Metro Editor, answer me!
By Logan | October 7, 2008
My co-editor got a message today from some old guy who obviously didn’t know he was talking to an answering machine. The recording is below, but if you don’t have sound right now, here’s a recap. It picks up mid phrase, sounding like he says “in please,” but it’s really garbled. Then there’s a pause, and these dramatic words, in his gravelly old-man voice:
“Metro Editor? … Hello? … Good hell, answer me.”
Another 10 seconds of silence before he hangs up. Poor guy was in the middle of some emergency and we weren’t there for him.

For YEARS after we first got our answering machine, my grandmother would leave us messages like that, not understanding why we wouldn’t respond. After all, she HEARD my voice say “Hello, you’ve reached the Olsens.”
The good news is that if that guy was calling the metro editor, he likely wasn’t in the middle of an emergency. Instead, he wanted to request an article be written about the noisy people in the apartment above his.

She said, “Elders?” but then quickly trailed off and gasped and said, “Oh! Mammamia!” and hung up. It was the freakiest thing, and they figured something awful happened to her. Turns out, she just realized that her pasta was boiling over.
