A couple of days ago I posted the story of a FD station running people, but
always having the answering station go first. I think I have figured out the
situation where the (female) operator might have learned that procedure:
elementary school teacher, with all the little hands waving in the air, the
students bursting with excitement to give the right answer. "Yes, ... Johnny!
What's YOUR number?"
(Alternative: Nurturing parent with a bunch of kids (maybe sombody's soccer
team) going for ice cream. "OK, who knows what they want ... Sally, what's
your choice?")
Please forgive the stereotyping, but I think the scenario does fit. And, if
it's right, then to the operator it made perfect sense!
