This reminds me of a story a professor who taught me experimental subatomic physics during undergrad told.fresh_42 said:
Being in a cyclotron laboratory, they used to have an elderly woman calling them at regular intervals asking them if they were running that "infernal machine" again because her joints were aching. Finally they took to answering:
- Yes, Mrs Andersson, we are so sorry for the inconvenience. We are turning it down now ... There, does that feel better?
- Yes, much better thank you. Take a bit more care with that now.
- Of course Mrs Andersson, just call us back if we overdo it again. You have a nice weekend now.
Obviously, many times the cyclotron was not operating when these phone calls occurred ...
