Wake up calls are strange

Why do people lie when somebody calls in the morning?

*ring ring* .... *ring ring* .... *ring ring*

me: "Hi.. What's up?"

caller: "Sorry did I wake you up?!"

me:
"No no no. I was just lying in the bed and chilling.."

Why do we always have to lie instead of just saying:

"Yes you did wake me up but it's cool. What's up?"

or: "Yes you did. Call me back when the sun comes up!"

We don't want to make people apologize..? Because inevitably they always do, and then we have to do the whole "no, no, no, it's really not a big deal" routine.

Or in my case, sometimes they call around ten in the morning, and if I'm still sleeping I'm too embarrassed to say I was sleeping, so I clear my throat before I answer and then I just plain lie about the sleep part. Of course that late people are usually too embarrassed to ask if I were sleeping anyway. Because for all intents and purposes I should've gotten up like most people get up when it was still pitch dark outside and dragged my feet to the library.

Not a chance of that happening in this lifetime if I spend more winters in Finland. As I look outside the gray is just overwhelming. There's literally no decent light out there, just this haze. So basically I don't actually really care what time anyone calls, half the way I mostly feel like hibernating.

Oops, didn't mean to rant.

Lucky you for getting to go to SA. Lucky, lucky guy. I'm trying to figure out where -I- could go and when.
