Just to show you what true unadulterated power the phone company wields...
I had a caller today ring me up for the sole purpose of accusing me of evil.
"Operator," she said, "it's zero degrees out, and it's the operator's fault."
Yup, that's what she said. I asked her for clarification, but she only repeated her earlier accusation, two or three times. She didn't sound especially angry or anything; she wanted to take time out of her busy day (dusting her Precious Moments collection and crocheting little cardigan sweaters for her hamsters, I'm guessing) to let me know that this cold, cold weather was, well, my fault.
The strange thing is that this was not the first time I've been told by a customer that I had the power of weather control.
Alllllllllrighty, then. I'm assuming this is a union thing, and letting it go.

How do you dial the operator. You press Zero.
What's the temperature? It's zero degrees.
You clearly have the power of 0.
