Sample
answer
Although I avoid picking up call in public places as its
hard to talk over call in crowded places however here I recall a situation
where I received an unexpected phone call from someone I didn’t know, and it
happened in a public place. It was a busy Saturday afternoon, and I was in a
large shopping mall with my brother. We were shopping for some clothes and
accessories, enjoying our time when my phone suddenly rang. I didn’t recognize
the number, but I answered it since I thought it might be important.
It turned out to be a delivery boy who was calling to
confirm an address for a parcel. He asked me if I was aware of a delivery for
my brother. Now, this caught me by surprise because I had no idea that my
brother had ordered something online. The delivery boy mentioned that the
parcel was on its way, and he just needed to confirm the address before
proceeding. At that point, I felt a bit confused and unsure about what to say
because I didn’t want to give out the wrong information.
Fortunately, my brother was standing right next to me, so I
quickly asked him if he had placed an order. He nodded and confirmed that he
had indeed ordered a package, which immediately put my mind at ease. After
that, I gave the correct address to the delivery boy and apologized for the
delay. He seemed understanding and thanked me for confirming the details.
The entire situation was a bit strange because it happened
in the middle of a crowded mall, where there was a lot of noise and distraction
around us. I remember feeling a little stressed initially because I didn’t want
to cause any confusion with the delivery, especially since I wasn’t aware of
the order. However, once everything was sorted out, I felt relieved and glad
that I could help.
Looking back, it was an interesting experience. It reminded
me of how important it is to stay calm and double-check things, even when
you’re caught off guard in a public place. I also realized how convenient it
was that my brother was with me, or else I might not have been able to confirm
the delivery properly.
