Actual conversation over the phone:
Me: I can’t get the lawn mower to start.
Him: You’re mowing the lawn?
Me: If I can get the lawn mower to start. What am I doing wrong?
Him: (silence)
Me: I’ve checked the gas, I’ve pushed that pumpy thingy, I’m holding in the bar and it won’t start.
Him: (laughing) You do realize I’m in New York.
Me: Well I’m not asking you to fly back home but can’t you talk me through?
Him: (lots more laughing and I think I may have heard a chortle or two as well)
Me: Why are you laughing? This is not funny.
Him: You’re funny.
