You can ring my bell

I just made a big mistake. I answered the phone after midnight.

I was nice as long as I could be. I hung up on the crazy man, but not without lots of "sir, I cannot answer your question. Sir, I'm hanging up the phone now. Sir, I cannot help you and you need to call back Monday morning. Sir, I will hang up the phone."

This is why I have ignored the phone for three months. The boss gave me permission to hang up on people. I can't quite do that -- I consider it rude -- so I'll just make sure I never pick up calls after midnight. Or maybe after the lottery call at 11:20 p.m.
