7. my MIL
had a similiar wrong call number, much like SeattleGirls example...but it was a man wanting to kick the crap of some lady, who cheated on him, and thought my MIL was "that" lady...my MIL so so, anti confrontational, she didn't know what to do, except hang up...same guy called seconds later, and said he was on his way over...she was scared, and called my wife and I...and we had to go comfort her...this was...hmm, about two years ago...

2. Had to have been a freeper.
I answered the home phone one night, and a woman asked if (guy's name) was there. I politely told her that she had the wrong number. She started screaming at me that she knew I was lying, and she knew (guy's name), her husband, was THERE, and I'd better damned well let her talk to him.

I was rather taken aback, and told her again, this time not so nicely, that there was no one here by that name. I hung up on her while she was still screaming at me.

She called 5 more times in a row, screaming at me each time. I finally had to unplug the phone.

Some people......:eyes:

5. I know.
I mean, obviously this woman knew her husband was stepping out on her, and I understand her being upset, but sheesh. Verbally abusing me was not going to get her anywhere. I hope things have gotten better for her, I will say that.

12. "dunny sack"? Is that a typo, or is it some obscure insult
that I can start using on people who annoy me?

14. Here is what happened to me :
Scenario : a teenage girl who sounded like a teenager she could be in her early 20s is calling my cell for a guy named Ant- I am not Ant and I don't know an Ant except for the one who lives in my garden in hills.

Ring Ring : I look on the caller ID and realize its not for me its for Ant ... I get pissed because this is the 100th time this has happened.

Me: Hello ?

Her: can I speak to Ant ?

Me: I have told you a hundred times you have dialed the wrong number.

Her: Shut yo ugly a-- up !

CLICK

I am pissed off so I take her number and do a reverse lookup to get her addy. I called her back and I told her if she calls there again I am coming to (insert address) to whip her butt. She got scared - never called back.

16. This one guy keeps calling my cell
So one time, I'd get the guy he wanted to talk to. So I changed my voice to sound like Dr. Claw from Inspector Gadget.

"Hello is there?"

Yeah hold on. *changes voice* What the hell are you doing calling my goddamned cell?

"Holy crap!"

*Hangs up*
