I regularly get late night calls for a taxi company down in Bedford. One night/morning a hooray henry type called and was particularly obnoxious, told him the taxi would be 15 mins. 20 mins later he rang back, I apologised, went offline and said he would be 5 mins. 10 mins later the phone went again and this guy gave me a right mouthfull.
I then told him he had a private residence in Lancashire and who the hell did he think he was. I waited a couple of hours and disturbed his sleep |

"It depends who it is there are some old people who get very confused so try and explain they have the wrong number."
They are not breathing heavily because they are old!  |

"I have answered an unknown number with:
"Hi, this is Malcolm's Morgue, you stab 'em, we'll slab 'em, 24 hour stiff service!"
They usually hang up.  "
Or
"Welcome to Woking Crematorium; you kill 'em we grill 'em!"
Same effect! |

My work number is sometimes mistaken for a budget household store. I am always polite and tell people that it is not a problem and give them the correct number (one digit difference). HOWEVER...... I am FS and tired of rude, ignorant people who are agreesive in their manner, with no 'hello' or apology etc that I am thinking that next time I will pretend to be the store, ask them what they want, tell them the items they want are reduced by 90% and that there are only two of them left. - Shall I ?? |

Ive had two answer phone messages in the last 6 weeks from two different companies about a furniture order and when they where going to deliver it. I never contacted either to say they had the wrong number. Im guessing it was the same person they both wanted and for some bizarre reason the person had twice given out my number instead of theres.
Funniest ever was years ago when i didnt have a phone, used a phone box to ring my dad, he answered i spoke he said who is it i said karen, oh hello i wasnt expecting you to ring bla de bla, went on for about 5 minitues and neither knew what the other was talking about, turned out id misdialed his number and the guy who answered also had a daughter called karen |
