Does anyone else have someone who constantly calls thier phone, thinking it's someone else?
I, for instance, have some guy who leaves messages on my cell phone, and he thinks I'm sleeping with his wife. He claims that someone from this number called for his wife. I imagine if I ever actually pick it up while he calls it'll be pretty awkward.
That happens to me on occasion. Sometimes people call and right when I pick up they're like, "oh sorry, wrong number". Seriously folks, watch what you dial.
My number at home is somewhat the same as a trucking service in town so we get people phoning that all the time.
At residence, a load of our numbers look the same so it's not uncommon to get phonecalls for people who live next door...but if that happens I usualy take my phone and give it to them anyways.
Some old people keep calling and asking for somebody named "Norma"
at least twice a week someone calls my house asking for Speedy's Pizza and Dawn of Essence Hair Salon.:mog:
I get people with heavy Indian or Mexican accents that call here occassionally.
Our first 3 digits in our area are 292 and 294, and my grandparents constantly get calls asking for Long John Silver's, which begins with 294, but they're 292. We don't get anything, really, though.
Our phone lines used to be crossed with someone else's, so when someone called our house the phone would ring at their house too, or vice-versa. We had a lot of weird three-way conversations that way until it got fixed.
I unplugged my phone, so if we get wrong numbers I don't know about it.
Our old number used to be the same number as the local single's service. The lady who ran it never bothered to change the number on all of their ads, so we got a lot of people calling asking about parties and whatnot. One time this French guy called and asked my mum or sister (can't remember which) "Hey, Laurel, are we getting it on tonight?" *@_@*
It got pretty annoying after a while, because we couldn't track the woman down to ask her to change the number. Oh, well. =X
Okay:
There is two area codes near where I used to live: 905 and 416 ("416 to the 905" -- Maestro). A while ago they didn't institute a "use the area code for everything" rule, so people who were from the 416 area code kept calling my dad's company (ie: his cell) thinking it was the 905 number. Now seriously, how dumb do you ahve to be? It's a different area code altogether, but same phone#. Sheesh.
I'm in 905 still :D
This guy named Eugene once called our house and left a message on the machine trying to get in contact with a woman named Carol. I think she gave him the wrong phone number on purpose, and I feel kinda bad for him. My dad is evil, so he saved the message and plays it whenever he feels like laughing at somebody. xD Poor Eugene.
When I was living in France, this guy kept ringing my mobile and leaving voice messages asking for 'Olivier'.
My phone number is close to the one of an old lady so I always get calls from her grand kids or when my frinds misdial, she picks up, its kinda weird. My mom's number is one digit off for the Sears Fax number in Quebec City and she always gets that modem sound in the phone when she picks up xD
I'm a 905 number...you're refering to the T-Dot and M-Dot yes?Quote:

At my old house we used to get phone calls for Pep Boys all the time. It was annoying.
Torontonians eh...I'm still in the 519.Quote:

i've never had people call asking for companies. alot of indian people tend to call this number. people that are on my dad's business list, whom he forgot to tell this wasn't his number anymore, keep calling.
"hi is (dad) there?"
"no. this isn't his number anymore"
"oh. ok, i'll call back later *click*"
*slaps forehead*
This happens to me aswell. A few months back, there was this guy, who kept asking for someone named Jason, I must have told him there was no Jason here about 10 times.Quote:

The old phone from my room was moved to the room next door; the old extension number is still printed on that phone. Consequently, when the new occupant moved in next door, she assumed that the number was hers, when in fact it was not. She posted that number to her friends and family, so I'm expecting a whole swag of wrong numbers in a few days. Ah well, she'll be able to put them right.
Some lady calls me asking for Myra, and a few years ago we used to get dozens of phone calls for Claudia, usually in the middle of the night. Haet wrong numbers D:
519? My phone number's 519 now. Who are you surfacing, and why are you stalking the P man?
I get calls from people asking for taxis, apparantly ours is similar. I've got drunk guys at 3am, a drunk/horny girl at 11pm (which was fun to talk to) and many more like that. sometimes, it's easier to lie to them, and talk to them then reveal the truth after about 5 minutes. Inflict misery on them xD
A friend of mine keeps getting phonecalls from people asking for the sales rep at Wal Mart. How hard is it to mistake 2443 with 6553?
An old friend had a number 922....I dialed 911 far too often.
not funny ;_;
my area code is 519. i've had it for 19 yearsQuote:
