After finally working out how to change my address with the jobcentre, I rang them to sort it out. I am less than great with phone calls...
After I answered all the questions in order to confirm that I was me (and apparently knowing my mobile number is one of them, surely they could tell that I was ringing from it?) we moved on to questions about the flat. I excelled at these questions... Honest.
Advisor: "Do you pay [something
I can't remember the name of]?"
Me: "What?"
Advisor: [Repeats previous statement]
Me: "I don't know what that is"
Me: "I don't know what that is"
Advisor: "How many living rooms
do you have?"
I heard: "how many rooms do
you have?"
Me: "Five."
Advisor: "Five?"
Advisor: "Five?"
Me: "No, four"
Advisor: [shocked] "Four?"
Advisor: [shocked] "Four?"
Me: [picking up on his shock]
"I'm sorry, did you ask how many bedrooms I have?"
Advisor: "No, how many living rooms do you have"
Advisor: "No, how many living rooms do you have"
[After establishing that I have 1
living room, 1 kitchen, 1 bathroom and 2 bedrooms he realised my earlier
mistake.]
Advisor: "Was the last place you
lived privately owned?"
Me: "I was homeless" [then I laughed, it's not funny]
Me: "I was homeless" [then I laughed, it's not funny]
[Enter Argos]
They rang again this morning... they are not delivering my bed tomorrow, so for the second time they are rescheduling. I'm never going to get this bed.
