Just got a random call

So I'm sitting here at my desk plugging away at my boss's wi... err... the latest project, and my cell phone rings.

Me: "Hello"
Cletus: "Who's this?"

Okay, this is a huge pet peeve of mine. I HATE it when people call me and ask who the hell they're talking to.

Me: "You called me. Who is this."

No "?" at the end because I wasn't *really* asking, but rather saying "tell me who the hell".

Cletus: "Where y'all from?"
Me: "Who the hell are you."
Cletus: "Your number came up on my caller ID"
Me: "No it didn't. I haven't placed a call on this phone in almost a week."
Cletus: "So where y'all from?"
Me: "Look, Willie... you're bothering me at work. If you're lonely, call a sex line."

*click*

Surprised he didn't call back. Co-workers got a kick out of it though. Reverse phone look-up didn't return any results, but the area code is Alabama.
 
Interesting you're complaining about "Cletus" from Alabama, yet you reside in North Carolina, a state full of Cletuses. People with that accent are not always ignoramuses and/or red necks, etc.

But if that call went the way it did, you're probably right about him.

I don't assume a person who talks ebonics is a rap artist or a great basketball player.
 
My favorite wrong number call:

Me: "Hello?"
Hick: "Is Booger there?"
Me: ....
Me: "Nope, no Boogers here. Bye."

All people from Alabama are hicks. Everyone knows that.

Oh, and I'm not from NC. Shocking, but not everyone is 100% truthful in their Intarweb profiles 😉 .

I'm from Alabama. I'm not a hick. Your theory has just been proven wrong. Good day to you sir.

It's tempting... but then I doubt Cletus would hesitate giving away "that dang Yank who wouldn't talk to me"'s phone number 😉 .

Well shucks. And to think I almost had a scientific law on my hands!

is his name Cletus or Willie? which is it?

I refer to him as Cletus now because it's funnier than Willie, but in the actual conversation, I called him Willie. Had I thought of Cletus at the time, I would have used that instead. Unfortunately, I was under the gun.
 
Up to this day my favorite wrong number call.


Me: Hello.
Him: Is this district attourney's office?
Me: No, you got the wrong number.
Him: Is this xxx-xxxx (repeats my phone number)
Me: Yes, but this isn't DA's office.
Him: So do you know what DA's phone number is?
Me: ?!?!?!?!?
