I just got off a half-hour call with a man. Parts of it went as follows:
Silly Guest (SG): What time is checkin and checkout?
Me: Checkin is at 3, and checkout is at noon.
SG: Three at night?
Me: Er, that would be 3pm, or 3 in the afternoon.
SG: And what time is noon?
Me: ... That's twelve o'clock. Daytime.
SG: That's noon?
Me: Yes.
Anyhow, I spent approximately thirty minutes on the line with this calibre of questioning.
Share my pain.
