    As you can tell by me posting about it, I was highly amused by it.. He could just picture me standing in my white house on the phone telling him he called the wrong number to get out of paying him! (I wonder if he is going to tell that lady in the white house about the phone conversation he had with me...)

    This year when I was taking Aiden trick or treated I got a phone call on my cell and it was a girl screaming at me about why I texted her and was flipping out I DONT even have text messaging! She wouldnt listen and was being really mean so my friend grabbed the phone and flipped out on her! I hate when people scream out at other people for calling/texting them when they must have gotten the wrong number and when you try to tell them they have the wrong number they dont stop!

    LOL!!!
    A while ago I had a funny call too! It was a older lady and she wanted to speak to Willy! I told her there was no Willy in my house, but she kept asking the same thing over and over again. I finally put the receiver down.

    Now guess what: she called back right away: "Is Willy there????"

    Oh my, I almost went nuts

    A friend of mine married to the guy who dialed her numbers by mistake. They ended up talking for 2 hours. He forgot who he intended to call.

    The very next day, he dialed her again (this time, it wasn't a wrong numbers anymore ) They got engaged 6 months later, and have now been married for almost 10 years. The last time I checked, they have three kids, 2 dogs, 2 cats & a bunny together - and the story of how they met are told over and over again.. I myself must have heard it a zillion times!

    So you'd never know..





    Thanks ~Jessie~

    Now see when I get the rude ones....the ones that just won't accept that there is a number mis dial....i simply tell them that whomever they are looking for is "occupied "with one of my "best girls/guys" right now and as soon as their credit card clears i will pass the message on to call them...................

    I know what you mean. Here is my sych

    phone rings

    me: Good morning Veterans Services

    lady: Yes Felix needs his rabies shot and he has a terrible time having a movement.

    me: I'm sorry ma'am you have the wrong number. This is the Veterans Services office.

    lady: I know that is why I'm calling. I've called this number for the last 15 years.

    me: Ma'am I think you want this number 989 555-5555 as it is the one to the local vets office.

    lady: No this is the number I want. Let me talk to your supervisor.

    me: Yes ma'am please hold for one moment.

    By this time I'm thinking about something sad so I don't crack up on the phone because she is arguing with me and pass the phone to my boss who was sitting across the desk from me.

    Him: Veterans Services

    I'm sorry ma'am we don't offer veterinary services here. We offer services to veterans only.

    No ma'am I will not come take your dog to the vet's office

    No ma'am this isn't Dr. Morris and no he doesn't work here. His number is (989) 555-5555.

    Goodbye ma'am.

    That is one phone call we get at least once a week.

    A few months ago I came home to discover a voice mail on my telephone:

    "This is Tanya xxxxx's Mother and I want her to come home immediately or else....." This went on for about two minutes with even the police going to be involved.

    I often wonder what happened when Tanya got home.

    LOL! good stories! Hope Tanya finally made it home.
    I've been getting quotes from different moving companies that have come out. One guy called me after a couple days and said "Oh my gosh! I just realized we had your phone number down wrong! I called & left messages three times at the wrong number. The last call, I went through the whole quote! Then they called me back & said I've been leaving messages on the wrong answering machine." LOL! He was very apologetic. Those other people didn't realize they were "moving"!

    I used to work in a Craft store when i was in college. Once a week, someone would misdial my home number thinking it was the Craft Store (since it was only 1 number off, and the numbers were above/below each other on the keypad).

    I'd usually explain to them that they had the wrong number, but ... since i worked at the store anyway, what were they looking for and i could tell them if we generally carried it at the store ...

    craftstore (###) 742-####
    my.house (###) 745-####

    It always made me snicker, and my roomates always got a kick out of it too
