there's something about ..... tact

How long does it take for one to offend a client?

Answer: Split second.

Real life example that took place recently:

Lady client: Hi Moomooman

Me who has the client's number stored in my hp: Hi client.. it's been a long time. How have you been?

Lady client: It's been good. In fact I have just given birth to a beautiful daughter.

Me: Wow.. congratulations!!! Was your first one a boy or a girl?

Lady Client: no.. this is our first one.

This is when one should take the cue and move on to other topics... but not this moronic author.

Me: Oh... I thought you were pregnant 2 years ago when we met?

Lady Client said dryly plus probably cussing within: no.

OOpsssss.
