Bus Tales - What’s happened to you on the bus?

Campaign or conference call?

This morning, a nice lady got on the (standing room only) bus and was on her cellphone. She said what I assume was her first name “Ginger” and then proceeded to say “Hope” about 50 times, getting louder with each repetition. I imagined two possible scenarios:

1a. She was trying to join a conference call and her last name was “Hope.”
1b. She was just “hoping” she would finally get into the call.
2. She was making phone calls on behalf of Barack Obama and felt like repeating his campaign message to make her point.

Whether conference call or campaign call, kind of a strange thing to do on the bus don’t you think?
