It only takes a few minutes.


Wrong again, though it is to be expected from someone with zero life
experience.

Having been involved in many a call up to people who are SUPPOSED to
be reachable and seen the actual results, I feel I am very qualified
to say you are full of **** when you say you can reach people in
a "few minutes" who have zero obligation to be available.


Yeah, seriously.

You're doing well if you can get paramedics to your house within five
minutes even if you're in the middle of a life threatening emergency and
live within spitting distance of a hospital.

Getting J. Random Instructor on the phone in a few minutes from a
standing start? You'll be lucky if you're even talking to the right
department at the airline by that point, and really lucky if they
actually believe that you're serious.
