I worked as a computer tech for an insurance company. One day I received a call from supervisor on the sales floor.
Me: “Hello, IT.”
Supervisor: “Hello?”
Me: “Hello?”
Supervisor: “Hello?”
Me: “Hello?”
The phone went dead. I put the phone down, and it rang again.
Me: “Hello, IT.”
Supervisor: “Hello, did you just ring me?”
Me: “No you rang me.”
Supervisor: “Did I? Oh, well, the reason I’m ringing now is because you couldn’t hear me when I rang you before.”
Me: “Yes I could.”
Supervisor: “No you couldn’t.”
Me: “Yes I could.”
Supervisor: “No you couldn’t.”
Me: “Believe me, I could.”
Supervisor: “Can you hear me now?”
Me: “Yes, of course I can.”
Supervisor: “Oh, that’s all right then. Catch you later.”
