no it bugs the living s**t out of me too   worse still, at work the other day I visited one of our other sites and needed to sign in at reception, she was laid back in the chair with a nail file in her hand talking on the headset, it was busy and i was in a hurry.  She gave me a look and said into the headset "give me a minute I've got a boy looking lost here".  It took everything not to reach over and rip her headset off along with her head.  I'm used to getting asked if i'm a manger not a f**king boy!   Utterly pathetic behaviour by people who don't know or simply lack the ability to act professionally  
  
She was ugly too, the b***ch
