I've never gotten weird messages, but I did get a wrong number call one day that seemed to think if they dialed my number enough the person they were trying to reach would answer.

OMFG!!! YES!

My number is kind of similar to Acme's pharmacy, so this one woman calls, and I tell her she has the wrong number. Ok, so the phone rings like 10 seconds later, I say "Hello" and she says sorry and hangs up. And in another 10 seconds I get a call, same woman. She must have called about 5 or 6 times.

One of my friends at school phoned one of his friends from his cell phone. His cell's address book doesn't allow for multiple phone numbers under one entry for a name, so he just puts the name twice if he has two numbers for the person and tries to remember which is the person's cell number and his home number etc. So he dials what he thinks is his friend's cell, gets the voicemail, and decides to have some fun by listing off profanity for about 5 minutes. 15 minutes later he gets a call from the cops asking him if he'd phoned the Johnson family. Yep, he dialed his friend's house and his mom got the message :)
