So I’m in bed. I work stupid hours so other people aren’t in bed. The phone rings. I ignore it. It keeps ringing for a long time, so I decide someone _really_ wants to get hold of a householder so I get out of bed, rush down stairs, reach for phone… hand is now one inch from the phone… It stops ringing.  
You won’t believe how often this happens… exactly as described.
