1-- Hi, Tom. This is Hannah from apartment 4C.
2-- Oh, hi, Hannah.
1-- There is something wrong with my garbage disposal.
2-- Exactly what's going on?
1-- When I turn on the disposal switch, all I get is silence.
2-- When did this happen?
1-- Well, about a week ago is when it started sounding strange.
2-- Did you accidentally drop something in the disposal?
1-- No. I only use it about once a week. I hardly ever put anything into it.
2-- Actually, I've heard that too little use is bad for a disposal.
1-- Well, no one ever told me that.
2-- Did you try to turn it with the disposal key?
1-- I don't have a key.
2-- Well, I've got a spare key, so I'll come over to show you how to use it.
1-- Okay, come on over now, and show me how to use it.
2-- If the key doesn't work, I'll have to call the repairman.
1-- Well, if it doesn't work, it's no big deal.
2-- Yes, but if something's broken, I like to get it fixed ASAP.
