A Good Day
Upon returning to my building after breakfast down the street, I open the door to the empty elevator to the sound of a woman’s voice.
“Hello?” it says.
After a disconcerted pause, I respond. “Hello?”
“Yes, I’m calling from Nielsen Media Research,” the woman informs me. I don’t catch the rest of what she says as I step into the elevator.
In fact, I interrupt her. “You know you’re calling an elevator.”
“What?”
“You’re calling an elevator.”
Cue her own disconcerted pause. “No, I didn’t know that,” she says. “Well, have a good day!”
