Her: Pardon me, I have a BIG favor to ask you. (She's holding up her phone in front of her in a pleading position)
Me: Hi, yes! What's that?
Her: Could I borrow your headphones? Please???
Me: (stunned. Presuming it must be an emergency skype call or something) Er... ..sure. How long do you need?
Her: About an hour; you'll be here?
Me: (Assuming she's making her call in the lobby, so why is she asking that... where's she going?!)
An hour??? That's a bit long. Yes, I'll be here, where are you going to be?
Her: Oh, right upstairs.
Me: (huh?)
Her: On the treadmill.
Me: (shock) um..
Her: (grin)
Me: (shock) UMMMM...
Her: (grin)
Me: I need it a bit sooner than that actually, sorry. Maybe you can ask the front desk.
Her: I did! They said no, already. (She looks at me with, "I know, can you even believe that they said no?!" expression).
Me: (oh, totally... how could they possibly say no! :\ )
Her: How about I use them until 7pm?
Me: ..um.. no... I need it sooner than that. Sorry!
Her: 6:50pm?
Me: (seriously?) Actually, I think I need them right now in 10 minutes. It probably won't be worth your time for just 10 minutes.
Her: (she actually pauses to consider 'just 10 minutes')
Me: Right. Sorry about that!
Her: Oh.... (crestfallen with a slight expression of disgust, like I just refused an orphan begging for food) ...Oh alright. I guess I'll just have to--
Me: (cuts her off) ...Okay, good luck. Bye!
