Woman calls an old man and the driver picks the call.
Woman: Hello
Driver: Hello
Woman: Is my boss's father there?
Driver doesn't reply, but shouts from there itself, "sir, sir, call for you!"
Old man: Hello
Woman: Hello sir, it's me!
Old man: Oh, is that you? I thought some important call and came running!
Woman: Yes sir. It's me, the driver didn't even ask who was on the call and gave it to you!
Old man: (sounds miffed) You don't have manners to talk in the phone!
Woman: (confused) What?!
Old man: You don't have proper manners to talk over the phone. When you call a person, you should say who you are first...
Woman: If the driver had asked who it is, I would have told him then itself.
Old man: That's not the manners. You were not given proper manners. You should first tell who you are, talk to my driver, enquire about his family...
Woman: (miffed) Maybe culture difference!
Old man: No, I have seen many others from your place, I have worked with them. All cultures are same, there's no difference...
Woman: (shocked) Oh!
Woman tries to argue, but the old man keeps shouting from the other side...
Old man: I know your character. You purposefully didn't talk to my driver. If you had a good character and good manners you would have done that...
Woman thinks, "oh, man! Am I a customer service agent who is calling to sell any product to say, 'Good morning sir. I'm so and so, calling you from the State Bank of India/ ICICI Bank/Union Bank/blah blah blah... Is it the right time to talk to you blah blah blah?'"
The old man shifts the topic from manners to character and the argument continues...
