Sorry, Wrong Number
Something just happened at work that has never happened in my 29 years in a newsroom.
At the suggestion of another colleague, I called an editor (who I was told might be knowledgeable/helpful) to check on something in a story I was editing.
She answered the phone and I introduced myself, saying: "Hi, [redacted]. It's Kenneth Walsh on the Real-Time Desk."
Her reply? "And you're calling me becaaaaaauuuuuussse????????" in full David Spade character mode.
I was so stunned I could barely speak, eventually mustering up a "never mind" and hanging up the phone. I wouldn't talk that way to someone mugging me
