Sorry, wrong number

[Immortalfire]

I got this one at work the other day (a radio station).

Me: Name of station!
Man: I want a job at Ingles bagging groceries.
Me: What?
Man: On the morning program, you have people call that want things, or will do things.
Me: Yes we do.
Man: So, I want a job at Ingles!
Me: Uhm..perhaps you should go by the store, and get an application.
Man: ...................................my number to call is (gives number).
Me: Thank you. *hangs up*

Go apply for a job on your own, dude.

 

[Erzengel]

You better not be working at a Lite station.

Then there's this dude named Greg, who calls and tells us he's scared that someone's gonna get him, and he doesn't play with himself.

Why when you ring someone and you got the wrong number are they always in?

Why do they say when looking for something 'its always in the last place you look' well your not gonnafind your keys and keep on looking are you?

When I first got my cell phone, some old lady kept calling asking for somebody named Kelly Piccolo.

 

[nosebleed.]

I think someone made a thread here about a wrong number they got. They were asking for someone and the Hypester said, "you have the wrong number". The caller said, "What?" and the Hypester said again, "You have the wrong number". The caller then said, "OK DAMMIT!" and hung up on them. The Hypester was soo pissed off that they made a thread to vent.



Well...it was funny back then.

There's nothing I like more than getting a wrong number nice and early in the morning on my day off!

If I'm in a fun mood, and get a wrong number caller, i just tell them the person they are looking for IS there, but doesn't want to speak to them anymore.

Or....tell them they are out....but you would be glad to give them a message when they get home.

 

[The Dude]

I get the same people calling my house at 11:30 at night a good 2-3 times a month. No matter how many times I tell them it's the wrong number.

Tell them they have the right number....but they can't come to the phone right now because of the ropes.

 

[Deep Thinkin'!]

Me: Hello?
Woman: Hello ma'am. We've got your partner's test results back.
Me: My partner's?
Yes: We have troubling news, it would be best for us to see the both of you in person.
Me: Who is this?
Woman: [some doctor's office]
Me: What test results?
Woman: Your partner's test.
Me: Test?
Woman: Yes, a test.
Me: Uhm, like cancer or... a what?
Woman: Uhm, ma'am, it would just be appropriate for us to schedule a time for you both to see Doctor [name]
Me: Uh, I'm pretty sure you got the wrong number....

*I hang up *

When my mom first got her cell number it was evidently the old number of someone named Yolanda. She got at least 5 calls a day asking for Yolanda, some even becoming down right threatening claiming that my mom had stolen her phone. It was sad.

When I first got the house I'm living in, the phone number the telephone company gave me apparently had belonged to some people who had bailed on a whole lot of creditors. Almost immediately I started getting phone calls for these people and it was always the same folks who would call me, which meant their cases were high up in skip tracing in the collections agencies since those cases always get assigned to and owned by one person instead of being mixed into an automated phone queue (I used to work as a skip tracer in collections, so I know how this works.) Anyway, I started out by politely telling these people that they had the wrong number and that I didn't know they people they were looking for. And they kept calling anyway. Often enough that I would recognize their voices and start calling them by their NAME and asking them how things at Company X were going. No matter how many times I would tell these people that I didn't know the debt-jumpers they were looking for, they kept calling. So I started playing games with them. "No, they're not here. They moved to the Cayman Islands about five months ago. I don't have a forwarding address or phone number". "If you find them, tell them to come pick up all of their stuff. I'm tired of keeping it in storage." (That one was fun because the skip tracers always wanted to know what kind of stuff I had that belonged to these people and how much it was worth. Hehe!) But the one that finally got these people to stop calling (after several years worth of phone calls, mind you) was "They died in a crash in a small plane about three weeks ago and I really don't appreciate your phone call. If this is supposed to be funny, it's not. What is your name, employee number, your supervisor's name and the number for your corporate headquarters?"

[Addendum]

I got this phone call about 7 years ago when I was in college. It was a Saturday, around 10 in the morning:

Me: groggy from sleep "'ello?"
Lady on phone: "who is this?"
Me: "David"
Lady on phone: "why didn't you call me back?"
Me: "call who back"
Lady on phone: "nice to know that you don't give a damn about your family"
Me: "the **** you talkin about?"

I called home to see if anyone tried to call, and to check with grandma to see if any of my cousins wanted me to call them. None did.
