There's a way to talk to women who don't know you from Jack the Ripper, and that ain't it.

Came home, phone rings....caller id shows some woman's name, don't know her, but figure I'll pick up. And it's some man asking me who I am! And when I ask him, as the caller, to identify himself, he just goes on in this ass-chewing manner, and I hang up.

He's calling about the newspaper I deliver, but can't be bothered to leave a real message, just a threat to call the paper. I could give a care. Telephone etiquette was well understood at his age...and he sounds older than me, and arrogant. Let him call the paper.
