"Who's that?" I swear, that IS her pet phrase. How else would she be repeating it a gazillion times a day? Excuse #1: She's the new kid on the block Excuse #2: She needs time to memorize all the new faces, new names Excuse #3: All Caucasians look alike? Truth #1: Spitting out "Who's that?" every time someone walks by does not make her look any more diligent Truth #2: Entrapping the other person to repeat the same answer over and over again within the same hour only serve as ridicule
