    Well my home phone number is the same as the local CVS, with only 1 number being different. (my number has an 8, theirs a 0) so I get calls for them occasionally. Best one was the person calling to say that the condoms I sold him here broken and how he is going to have to care for a baby. I was bored and asked if he remembered to check for holes first. He then dropped the phone.

    I yell "you're not getting my baby!" and then I let out a piercing scream trying to shatter their kitchen windows so hopefully one of the shards lodges into their throat.

    It was easy to explain my way out of that one though

    And I normally politely say they have the wrong number and then hang up.

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.

    I know over 9000 asian languages, so I am able to confuse anybody who deserves it.

    Other times I just feign interest and then hang up suddenly, or pretend I died and then disconnect the call.

    Sometimes I tell the person calling that I will go retrieve the person they asked for, and just leave the phone off the hook until they hang up. I do this with telemarketers too.

    One time I called the automated bus-check number for the bus routes in my city and dialed a real person. Drunkenly slurring "you're not bus check!" is usually not how I start phone conversations, but ...

    If I'm feeling humorous, which I always am, I say, "Nope, sorry, I'm not here right now." in some odd foreign accent. Otherwise I just say, "Sorry, ya got the wrong number." and hang up. :/

    XD

    me: hello?
    person: Sarah? (or other weird name)
    me: no...
    person: who is this?
    me: Kari...
    person: oh, I probably have the wrong number, don't I?
    me: Kinda. *hangs up*

    I'm not much of a phone person tbh =\ I hate answering the phone.

    If they ask for John, I say "John's dead..."

    Same goes if they ask for someone who doesn't live in my house.
