I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

Reasons why I am never leaving the house again #57:

Me: Can I get some non-drowsy hayfever tablets and some Athlete's Foot Powder please?
Pharmacist: For your face?
Me: Err no... [looking at my brother's foot as he raises the inflicted appendage off the floor (and I still couldn't tell you why either of us did that)] for... the feet
Pharmacist: Oh.

Reasons why I am never picking up the phone again #256:

Woman: Hi I'm from Blah Blah & Sons can I just ask you some questions? It won't take longer than 30 seconds
Me: [Note that I didn't even get to say hello as I picked up the phone so there was some hesitation while I considered hanging up, but I left it a beat too long so was forced to say...] Umm... Ok
Woman: Are you aged between 30 and 75?
Me: No
Woman: 75 to 80?
Me: No
Woman: Over 80?
Me: No, I'm 25
Woman: Ah

So, it would appear I look like I have Athlete's Foot on my face and I legitimately sound as if I am over the age of 80.

I'm never interacting with strangers again.
