"My name's Suzuki. Did you call me?"
"This is LINC Media, can we help you?"
"No, I just want to know why you called."
"I'm sorry sir, let me see who might have called you [10 minutes go by as the LINC Media receptionist calls every extension asking if anyone is trying to reach a Suzuki-san.]"
"Hello, hello?"
"I'm sorry sir, we can't find who was trying to call you, would you like to leave a message?...Oh! He cut me off, how rude!"
