    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.
    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.

    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:

    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?
