I renewed my car insurance on line last night. A woman from the insurance company has just phoned to confirm certain details.
Her: I need to ask you for your phone number
Me: You have just rung it. How do you think we are speaking right now?
Her: Do you have an email address?
Me: Yes, it is the one you mailed a confirmation to last night.
Her: Do you know your date of birth?
Me: Yes thankyou, I have had it for quite some time.
Her: Would you be interested in details of house insurance?
Me: I renewed my house insurance with you two weeks ago.

I have to say she was very pleasant...just thick.

in process of booking a ryanair flight, when i got this in big black letters

I've got the blind man coming round today for a fitting...............

Tony, you really need to get out more

As you say, pleasant but thick. Look at it this way, it could have been one of those silent calls!

As for the date of birth question, if it was you making a call, then by being asked for your date of birth and maybe your address, then this establishes that the help desk employee is conversing with the correct person.

But that was one strange call you had!

Well they may breed !

I would agree with you wiltsman if she had asked for my date of birth as a security question, but it was the silly way she worded the question
