What is the stupidest wrong number call you have ever got?

[episodic]

I got a phone call a minute ago (no crap). . .went like this. . .


"Um, is Jackie there?"

Me: - "No, sorry - no Jackie here. . . "

"Um, Barry is that you?"

Me: "No sorry dude, you got the wrong number". . .

"Where are you located?"

Me: "On the other end of the phone. . ."

Strange man calling me breaks out in laughter. . .

"I like you", he says. . .

"Later Barry. . . "


(note my name is not Barry - and I told him that once during the 'conversation')

Real weird crap. . .

So what is the weirdest wrong number call you have recieved?

well one day me and my wife came home to find a message on the machine. It was some guy who was cursing and saying how he was going to kick my a$$ if i didnt give him his dope etc. it ended with him saying he would be right over. Then the next message was the same guy saying "man i'm sorry. i had the wrong number"

bwhahha my wife was all worried at first. but after that we both laughed about it.

Mine's not really stupid, but kinda sad...

Back when I worked DSL support for Qwest I got a call from an obviously very elderly woman who was looking for her sister. Apparently she hadn't been able to get ahold of her for some time (via phone) and wanted someone to check & see if the line was in use. Both she and her sister were unable to drive, so she couldn't go check on her.

Best I could do was tell her to call the police, she seemed rather confused by that.

I was on a conference bridge, internal and not advertised publically, and some young man for AT&T calls into the bridge trying to see long distance phone service. We politely tell him we work for the phone company and he makes another attempt until someone interrupts him to stop and listen to what he is doing: trying to sell AT&T LD to his compeition on a private conference bridge. He finally apologized and left. I guess we were a hard sell for him.

one time this woman called early in the morning and just started talking. I said hello and she just took off. I wasn't very awake yet.. so I just listened, figuring eventually she'd say something that'd help me figure out who the hell she was. so she kept on goin' and I uh-huh'd a time or two and finally I gave up, so I said.. scuze me.. who is this? and she was offended. so I told her I really had no idea who she was and was pretty sure she must have the wrong number. and she turned insane. started yellin' at me, who was I and what was I doing answering whoever she thought she was calling's phone, and there just was no reasoning with her, it was my house, and my phone number, and had been for like 4 or 5 years at that point but she didn't believe me so eventually I told her I hoped she found her friend soon and hung up and went on about my business.. or attempted to.. couple minutes later the phone rings again and it's the phone company wanting to know who I am and why I'm answering my phone.. excuse me?.. aren't you the phone company? you called me.. you got records! you can figure out who I am. why not.. instead of bothering ME.. look up the gal this nutcase is tryin' to call and give her the right number. that got the guy stuttering.

it really was one of the most surreal mornings of my life thus far.

Sounds typical of my life, you are not my twin that is out there somewhere are you?

 

[n0cmonkey]

Not a wrong number, but I didn't get to the phone in time. I didn't recognize the number, so I called it back (the area code was 702, I live in 703, so I didn't notice the difference at the time). The answer on the other end: "FBI, can you hold?"

Definitely an oh "crap moment." Thought it was a friend playing a joke on me until they took me off hold.

I got a call from some guy who thought I screwing around with his woman. It turned out my father tried to call me and mis-dialed and left a message. Then I end up getting a very strange call from this guy. I told him to fvsck off.

 

[JSmile]

i got a new cell phone and some guy starts screaming about how, "I," was late on my payments, and how he was going to kill me, and he wanted the money. He ends the message with, 'Give me the fvckin money or I'll kill you in 48 hrs. Fvck YOU!." He called back the next day and I told him I got a new cell phone and I heard his message. Reaction=classic.

Some chick called me and asked for some guy, sorry wrong number, hung up, on to whatever i was doing...

She calls back like 30 seconds later and tells me I have sexy voice(which I hear all the time on the phone), and asks me to describe myself. she epxlains she was trying to reach the guy she met in the bar and hook up for a booty call, I told her sorry, that sucks, call someone else, she said she had no other booty calls, then asked me to comeover. So being bored, I did, then hooked up with her (ok looking), her friend(a little better), and her friends little sister (smokin hot) at the same time. They were very drunk, and practically pounced me as soon as i walked in the door, I left almost imediately after we finished, and never talked to any of them again, it was my first time with more than one girl at a time, I felt a little weird afterwords, as in I didnt know what to think, never even told my friends (doubt theyd have believed me) then I just kinda forgot about it until now.

Not a wrong number.. but a telemarketer...about 4 years ago

My last name is Schramm [Sh-Ram] Not too hard to pronounce.

Tele Marketer- "Hello Is Mr Scratum There Please"

My Dad - "I beleive it's pronounced scrotvm" "Click"

 

[ShotgunSteven]

Our phone number is the same as a local auto parts store, except with two numbers reversed. We get calls for them all the time. Once had the same person call back three times in three minutes. Redial isn't going to get you the right number when it was wrong the first time, morons!

 

[Kalvin00]

Not stupidest, but strangest.

Other night, pick up the phone. 'OH MY GOD, COME PICK ME UP, SOME GUY IS CHASING ME! COME GET ME...

Ok, who are you try to call? I think you have the wrong number.

THIS IS ASHLEY...COME GET ME! PLEASE, THIS GUY IS CHASING ME!

Sorry, wrong number.

 

[amdskip]

I had a lady call my cell and accuse me of stealing some guy's phone, pretty funny stuff.

 

[CrackRabbit]

I've gotten several collect calls at work from the Walker county jail, needless to say I didnt accept them.

 

[Bumrush99]

The best wrong number call I ever got was at around 2am. I was sleeping and the phone rings. Guy on the line asks for yuca, I say yuca who several times and he keeps repeating yuca. I was still half asleep and kept asking "yuca who" and after 20 seconds of going back and forth he says "yuca n suck this d*ck"..
needless to say it was a crank call, it had me laughing for a few minutes. Of course this scene was repeated between many friends

In college my dorm room had the number 523-2625...everybody on campus had the same first 3 digits 523....well me and roomate always get calls from drunk girls at 1/2am saying something like "Is this the penis room?" and then hung up, and not always the same girls just seemed like random for the longest time.
So wonered why for a while and then realized what does 2625 spell out? what else but C-O-C-K....so roomate started having fun with it since he was the only one usually up at that hour, saying stuff like "Room of the largest cock's on campus" or whatever. Girls only ended up coming over once, but thats another story

When I worked at Earthlink, I got a call from an elderly who wanted to cancel his service. I looked up his information but there was no one by his name. Later he says,

"This is AOL right?"

Ah ur story reminds me of last year. Same deal with phone numbers, they all start with 225. So anyways, apparently my number was really similar to the tech support at our school. So one day I get a call about some guy having problems with his computer. I had no idea who he was, but trying to be helpful, I gave him a few suggestions. Then another call came...this one software related. I figured it was a wrong number. Guy who called first calls back again saying his computer still doesn't work. Anyways this continues on and eventually I told the guy that I was not in fact tech support and he should try calling the real number from now on.

 

[Emveach]

My number when I was yonger was reversed of the local Pamida store (think smaller Wal-Mart type store). Well, during summer vacation, we would be home to get all the wrong numbers almost daily. My brother and I came up with the idea that when they asked for a department, I would pretend to transfer them, and he would then let the swear words fly about how he didn't give a sh-, about what they wanted and what they could do with that if they ever find it, and so forth.

So much fun.
