cyranoA question for those whose work involves answering the phone "Thank you for calling Megacorp X, this is My Name." Do you get a pleasant sensation* when a stranger closes the call by saying "Thank you, My Name"? Or does it make you a little creeped out that a stranger knows your name?
*There's supposed to be a psychological theorum that hearing your own name is pleasant, barring context like your mother shouting it across the neighborhood. And then there's the other theorum that this means the person is thinking of you as a human being with a name rather than an automated information machine on the other side of the phone.
You may consider this IFIAYAQD!
