That's Baroness to you, Sir!

May30, 2010

I recently bought some boots from Barratts to give myself more ankle support when I'm carrying Isabel (I walk for miles, and my trainers/sneakers weren't doing the job). When checking out, I was asked to register, and the title field had a list a mile long with every possible title you can think of (pro-tip: just provide an empty input field).

So anyway, I turned to Karl and said "what do you reckon I should sign up as?" and he jokingly replied "Baroness". And so I did.

Friday last week, a guy turns up at the door with a parcel, eyes his PDA delivery thing (those stupid computery things you have to 'sign' these days), looks at me funny, hesitates, looks back at his PDA and then says "errr... Turner?". "Yes". And then he hands over the parcel, followed by the stupid computery thing for me to sign. I look at the screen and only then realise why he's looking a bit weird at me. Across the top of the screen:

BARONESS JEM TURNER

I've never found it so hard not to laugh in my entire life.

Hehe, it's pretty obvious we all want you to eat a bunch of Crunchies! :P I haven't had a Crunchie in a while...
My mum still thinks my sister done a whole bunch of stuff that was actually me. I want some ham now, though.
Lol, sometimes when I have to sign up for things, I put that I'm a "Mr" then of course when they deliver my product they look rather confused. ;3 It's not as funny as Baroness, though. :P
I wish you took a picture of the expression on his face. That would have been priceless.
I bet as soon as you closed the door, you burst out laughing! xD

As long as you don't expect me to bow down & scrap to you. We will still get along fine. Princess' don't bow down to nobody but the Queen. *wink*

It's finally happened. Your e-ego has spilled out into the real world, m'lady.

I am tempted to do that every time I buy a ticket from British Airways... Thanks for living fast ∠)
I would have pouted and refused to sign until he referred to me as "Baroness Turner, ma'am."

LOOOOOOOL I can imagine the delivery guy's inner thoughts: man is this what royalty looks these days? ROFL
Good one though! :)

See I wouldn't have even held the laughter in. I would have just bust out right there. I should try that next time.

Oh, that's hilarious!!
When ordering parcels for my Dad a couple of years ago, I sent them addressed to 'Peter Honk Honk Wood' as a laugh!

That is pretty slick, Jem. If it gets you better post service I think I may opt for it next time too.
Where I work, we deal with a lot of 'high class customers' (a.k.a. Fat Cats) and on one Customer's account it says something similar to:
"Customer to be addressed as 'Mr. Smith' Monday 9am until Friday 9pm, and then as 'Miss Pinky Lush' onwards until the following Monday."
