And I recieve this type of call after every 2 days...Help me!!! All the Rafiqs of this world should be reading this.
-----------------------------------------------
Now, those who know me - who have heard my voice - please help me out here. Do I really have a masculine voice? I'm probably gonna die (after punching the person through the phone) if I get a similar call again. Trust me. It's the worst nightmare of my life. Why the hell do they ask for confirmation???
*spends her night wondering* I don't get it...Is there really a fault in my voice (or speech), or they have a listening problem???
:'(
Cheerio.
