lothiriel_1... and DON'T CALL BACK!!!!!
I worked last night. There was a crop from 6:00pm until midnight. I was there closing up until a little after 1:00am. Got home around 2:00.
Freaking phone rang at about 7:30 or so. Glanced at the caller ID - no one I knew, so I rolled over and ignored it. Phone rang AGAIN 5 minutes later. Decided to get up and get the paper. While scanning a sales circular, the phone rang for a third time. This time I answered, whereupon a woman with a heavy accent proceeded to tell me that her daughter was sick and wouldn't be coming to work today.
Ah, the various ways that a sleep-deprived individual could choose to respond to this.
Option 1: "You have the wrong number. Again."
Option 2: "That's nice. Perhaps you could call her employer and inform them, since I really don't give a rat's ass."
Option 3: Simply hang up and return the favor at 4:30 the following morning whilst getting ready for work, thus taking advantage of the caller ID.
Option 4: "I didn't actually answer the phone saying 'Subway, can I help you,' did I?"
For the record, I went with Option 4, but hindsight being 20/20, I wish I'd gone with Option 2 - it has a satisfyingly snarky tone to it that appeals to me.
