I Hate Effing Wrong Numbers!!!

Minor rant - But I hate people with no common courtesy. (and on my cell phone no less, eating minutes)

"Ring"!!!
ME: Drop everything, "Hello?"

HER: "Dad?"

ME: "No, you must have a wrong number"

Her: "Click"

Now I realize her way saves a milli-second of time for both parties, but would a "sorry" be too much to ask?
Worst part is the wife'll probably see the phone bill and ask what the weird number is, or worse, call it and hear a cute female voice!!!
Rant Over
 
It was probably a little girl who was really embarassed to realize she'd dialed wrong. Calm the fvck down.
 
sh!t happens. Do you have caller ID? If you do then why on Earth would you pick up if you don't recognize the phone number. I just let it go to my voice mail and by that time the caller realizes they have the wrong number.
 
what I hate is when you make a wrong number call and realize before anyone picks up, then they call you back and get all pissy demanding to know who you are.
 
Don't get me started on my wife! I usually answer calls from the local area codes as sometimes my wife/son use friend's phones that I don't recognize.

Deeko - I wasn't going ballistic, just annoyed at the lack of courtesy. She was definitely "of age" to know better, probably 20-ish based on the voice.

Then I hate people when they dialed wrong and start quizzing YOU about what number it is! I always ask "what number did you dial"? I'm not giving out my number to every dimwit.
 
"Debbie? No, Debbie can't come to the phone right now. She's got my dick in her mouth."


"Heh...I love wrong numbers..."

Me too. My phone number is 1 digit off of the local school distict's automated substitute line. I get calls all the time at like 4-5am on weekdays.
 
how about this -

her - is maria there
me - no. i think you have the wrong number
her - what is your name
me - michael
her - what are you doing answering marias phone?
me - you have the wrong number
her - oh *click*


 
Actually the phone's not a priority, I just have a REALLY annoying ring on my cell, so I have to answer it to shut it up (and I'm too lazy to change it. actually I just like pissing off my lunch buddies with it)
 
Anonymous girl called me before, said "I'm trying to get in contact with Jared, was he using your phone?" I said "Nope. No Jared here, must be a wrong number." She replied, "Oh, sorry. Bye." *click*

Since I've received calls from that number before, I'm guessing it might have to do with a job or something. Especially because the tone of her voice.
 
I don't get the caller id arguement.
I mean if you're going to go through the effort of getting the phone to read it, you may as well answer the damn thing so you don't have to listen to it ringing, then check the answering machine.
