Phone: ring ring

Phone: ring ring [phone number with 215 area code]

Me: I'm sorry?
Guy: Are your parents home?

Long pause.

Me: I'm an adult.
Guy: I'm sorry. You're the homeowner?
Me: Yes.
Guy: I'm sorry about that. [tries to get me to re-subscribe to the Inquirer]
Me: Cuts him off. I don't live in the Inquirer area any more.
Guy: About to tell me I can still get the Inquirer in Maryland or some BS like that. Oh, well where do you live?
Me: Kentucky
Guy: [not suppressing a chuckle very well] Oh, well you enjoy yourself there, then.
Me: click
