I must be more absentminded than most.

Default After switching jobs...

I went from Payless Shoes where I had to answer, "Payless at the Clackamas Town Center. This is [Mrs. Funk], now may I help you?" to Barnes & Noble where I had to say, "Thank you for calling the Barnes and Noble Booksellers at the Clackamas Town Center. This is [Mrs. Funk], how may I help you?" Needless to say, I was trying to sell shoes to the customers wanting books for the first month or so.

Alright I don't want to seem too much like I need to one up someone, but I can certainly one up that blunder.

I worked at a furniture store where one of my coworkers answered the phone almost every time with "Thanks for calling Big-O tires..." He ended up quitting and I think one of the reasons was that he just couldn't stop answering the phone like that.
