Jill was angry, and called Jack. As a result of that call, not only was Jill still angry with Jack, but she had two more reasons to be. |

haha sounds like most male-female conversations when the female is angry ;p did Jill speak to Jack? is it relevant how long for? did she tell him she was angry at him? and why? did he try to explain? make an excuse? |

So not only wasn't he there to answer the phone she used up her last bit of credit as the flippin' answerphone cut in to tell her what she now knew anyway. Harumph. ;-) |

So... Jill used a phone to call Jack? Jill called as in yelled? If phone, did she get his answering service? Did the message on the answering service upset her more? Did the simple fact that he didn't answer upset her more? Had she been able to talk to him earlier? That day? The previous day? Is that conversation relevant? Jill is H/A/F? Jack is H/A/M? Are they dating? Do they have a buisness relationship? Are they related by blood or marriage? |

Is Jack her cable guy who was supposed to show up between 8 am and 6pm? When she called, did somebody else answer the phone? Was that somebody else male? Female? A buisness associate of Jack's? A close friend? Was Jack jacking around with his girlfriend and keeping his clients waiting longer than they had to? |

Darn. I was so hoping for a "Hello! Jack's Pants. He's not in them right now." conversation. Did Jack not have an answering service/machine? Did the phone just keep ringing? Did Jill even connect? Is her phone broken? Is his phone broken? |

Recap check: So Jill's mad... at Jack? Something Jack was supposed to do? Didn't do? Did do?... tries to call him on his... landline? cell phone? Voice over IP phone? Sattelite phone?... and he... doesn't answer? Can't answer? Answers, but the reception is terrible?... and Jill hangs up even more pissed off. |

So is part of the reason that she's angry just that he didn't answer his phone? Is he supposed to answer his phone when he's at work? For some work-related reason? Was he in the same room as his phone when he didn't answer it? Was he awake? |

Do we have to find out WHY the phone is in the room with Jill? Is there another relationship between them than being boss-employee? Is it relevant what room Jill is in when she makes the call? I assume she realizes his phone is there? She can hear it ring, right? |

So her initial reason for being mad was... that Jack wasn't where he was supposed to be? That an issue had arisen that needed his attention and she was just annoyed that the issue had come up? A customer was upset and blamed Jack? Jack had neglected his duties? Her two new reasons for being angry are... Jack wasn't where he was supposed to be? He had taken too long on his "break"? He had stepped out and thus neglected a customer? He was supposed to have his cell phone on his person and didn't? She was unable to get ahold of him? |

Yes That an issue had arisen that needed his attention Yes and she was just annoyed that the issue had come up? No A customer was upset and blamed Jack? No Jack had neglected his duties? By not being there, I suppose he had Her two new reasons for being angry are... Jack wasn't where he was supposed to be? No, that was the original reason He had taken too long on his "break"? Again, this is pretty much the original reason He had stepped out and thus neglected a customer? No He was supposed to have his cell phone on his person and didn't? Yes She was unable to get ahold of him? So yes You've pretty much got the first two reasons for being angry with Jack (though him being on a break wasn't exactly what I was thinking of, if you want you can try to find out the exact reason he wasn't there.) |

oh, so if I understand the "other way around"-- jill told jack that she was going somewhere, and while she was gone, jack decided to leave? is this correct? if so, did she leave the restaurant, or did she have something to do in another part of the restaurant? was jill gone for seconds? minutes? an hour? more than an hour? did she come back earlier than she said she was going to come back? earlier than jack thought she was going to come back? |

No, but see Damia's post below if so, did she leave the restaurant, or did she have something to do in another part of the restaurant? was jill gone for seconds? minutes? an hour? more than an hour? did she come back earlier than she said she was going to come back? earlier than jack thought she was going to come back? None of these, it was Jack that left...sorry for the confusion, again see Damia's post below Damia or do you mean by other way round that jill sent jack somewhere? YES! |

was she angry about how long whatever it was was taking? is that why she phoned him in the first place? Yes. This seems to be slowing down a bit so I'll post a recap: ***RECAP*** Jill was angry, and called Jack. As a result of that call, not only was Jill still angry with Jack, but she had two more reasons to be. Jill owns a restaurant where Jack works. She had sent him out on an errand, but he was taking too long about it so she was angry and phoned him. However, Jack has left his mobile in the room where Jill is, so she hears it ring and is angry with him for not taking it with him when he went out. To solve: you have the first two reasons why Jill was angry, you just need the last reason and to sum up what happened. |

did he have an annoying ringtone? had he left a bad answerphone message? Neither, but you're kind of on the right track... |

So is the last reason she is angry related some issue about Jack's phone? But not the ringtone or his message on his voicemail, right? |

can't remember--is it important which room in the restaurant the phone is located? is she mainly just bothered that she can hear the phone--so she knows he did not take it with him, thus she won't be able to reach him at all? by the way, was jack supposed to have taken the phone with him? so she could call him if the need arose? so she could give him additional instructions about his errand? |

No, just that it's in the same room as Jill (or close enough that she hears it ring and realises Jack has left it) is she mainly just bothered that she can hear the phone--so she knows he did not take it with him, thus she won't be able to reach him at all? This is the second reason for getting angry by the way, was jack supposed to have taken the phone with him? Yes, this is sort of included in the second reason for being angry so she could call him if the need arose? so she could give him additional instructions about his errand? Either, the important thing is that he didn't take it, and now Jill is angry. |

Is it relevant exactly where in the room Jack's phone was? Did he leave it somewhere inappropriate? |

Did his phone annoy someone else when it rang? Like a customer, who got so upset he/she left? or one of the other employees? |

Did Jill send Jack on an errand to obtain something for the restaurant? Had they run out of X and couldn't make anymore of XYZ until he came back? Were customers threatening to walk out of the restaurant because they came to have the XYZ special? Was Jack supposed to find out which varieties of X the store had and then call Jill when he arrived to list them? Is Jill really upset because Jack will either have to make a judgement call on which X to select (bad since he's not a cook) or he'll have to rush back empty handed? Had Jack left anything else at the restaurant besides his phone? Like the company credit card to pay for lots of X? |

Yes Had they run out of X and couldn't make anymore of XYZ until he came back? Irrelevant really, but this sounds plausible Were customers threatening to walk out of the restaurant because they came to have the XYZ special? Possibly Was Jack supposed to find out which varieties of X the store had and then call Jill when he arrived to list them? No Is Jill really upset because Jack will either have to make a judgement call on which X to select (bad since he's not a cook) or he'll have to rush back empty handed? No Had Jack left anything else at the restaurant besides his phone? Like the company credit card to pay for lots of X? No, the phone i the only thing that's relevant |

The third thing that Jill is angry about; at the same moment as she got angry for reason 2? a bit later, but while the phone was still ringing? as she hangs up? a little while after she has disconnected? If Jack had had a different make of phone, would the third reason still apply? |

This as she hangs up? a little while after she has disconnected? So no to rest If Jack had had a different make of phone, would the third reason still apply? Yes, I think this reason applies to all makes of mobile phone |

None of these are relevant, except it probably wasn't set to silent as then Jill wouldn't have noticed it ringing |

Does it have anything to do with the lights on the phone? Or the display picture he has? |

I know the name comes up when someone rings you, had he set his phone to show something mean when she called him? like so it might show the wicked witch is calling, or similar? |

***** SPOILER ***** Jill owns a restaurant where Jack works. One day she had sent him out on an errand to get something urgently needed by the restaurant. He dawdled on the way, so was not back when expected making Jill angry (first reason). She called his mobile phone, only to hear it ringing on the table near her.She was therefore angry with Jack for being irresponsible and leaving his phone behind, leaving her unable to reach him (second reason). She picked up Jack's phone to turn it off, and realised that instead of saying "Jill calling" or maybe "Boss calling", it read "The Dragon calling". Shocked to discover that she evidently wasn't as popular with her staff as she thought, Jill now had a third reason to be angry! Thanks to everyone who played, and to Damia for chasing it through to the final solution! |
