Here's something that drives me crazy...

In my work, I frequently have to call students to clarify a request or remind them to return something.

If I am calling a male student, frequently his girlfriend or wife will answer the phone. When this happens, often there is a note of suspicion, or one of those damn sicky-sweet "May I ask who's calling?"

Women of the world: I have no desire to sleep with your husbands (well, unless you're married to Alan Rickman). I am not hitting on your husband. In case you haven't noticed, 51% of the world's population is female, and a lot of us have jobs. In fact, I resent the implication that I am anything other than professional. Women will have to talk to your man. Deal with it, and get over yourselves.

I used to work for a mortgage company and would frequently have to call people for information. Nothing was funnier than the time that I called and got the wife and went on to tell her who I was and why I was calling and what information I needed. Her response:
"I don't care who you say you are. I'm not fooled by your 'title' I know exactly who you are. You're not going to get him, he's mine."
I told her to have a nice day and called him at his office. Maybe I should have told him, but I figured he'd hear all about it when he got home.

I mean if it was Nathan Fillion or Christian Bale...well, then beware, but otherwise...please, like I want to hit on your husband after seeing your credit rating.
