I know why this was........
I used to work in a call centre and I couldn't give 2 shits about anything other than getting paid and getting home on time. I will bet you 1 million pounds that the person you were talking to was 2 minutes from hometime! I used to pull that all the time. The managers could tell to the second what time you turned your phone off but we weren't recorded, so if the phone rang anything from abut 7-8 minutes before end of shift we would say something like you were told, or would say computers were down, ring back in half an hour, or anything to get them off the phone so we could clock out on time.
Ahhhh Happy days.....
