31.5.03

now, i know everyone gets a few wrong number and solicitation phone calls every once in a while, but i swear to goodness that this house gets more wrong numbers than anyone. we even get salespeople calling for people who don't live here (and haven't lived here in the past 2 years. we also get a lot of calls for the taxi service, as we are just a few digits off, but i guess that's all fare game. i just got the best wrong number ever, which is why i am posting this...but first, my second favorite wrong number ever...
i picked up the ringing phone to hear:
"who is this? you just called me?"
"i'm sorry ma'am, i didn't just call you. i believe you have the wrong number. sorry."
"mmmm, mmmm, i know you just called me, because i just used my *69 and you are on the other end, so you musta just called me."
"i'm sorry ma'am, I didn't just call you."
"we'll someone in your house musta just called me."
....and it went on and on like this for a good couple of minues. she had the phone number right and everything, i guess she had caller id as well, but there was no way in the world that she could have just called, because i was watching a movie and no one else was home. but she was no longer concerned with finding the person who actually called her, she just wanted to convince me that i had rung her up just a few minutes ago. that's just weird...

but now for the wrong number of the day. i just picked up the phone, and before i could even say hello i heard:
"you better put that phone down and get your butt over here..and then a word or two i didn't pick up. i gently told her she had the wrong number, and she laughed and apologized, and we said our goodbyes.
