Coworker: “Hey, can I get your cell phone number?” Me: “Sure” (give them my work cell number) CW: “Oh, I have that number, but I called you last night several times and you didn't answer.” Me: “Ya, that phone goes in my backpack on silent when I leave the office.” CW: “Can I have your personal cell number then?” Me: “No, sorry, my personal cell stays personal” CW: “But then how am I supposed to get a hold of you after hours?” Me: “…Exactly” CW stares incredulously as I smile and walk away.
