SEN AND THE OPERATOR

How do you spell PETTY: ENCOUNTER WITH MR AND MS.PETTY
Here is something we, foreign VOICES face everyday in our life, when a suddenly superior clerk asks us to spell the name, which could be as simple as Thomas,etc. Does that attitude reflect a general lack of education or a mental condition?
This is what happened to SEN: As reported by INDIA TODAY OCT 26, 98 ISSUE.
To a Canadian telephone operator Sen kept trying to spell his surname, without success. Finally, exasperated, he said: "S for Somebody, E for Everybody and N for Nobody".

One of my friends has a solution for these exasperating clerks. He makes them spell their (clerk's) names. May be, we ought to practice this very often.
