Just had the craziest phone call. Me: Hey, can I manage my booking? Agent: You need to talk to the hotel directly, let me check if they are here… oh, looks like it is 1 a.m. there, please call tmr. Me: But it is in Greece, it is still fairly early there now. Agent: Just checked the time online, sir, it is 1 a.m. Me: That is impossible, it is Greece. It cannot be night there now, where do you answer this call from? Agent: Sir, I just checked (sigh), I am calling from Sri Lanka. Me: Is Greece east or west from you? It is still daytime where you are, it is likely 1 p.m. there. Agent: (now visibly annoyed) Yes, it is daytime here, it is 4 p.m. I just told you I am looking at the time right now online and it is 1 a.m., sir. We would be happy to assist you tomorrow. Me: The sun does not work this way. Let me send an email, please have a great day. Reminder: a median IQ of 100 means half the population is below the threshold.
