When acronyms attack...

Morriss, Brent, David, William, and I shared a laugh with Matt Vance after our sessions at the Washington CUL Annual Convention.
Matt works for Industrial Credit Union and recently called a member, introducing himself as “Matt from ICU.”
The member’s first reaction was panic, thinking that her husband, who was in the hospital, had perhaps taken a turn for the worse.
Ahh, good times.
That is sad and funny at the same time.
On a similar note, I was a dog groomer during college for a company called “Furry Fantasies”.
Imagine the phone calls I had to make to unsuspecting husbands.
“Hi, this is Tony from Furry Fantasies – may I speak to your wife please?”
I’ve told that story to so many people at Vancity. So friggin’ funny.
Hey Trey, Brent, and William,
It was awesome to meet all of you in person at long last. That was a blast; we’ll have to do it again soon…. I will keep in touch! And it was great to meet Matt too…. thanks for sharing the great story Matt!
Guys, it was great to finally meet you all and catch up. Hopefully we can do it again soon
I just cautiioned a great credit union (Buckeye State Credit Union) to stop referring to themselves as – you guessed it – BSCU!!!!!
