The context with my grandfather was more along these lines-
He'd be lying on the couch watching TV, my grandmother would be in the kitchen trying to tend to the stove, the dishes, and setting the table, the phone would ring, and he'd shout, "woman, phone!" or somebody would knock at the door and he'd shout, "woman, door!"
I suppose in his defense, he ruined his back working in heavy industry, but I don't think it would have been the death of him to answer the phone.
