new oc "unnamed switchboard operator"
If you dial 0 on your telephone in Metro you may well find yourself talking to Rosemary Treadway, a Bell Canada operator at Main Square in east Toronto. 1979 [TPL Archives]
Q: Please Help Settle a Bet. My Switchboard Operator Says That I Am a Terrible Person and Everyone I Know Will Come Back to Haunt Me When They Die, But I Say Otherwise. Who’s Right?
A: You must not be familiar with the old phrase, “A switchboard operator is right twice a day, and also all the other times, too.” We suggest changing your ways, or getting used to never sleeping again.
