We have some people at work that moved desks, and now they sit about 10 feet down from me. One of them was on the phone and I overheard this:
"...Yes can I speak to Mr something? ... Hello how--... no, nothing is wrong... I'm from [company] and I wanted to ask you--... oh, oh geez, I didn't know... Geez, I'm sorry, I didn't know.... oh... so should I call back later?... OK... OK I'll call back later sorry."
The lady turns to her co-workers sitting near to her: "Oh my god y'all, did you know it is 3 AM in Australia right now?"
"Oh no, it is? What'd you do?"
"I was trying to make a sale... he said he assumed someone was dead when he got the call."
"Oh my god!"
"I know oh my god!"

I laughed a lot. Who could have guessed that a country half way around the world would have a timezone nearly 12 hours different than ours?
Bye bye
