Conversation 1: Hi, Tom. This is Hannah from apartment 4C. - Oh, hi, Hannah. - There is something wrong with my garbage disposal.

Did you accidentally drop something in the disposal? - No. I only use it about once a week. I hardly ever put anything into it.

Actually, I've heard that too little use is bad for a disposal. - Well, no one ever told me that.

Okay, come on over now, and show me how to use it. - If the key doesn't work, I'll have to call the repairman.

Well, if it doesn't work, it's no big deal. - Yes, but if something's broken, I like to get it fixed ASAP.

Conversation 2: Tom, are you there? It's Hannah from 4C. - Hey, Hannah. Long time no hear from. - My garbage disposal refuses to work.

Did you put something in it that you shouldn't have? - I use it rarely. When I do use it, I put pasta or other soft food into it.

Maybe you haven't been using the disposal enough. - Sort of like an air conditioner in your home or car?
-

Exactly. However, sometimes you can get it going again by using the key. - What key? - A disposal key. I've got a spare one, so I'll come over to show you.

Okay, come on over now, and show me how to use it. - If the key doesn't correct the problem, I'll have to call someone.

Well, like I said, I rarely use it so it won't be a problem. - Well, it's my nature to fix things as soon as I can.
