On our office phones, you must dial '9' to get an outside number and then '1' to indicate you are dialing out of our area code (and maybe even within our area code? Internal calls need neither the '9' to get out nor the first 5 digits of the 10-digit phone number, and I'm never making a local call except internally)

Anyway, he hit the required '9', then '1', but accidentally double-pressed '1' so got connected with emergency services and has had a steady stream of supervisors checking up on him all morning.

Which is pretty funny from my side of the cube wall.


The world will be so much improved if Lily Tomlin was handling the transfer of phone calls instead of a "switchboard."

After all with Lily she "switches" you back, and leaves you with "stitches."

That's a very common thing actually. Cops hate it, especially in places where they have to come. - 26/11/2018 10:19:56 PM 410 Views
They apparently don't have to come, here - 26/11/2018 11:01:55 PM 404 Views
