Have you or your personnel ever made an embarassing mistake? I was reminded of one today while I was out walking the dogs. I passed this house in an executive (read big $$$) neighborhood. We had gone to a carbon monoxide detector activation there a little over a year ago. When we arrived, we were met by a very attractive woman in her mid forties. We went into the house with our CO meter and got a slightly elevated reading in the basement, where the detector had activated. I was telling her of the readings we got when the garage door opened. She said that "Frankie" was home from work and I should speak to her. I got the hint...this home was occupied by a lesbian couple. "Frankie" was what one would call "soft butch"..wearing a pantsuit and matching jacket She was not overly masculine, yet she was not quite feminine....
One of the jakes in my crew had broken his glasses and was waiting for his girlfriend to bring him his spare pair when we went out to the call. He's extremely nearsighted and doesn't see that well without them.
He saw "Frankie" come in from the garage and said "no need to worry sir...everything is all right...the LT is talking to your wife..."
Imagine his surprise when she answered "thank you"!
Anybody else have an embarrassing experience?
