so iâm riding the elevator up to my apartment when the emergency phone in the elevator starts ringingÂ
and i just stand there for a second because this thing is like thirty years old and has never rung or even been used from what i know
but eventually i answer it thinking maybe somethingâs wrong with the elevator?? itâs an emergency phone itâs probably an emergency??? i dunno
except i shit you not itâs a telemarketerÂ
a telemarketer thatâs as confused as i am when i finally interrupt him mid-spiel to inform him he has the wrong number and then interrupt him again to explain further that âuh, no, seriously, this is an elevator phone. iâm standing in an elevator. talking to you. on the emergency phone. i really think you got the wrong numberâ
âoh,â says telemarketer guy.
thereâs some mutually-confused silence.
âso, this is my stop,â i say. âi gotta go.â
âoh,â says telemarketer guy.
âgood luck,â i add, because telemarketer guy seems like heâs having an existential crisis. and then i hang up on him, because heâs having an existential crisis and wonât actually end the call, and because again iâm talking on an elevator emergency phone and, you know, this is my stop, i gotta go.
