Jellitah what's with the pictures? I didn't get the message ooo, but the part about ashawooo Mrs got me laughing why would you even say that and what do you mean by ashawoo Mrs?

@ OP I don't know what it is with the Mrs title but I've seen a lot of attitude at the work place from married women on this issue and most of them don't seem to like the office culture of people being addressed on first name basis.

What exactly is the issue here. ..isn't she Mrs. Somebody or did she give you the wrong name? I'm not getting your point.

@op, so how did you expect a married woman to tell you her name in AN OFFICE? Her first name ba? No, an office is an official place, i would rather love to be addressed officially............Mrs.......... Even, if im not married, i love to be addressed officially in my place of work(office)........... Miss...........

My opinion anyway!
