Don't Sneeze!

More and more, it is voice response.

I check with my bank daily and now instead of tapping in all the numbers, you talk to a "guy".

After a while, you think you know "him".

I even have said please and thank you.

But this morning as I was holding the phone, I sneezed.

Quiet at the other end and then, "sorry, I cannot respond to your request".

You think he could have said "gesundheit".
