Yeah, it's no problem answering, but it does make for an awkward phone call!
When they ask if we're open, after I've done my little spiel (Blah Blah Library, this is saralibrary, how can I help you), I really want to say, "No, I'm just here answering the phone for fun."
But I don't, because I'm a professional. ;)
This was delightful! I wrote a term paper on Temperance dramas in undergrad and it was one wacky adventure. I always loved their weird insistence on everyone drinking "pure clear water" when most people living in poverty couldn't find an uncontaminated source.
Ah, yes, the helpful handyman or maintenance staff. Particularly the one who told me that the reason I was getting fluctuating scalding hot and freezing cold water in my shower was because I had replaced their (cheap and crappy) shower head with a decent one. He cheerfully reinstalled their shower head and left. Guess what?

Yeah, I didn't have a steady stream of hot water in the shower from then till I moved out. It just wasn't worth calling them in just to have them mansplain how it was either all my fault or completely in my head.
