to where I'm from... things do tend to be much more casual & laid back in the northwest. Just goes to show a blanket solution apparently doesn't work!
Perhaps we should start referring to you as Mr. Cat from now on?
(j/k- but it would be funny to see that randomly show up in threads)
