The
other day I needed to call home, but the only pay phone I could find was in use...
So I stood to the side and politely waited until it was free, thinking it would only be a couple of minutes. Five minutes went by, and still the man was on the phone.
I noticed he was just standing there, not saying a word. Two more minutes went by, and he still wasn't saying anything...
Finally, I tapped him on the shoulder and asked if I could use the phone; just for minute... I really wouldn't be long, but needed to make an important call.
"Just hold on, buddy!" he responded, covering the receiver. "I'm talking to my wife."
