People who call the wrong number and then don't believe you when you tell them.

Jsut happened to me. Frickin' idiot. He even told me the number he wanted. I said no: this is xxx-yyyy. He blamed it on someone's call forwarding.

Idiot.

 

[narlus]

there is some person who still occasionally calls my mobile number, when they've obviously mixed it up w/ someone else. i ended up adding them to my address book as "random caller" so i know i can ignore it.

I still get this lady from a hotel that refuses to believe that I don't care that Doug left his suitcase at the hotel.

I try to forward his calls, but my phone just rings and rings. Voicemail says "John can't take your call".

i had someone from Comcast cable argue with me for a minute that he wasn't a phone soliciter since i'm a customer of Comcast already. He called me at work on my cel phone trying to pitch digital cable or whatever....
After a minute of being somewhat cordial i had to resort goin smooth south on him construction roofer style. i never have gotten a call back from them since. Man i wish Comcast wasn't a monopoly around here.....

it's funny that people can't just hang up. it's like we have to be polite to this complete stranger on the other end of the phone....

I had someone call me last night wanting money for lost children or something.

soon as he says, "hi, I'm from..." I say "I don't have any money..."
he reads about 2 paragraphs from his sheet, saying "you can post date a check...". I said, "i don't have any money..."
he then hung up.

then I kick myself for not hanging up on him. it would save us both time.... :nuts:

Our home phone number is one digit off from the local Sonic Drive in, so we contantly get phone calls thinking they are calling Sonic............ :angry:

 

[yonton228]

You should go get the suitcase and see what Doug left behind.

[Seinfeld] HELLO, AND WELCOME TO MOVIEPHONE!!!...Why don't you just TELL me the name of the movie you'd like to see?[/Seinfeld]

What if Doug left a million bucks in cash in his suitcase?!

 

[SkaredShtles]

Loco?

So do I.............



-S.S.-

 

[JRB]

I would, but I don't know how to convince her to tell me where I left it.

 

[Velocity Girl]

I've had a few of those. The funniest I've seen is a friend of mine's cell phone. She's been getting calls for "Reggie" for about 2 years or so. She's even gotten called from his job, as a city bus driver, asking if he wants to fill in for a shift. You would think that after her telling them it's not his phone anymore, and after 2 years, they might have the new phone number of their employee???

i get random calles on my cell from dude whos name i forgot, but once he left a messege for whoever and he said the guy had to come over as quick as he could because he had that stuff he needed.... then as the guy was hanging up i could hear the sounds of people doing the nasty.... like hardcore nasty....

so i figure it was some 20 something single white guy living by himself and he just got a huge bag of weed and wanted his buddy to come over and smoke it with him and they were gonna watch porn too.....

 

[valve bouncer]

My uncle used to get constant calls for the local Chinese restaurant. Eventually he used to just take the order and then block the number.

There are 4 folks in the phone book with my exact name. One of them is an HVAC repair guy. I get calls for him at least once a week at all hours. I have his number memorized and just give it to them. I figure the last thing a person needs with a hot or cold house is smart ass messing with them.

The coolest thing was last summer the AC went out in the middle of the night, I called him and he was over in an hour and only charged me parts to fix it.

 

[skinny mike]

random people who dont speak english call my house sometimes.

 

[JRogers]

I get messages left for me in Spanish all the time.

For months, the Newark public school system thought that my sister was the father of a truant student named Alfredo. She'd always be getting calls regarding this jackass: "Alfredo hasn't been to school in a month"...."Alfredo needs to go to summer school"...etc. They just wouldn't stop calling no matter what she said.

 

[dwaugh]

You answer, say hello, wait a few seconds to see who it is, and if it is an unwanted call just keep going "...we are unavailable right now so if you would just leave a message that would be great." I've heard sories of that working, people will think they are leaving a message. :devil:
I havent tried though. We are on the no-call list.

 

[bikeguy100k]

One time I was getting in the elevator at work and heard "Hello? ....Hello? ....Hello?" I was kind of perplexed that I was hearing someone in the elevator!

I responded out loud and opened the safety phone door and it was a guy that called for some person whose name I've forgotten. I say to the guy "you've called an elevator!" He didn't believe me, but eventually hung up. He didn't call back.

I thought our elevator was posessed! :evil:

That's like my parents phone, which was one digit off from the Bellingham post office; we used to get so many angry callers

 

[lovebunny]
