Left You Hanging
(My coworker takes this call towards the end of the day:)
Coworker: “Thank you for calling [Newspaper]. [Coworker] speaking. How may I help you?”
Caller: “Yes, I have a question. Can you help me?”
Coworker: “I’ll try. What is your question?”
Caller: *in a very snippy tone* “Well, THANK YOU very much!” *hangs up*
Coworker: “What just happened?”
