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

[Modeps]

Me "Hello?"
Stranger "Hey, it sure took you long enough to answer the phone in such a small house."
Me "Uhh, who is this?"
Stranger "Mr. Phelps!"
Me "Oh, I see. Who are you looking for?"
Phelps "Who?"
Me "Seriously, who is this?"
Phelps "Who is this!? Who do you think it is."
Me "Uhhh...."
Phelps "Ha Ha!"
Me "I think you've got the wrong number."
Phelps "Oh really?"
Me "Yes."
Phelps "I dont think so, stop pretending!"
Me "I'm gonna hang up now. Bye."

That guy freaked me out.

when I first switched my cell to verizon, I got constant wrong number calls.. apparantly there was some hispanic man somewhere far away, who moved without paying a lot of his bills, and the phone company wherever he moved from (new jersey? new york.. one of those) was offering my number as the "the number has been changed. the new number is..." message.

so.. for weeks and weeks I kept getting all these phone calls from people looking for this man, and since they were looking for this man who owed them money and was hard to find, they weren't very easy to convince that I was not this man (nothing against hispanic men in general, but I'm a non-hispanic female so it really shouldn't have been that difficult!), was not related to this man, did not know this man.. please leave me alone! and since it was my cell they were getting referred to, they were harrassing me all over creation.. one guy asked me.. you're not in new york? and I'm like.. no.. I'm in a mini van at a soccer field in south carolina.. heck.. look at the area code! sheesh! I called verizon, they were very sympathetic but couldn't do anything about it (fortunately, at that time I had free incoming calls so at least I wasn't paying by the minute to be harrassed), I called bell south, they couldn't do anything about it.. I was always so flustered I never did think to ask any of these people where this guy had moved FROM, I might could have called the phone company there and got it fixed.. eventually one of the gals that kept calling came to understand what was going on and said SHE knew how to fix it.. and apparantly did, because the calls stopped coming.

anno (got enough wrong number stories to keep goin' all day)

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.

I call BS.

 

[ElFenix]

me, at 3 am: umm hello
man trying to sound like a woman: is todd there?
me: no, you must have a wrong number
him: well, would you like a blow job?
me: uhhh no!

 

Two days ago a chick called asking for someone else (wrong number) i played along like im the guy. Turns out she was trying to score some pot, i told her to come over and id have it ready. She didnt call back, but im sure the drug dealer was like WTF you coming to my house unannounced?

My number is VERY close to the number teachers are supposed to call to get a sub or find out if they've been requested to sub. I get calls at least once a week usually between midnight and 6am. Very rarely do they talk, because they know its an automated system. A couple of times, however, I've gotten new teachers or subs and had a little fun with them. I've told them to report to whatever school I feel like naming, and what room number they will be in. I bet I could make a ton selling teacher's phone numbers from my caller ID box.

 

[Ilmater]

I woke up one morning with a message on my phone. Mind you, my voicemail CLEARLY states my name. The message was from what sounded like a couple in Australia (I'm in US) that was taking care of someone's son (whom they thought they were calling) who would be leaving soon to return to America. I'm completely dumbfounded as to how they listened to my greeting and just ignored it.

 

[dullard]

That is odd. While reading this thread someone called. I said "Hello". There was a 10 second pause and I hear a guy say "Ahhhh I've got the wrong number". I just hung up. Just thought it was a coincidence.

I get wrong number calls here all of the time. My number at work ends with YYYZ while the ticket office (university) has the same first 3 digits but ends in ZZZY. Occasionally I tell people what number they were trying to call, and they are always shocked that I guessed right. But I guess it is a simple mistake to make.

 

[hevnsnt]

I got a good one..

I was sitting on the toilet one day and the phone rings. I will transcribe the conversation as it was told to me, and then mine. Just FYI my name is Bill.

My Wife: Hello
Lady: Um........., Is Bill There?
My Wife: Yeah, but he can't come to the phone right now.
Lady: What the FVCK do you mean!? Put his ASS on the fvcking phone RIGHT fvcking NOW!
My Wife: Um ok hold on.

KNOCK KNOCK on the bathroom door

Me: What?
My Wife: Some lady needs to talk to you RIGHT NOW.
Me: sigh, ok.

Me: Hello?
Lady: WHO THE FVCK IS THAT, YOU SON OF A BITCH?
Me: Uh, My wife, who the fvck is this?
Lady: (calming down) This is ?Sarah? (I cant remember) Is this Bill (some other last name)
Me: No, this is Bill (my last name) hahaha
Lady: Oh my god, I thought my husband was cheating on me
Me & Lady: hahaha

Man that was awesome!

I get alot of calls at work thinking I'm a Michigan unemployment office. I talked to a guy I work with from Michigan and he said that the 313 area code is a pretty rough area in Detroit. My upstate NY area code is 315.

My parents have always had the same phone number (since as long as I can remember anyway), and we used to get a lot of prank calls on it in the days before CallerID. It ended in 3825, which if you check your phone, spells "F * CK". so, you can imagine how many calls we got that went something like this.

<ring>
"hello"
"did you know your phone number spells ***-F*CK?, he he <giggle>"
<click>

It happened a lot, and was usually very young kids just learning dirty words.

Anyway, one time I got the usual call, but the laugh and gigling at the end was very distinctive. I knew who it was. It was a kid I knew from church and school. I said "Stephen <last name removed> I know this is you, and I'm going to tell your mom what you said!" He stammered "How did you know it was me?!?!" Funny stuff, at the time. I never told his mom, but I told him at church it was me on the phone that day.

Sometimes I would tell them they had the wrong number, and that they must have dialed ***-DUCK by accident. Usually there was a pause while they checked the number before realizing it was the D &amp; F were on the same key.

Not really a wrong number call but funny none the less,
I once got a call from a telemarketer while I was playing UT2k3 with my Logitech Z-640s cranked all the way up.
Telemarketer: "Hello, my name is Sally and I'm call on behalf of your Chase Credit Card..."
All of the sudden, right out of the speakers came "DIE B!T(H" (Apparently, someone just got killed and the taunt followed)
Telemarketer:" OH... I'm sorry"

It took me a while to understand what happend after I put down the phone but it hit me and I almost died laughing.

 

[DrPizza]

I don't get too many wrong numbers, but my neighbors phone was 1 digit different from Dominos... Most of our city is 373-xxxx or 372-xxxx. Dominos was one, his was the other. He received so many wrong calls that he amused himself by keeping a menu next to the phone. "Hello" 'is this dominos?" "uh, yes. What can I get for you?" ..."okay, last name? Address? Phone number? 30 minutes. uh, the total is ...(something approximate)"

Also, shens on the 4-some wrong number booty call... "I just kinda forgot until now" LMAO, no male alive would ever forget something like that.... you'd think about it every day.

I should have social-engineered her cell company, got her address, and then hired someone to kill her. That would have make me feel better because the bitch woke me up.

Imagine getting off the can to answer the phone and having it be the FBI that called.

Or you could be at work like me and not believe a co-worker that the FBI is on the line(I posted about how they wanted to talk to some of our foreign workers for taking pictures in antoehr thread). So I hit speakerphone and said "What the fvck do you want." The guy on the other end was none so amused and said he was the Sheriff's liason with the FBI, and that he needed to talk to HR. I was like whoops...

Where I work, it wouldn't surprise me if the FBI called.

My brother-in-law routinely gets visits from the FBI and the Secret Service and even deals with MI5 over the phone from time to time. (He runs a shipping company and scammers frequently try to use his service. He also has a lot of middle eastern clients)

One afternoon I got a call from an angry lady.

kranky: Hello?
Lady: Is this Ted McWilliams Ford?
kranky: No, you have the wrong number.
Lady: Sorry. <click>

....a minute later.... ring...ring...
kranky: Hello?
Lady: Is this Ted McWilliams Ford?
kranky: No, you still have the wrong -
Lady: <click>

......a minute later....ring...ring...
kranky: Hello?
Lady: Is this Ted McWilliams Ford?
kranky: No, you still...
Lady: DON'T GIVE ME THAT sh!t! I checked the number three times!
kranky: Sorry-
Lady: This is Julia Anderson, like you don't already know! What the HELL are you doing about my car? When is it going to be ready? You jerks keep-
kranky: <click>

....a minute later....ring....ring.....
kranky: Lady, this isn't-
Lady: I'm not putting up with ANY MORE OF YOUR sh!t! You've had my car for FIVE DAYS and it was supposed to be fixed TWO DAMN DAYS AGO! I need my DAMN CAR BACK!
kranky: Lady, this isn't-
Lady: LISTEN, buddy, I'm coming down there at FOUR O'CLOCK and MY CAR BETTER BE READY! If it's not done I'm going to CALL THE COPS!
kranky: Ma'am, I'm very sorry about the delay. Please come down at four o'clock and I give you my personal guarantee your car will be ready. And your repairs will be on the house. No charge. Just ask to see Mr. Burns and he'll have everything arranged.
Lady: Now THAT'S more like it. Why do you ALWAYS put me through this sh!t? I'm so SICK of you people. <click>

The weird part was that I looked up the number for Ted McWilliams Ford, and it was nothing at all like mine. I only wish I could have been there to witness that lady trying to get her car repairs for free.

LMFAO....would have been awesome to be there with a small camcorder or taperecorder when she asked for Mr. Burns. //Excellent

Back in college, I was trying to sleep on a weeknight, with 8AM class in the morning, when some drunk calls me up.

I wish I could paraphrase the transcript, but he didn't even ask for the name of anyone, and assumed I was some guy he knew. Supposedly, he heard that this guy said or did something bad to/about his g/f at the bar/party. (Sorry, I was very groggy). H e was drunk and angry, I told him he had the wrong number then he was like, "no, dude, seriously, don't be messing around," This repeated several times with me just saying he had the wrong number until he finally hung up.

I had roughly the same thing- I have a sound file of "Mail, Motherfvcker!" from that recent movie (I forget the name), and it plays when I get new mail. So I'm on the phone with some random company, and I forget that I have my speakers on, and up pretty high.

Chatting to the lady about something, and I get new mail. The sound plays. There's a long protracted silence from her end, and then I mutter something about "let me just turn that down...". She continues, but sounding entirely rattled

 

[Steve]

Let's see, I've got a few....I just recently got a cell number and it looks like a business number, it ends in 1100. Yesterday I got a wrong number from someone looking for a model airplane shop. Right number, wrong area code.

My home number is one digit off from the local AT&amp;T Wireless shop (0676 vs 0646) so we get a few of those.

Over a year ago I had an apartment off-campus while in school, and one early morning around 5:30am my phone rang. I knew it was a wrong number since I only gave my number out to a few people. So I let it ring and go to voice mail, figuring the caller would hear my name and voice and figure it out.

Nope, she called again, so I answered

Caller: "Is <name> there?"
Me: "Um, no."
Caller: "Wha...?"
Me: "You have the wrong number."
Caller: "Oh, sorry, I was jus..."
<click>

Then she called again, and left a voice mail: "Sorry I got the wrong numba."

But I think my best story is a case of right number, wrong person. I'm often told my dad, my brother, and I sound alike on the phone. I answered a call one morning a few years back:

Me: "Hello?"
He: "Hey man, did you get it?"
Me: "Wha....?"
He: "Did you get the stuff last night?"
Me: "Uhhh...."
He: "Man, did you get the sh!t yet? Wake up you b!tch!"
Me: "Oh, I think you want my brother...."
He: "Oh! Is this <me>?"
Me: "Yeah."
He: "I'm sorry, man. Is your brother up yet?"

 

[Mathlete]

Not my house but a friends. His number is 242-7272 (242-papa), so he gets calls all the time for Papa John's. I was watching his house when he was on his honeymoon and I took orders for 10-12 pizzas that week. Bet there were some hungry stoners out there at like 1 am

"Damn dude, where is the pizza? I ordered it like 2 hrs ago!"

 

[SearchMaster]

My number is the same as a wireless provider except for the area code...

One time, I get a call from a female:
Me: "Hello?"
Her: "Yeah, let me talk to John."
Me: "No."
Her: "Who is this?"
Me: "Who the fvck are you, you rude b!tch!" (I didn't appreciate her original tone)
Her: "This is Susie from the downtown branch. Let me speak with your manager right now!"
Me: "I am the district manager, and your ass is fired! Let me speak with YOUR manager, right now!"
Her: "This is the wrong number, isn't it?"
Me: "No sh!t, sherlock." <hang up>

Back when I had dial-up and a 2nd phone line, our 2nd number was Blockbuster Video's old number. You can only imagine the fun I had.
