canadian dude working of AmEX called me a couple years ago. kept calling me ma'am and then apologizing saying that he was really tired from the night before. said he had a looooong night with the girlfriend and then would chuckle to me knowingly. he also kept asking "you guys like to come up here and spend your money, eh?"
not very exciting, i know. but it sticks out as being pretty funny for me.

currently, iget a lot of calls for some woman i dont know. which is strange becuase ive had this number for about 8 years.

I used to get phone calls from the local unitarian church about when the next meeting was. The strangest was the one where they gave me a list of costume limits for the upcoming halloween party.

Ok, this was me dialing the wrong number, but it was still fun.

My friend gave me his cell number one day and called him one night to see where he was.
I dialed the number exactly as he wrote it (I swear) and a girl picked up. My friend, Matt, didn't usually sound that feminine but he was at a party so I just thought someone else had picked up his phone as a joke.

Me: ...uh.... Hi, is Matt around?
Girl: Is who around?
Me: Matt.
Girl: Mike?
Me: MATT
Girl: Mike's not here.
Me: oh... sorry bout that <click>

Couple seconds later.. my phone rings. It's the same girl on the other end.

Me:Hello?
Girl: Who is this?
Me:.... Jon
Girl: How'd you get this number Jon? (pissed)
Me: ... well, I was trying to call my friend... Matt, which is why I was asking for him. Guess I got the number wrong. Sorry again. <click>

Still have no idea what happened... cause I rechecked the # with my friend and it was exactly what I dialed... wierd, but kinda funny.

Funny you should post this today. Dinner time and the phone rings, I pick it up and it's a collect call from the Fulton county jail. There's a computerized voice that says "this is a collect call from...." then I hear some guy say, "I just got pulled over", then the computerized voice continues, "the Fulton county jail. Press 3 to accept the charges."

I hung it up after that, but some poor sap used his one call from jail and dialed a wrong number! :D

Picked up phone.

Me: Hello
Girl: Hello this is Jennifer. My husband and I saw your ad. ( At the time I was running a couple of employment ads)
Me: Which ad are you calling about.? I have several.
Girl: Oh my! I'm calling about the one in the Columbia swinger magazine for a mature fit couple that likes to party.
Me: Are you sure you have the right number?
Girl: Yes this is 777-777-7777 right?
Me: Yes it is.
Me: Hold on a second <mutes phone> TAMMY (wife), DID YOU PUT US IN A FVCKING SWINGER MAGAZINE?
Tammy: NO.
Me: Well this chick says we are in one:
Me <un-mutes phone> You said this is a couple looking for couple:
Girl: Yes
Me: Well then I'm not interested but I would like to know which magazine I'm in.
Girl: Its blah blah blah in Columbia and its on page 77.
Me: Thanks a lot. Bye.

My wife and I laughed about it. The next day I told the owner of the company/ my boss since it was a company phone. He just played it off and said it must be a misprint in the magazine. That weekend I went to pick up some acid stain in Columbia for a job the next week. Happen to see one of these magazines so I purchased it. To my surprise on page 77 was my boss and his wife naked performing sex acts. I about pissed myself.
Turns out they had listed it about a month before I was hired. When I got there the boss gave me his phone and upgraded to a newer model. He removed all the phone book entries but I guess he forgot he gave that number for the ad.

Funny thing that you should ask a question like this because JUST NOW some real estate agent called (from my area) and left a message on my answering machine asking if I would like to sell my house because there is a couple in the area who wants to buy it.

No I didn't black mail him. Money was good already. He was really nice to me after that which was a welcome change from him getting super upset about deadlines and payroll.

First weird phone call on answering machine:(In a heavy Hispanic accent) Hello, this is Rose and I got the ya-yas for Monday.Click.End of message.

Second message : Hello Ms. Smith? This is Manhole Gynecology with your results. Stupid ass goes on about some Gyno results that, I'm sure, were pretty important to the woman they were intended for. I called back and let them know that they had the wrong number and they sheepishly said they were sorry.

I've also gotten a call from a grade school about some little kid who was sick and I had to call that one back too.

Fuggin idjits.



Peace
