Can We Learn From This Angry British Guy?
While I was enjoying a little currency exchange at the bank this morning, I was aurally assaulted overheard a British gentleman chat with the teller next door.
Here’s my impeccable transcript:
Lady Bank Teller (LBT): How would you like you cash back Steve?
British Gentleman (BG): Don’t use my first name. I don’t know you.
LBT: (visibly flustered) I’m sorry…
Here’s where it gets good…
BG: I know you are trying to be polite and I understand that it is a function of this country to use first names but it is completely unacceptable to call someone by their first name when you do not know them. We do not know each other. My name is Mr. Smith. Call me Mr. Smith.
A couple of hours later, I saw this posted on a light pole at the corner of 22nd and 8th Ave.
