Got a funny DI story to tell that I'm sure you'll appreciate...
I paid for the sperm test for our SD and the IVF clinic told me that I could go to Medicare (public health care system) to get a rebate. So I trotted down to my local centre to do the paperwork.
My number comes up and I am served. Now my SD's name is on the top of the account. The customer service person asked me in an accusing voice (as if I am trying to pull a fast one) "Who is this person?" I said quite matter of factly "Well, actually it's our sperm donor." Of course, this just happens to be the time when there is a break in the general noise in the room, and the lady next to me half turns to listen. That's when I start to go red.
I have never seen someone run so fast to their supervisor as this woman did. The supervisor, who had obviously dealt with this before, just told her what to do. The officer couldn't look me in the face. We both dealt with the paperwork as if I had not said anything. Then I left.
It's amazing what things you never even think will be a problem can floor you! I told this story because I knew you would all understand.
