The funny thing is, I can actually see someone doing that! I once worked with a guy that got a phone call, and this is what I heard.
"Hello?. No, thats okay, take as much time as you need. Yea that's fine, you just don't worry about a thing until you have everything sorted out, it'll be fine", okay, bye."
I asked the guy wtf was that about, to which he replied, I dunno, some girl called the wrong number and thought I was her boss. She was asking for some time off so I told her sure. I shook my head telling him he probably just got some girl fired, but he just said man she was crying and could barely speak, she's got some problems. If she gets fired for that, she didn't wanna work there anyway.
