A moment of your time

At home. The phone rings.

"Hello. I'm conducting a survey about transport on behalf of Transport for London. Can I ask you a couple of questions?"

"OK, I can answer a couple of questions." (After all, I've just been crammed on an overcrowded tube train after a 15 minute wait for one I could actually get on.)

"It'll take about 10-15 minutes."

"Eh, that's more than a couple of questions then."

I hang up.
