Don't you just hate rude people?

I wanted to share something that has happened to me this morning: I wake up and went to work with a good mood, and I received a call from a woman that obviously made a mistake. She took the wrong number, but she didn't realize it and started talking and talking about things that I really didn't understand, and I couldn't stop her. When I finally told her that I wasn't the person she tried to reach, she said ok sorry, and hang up. Then I received two text messages and I just ignored them, to make her understand that she kept making the same mistake. When she called me again after a few hours, I politely asked her not to call me again, and instead try to find the correct number she wanted to dial. Her response? She shouted all the f- words at me, she yelled at me and called me names, and she hang up. From that moment I got very upset by her rudeness! My God how rude people can get!

Maybe she thinks you ARE the person she's trying to reach and she's being lied to? That would make me mad...not enough to swear but mad. Don't let it ruin your day though, this woman doesn't sound like she's worth your time.

she is really rude, considering that she is the one who made the mistake. she should be aware that had the wrong number when you told her that and when you hadn't replied to her messages. rude people really sucks!!!

Wow, that sounds like she is a real wing dinger of a person. I hope you don't have anymore calls from her. If she continues to harrass you, now that she knows your not the person she is trying to contact, I would call your phone company or cell phone company and ask if there is some way to block her calls or see what you can do legally. She doesn't sound to stable to me!

Yes, I never like rude people. It is easy to annoy me because of the rude people. Sometimes I will receive the wrong call like you. And I think it's quite stupid because the caller makes a wrong call and also won't apologize to it.

This has been happening to me constantly, since I got a new cell phone. Some bill collector keeps calling for some guy who's name I can't pronounce. Everytime they call I tell them that this person no longer is at this number and to please stop calling. Yet the next day the same thing happens again. I've had people call me at 3am asking for him and then get mad at me when I tell them they have the wrong number. I had one lady yell at me telling me well I know this is the number cause its the one he gave me. I was like listen lady its a cell phone number, it gets recycled after the person gets the phone turned off and given to someone else. So I really do know how ya feel.

Yes I must say I don't like rude people at all. I mean they really don't have much class. I like people who are nice and treat people right. Those are the kind of people I like. Thank you.

Some people are into themselves so far they have no room for anything else. When corrected...instead of saying they are sorry and do something different...they keep trying because they know they are right and the person they are talking to is trying to get rid of them. Some people do not want to understand. They only want you to understand and cooperate. Bottom line if you keep you patience and do not let it effect you they are the only losers. It can be itteretating but it is thier problem...don't take it on yourself.

I hate rude people too. The thing that bugs me the most is when people leave rude messages on your machine for people who do not even live at your house. I get that alot. Creditors calling for this one woman. They leave the rudest messages and then if I actually happen to answer the phone, they accuse me of being that woman and are super rude to me. I had to actully send certified letters to these companies stating I was not the person they were looking for to stop calling me to get them to leave us alone. But I have a funny story about a rude woman who called the wrong number. When I first moved into my house and got my phone turned on, I got a very rude call one night. The phone rang and I answered it with Hello. The next thing I knew a woman was screaming at me. She wanted to know who I was, what was I doing in her house, where was Tyrone, she was going to come right over and kick my butt, etc. She cursed me and screamed at me and called me all kinds of names. I just let her go on until she finally got tired and stopped talking. Then I calmly told her that I was sorry, but I think she dialed the wrong number. I told her that this was the Vokey residence and what number had she dialed. She said "what?" and told me the number she dialed. It was one digit off from my number. I told her that she had dialed my number by mistake. She just said "oops, sorry" and hung up. I just laughed as I told my husband about it.

Something similar happend to me too few days ago.Some woman call here ans started talking and talking there was no way to interupt her.After few minutes I finally tell her she has a wong number and she tell me, it doesn't matter, becuase she can sell me the product too.(she even didn't know who she is calling)So I said I am not interesting and hung up.But after that she was calling three more times.You are right , it is so annoying.

It's very strange for her to do so. Maybe she was disturbed by something and has fallen into a mad mood, as a result she kept to dial the wrong number. In my opinion, you could have a talk with her.

WOW She must have been having an even worse day than she wound up making yours. If need be I would block her phone number from my phone to prevent further abuse. Its too bad she had to go overboard on her reaction! That is horrible!

Boy do I know how you feel. We moved into our house about a year ago. The phone number we got was reused from a business that used to be in our town. We get calls for the business all the time. The thing is, my husband has the same first name as the owner of the business. So sometimes people will ask for Barry and I won't even think twice and I'll hand him the phone. One guy starting going on this huge sales pitch and wouldn't let my husband get a word in. Finally he let my husband talk and he told him that we weren't a business. The guy got really rude and asked him why he let him go through all that if we weren't the right people. Apparently parents quit teaching not to be rude lol.

I have not had anyone yell at me, but I have had people call over and over for someone who used to have my telephone number. After telling them like 10 times that they have the wrong number they asked, "Well, do you have their new number?" Uh, I don't even know these people! Why would I have their number??

Wow, that really was rude. I hope she stops calling you. Sounds like she is pretty mad at whoever she is trying to call. I have someone calling here all the time and it is a wrong number. Same person every time. She does not get nasty about it like you got though.
