Wrong Number!

I loved being ignorant to the caller and didn't have to say anything more....lol

Great idea!!!! People who are that dumb don't deserve your manners.

Right on!!!

I only get charged on my cell if I listen to messages. I do not listen when I do not know the number.

I thought of that, but it's my cell, and costs money when someone leaves messages. If it was the house phone maybe, as there's no voice mail, but then they just might keep calling. I've had that happen too.

I get those fukkers every day for various people. They all need to be hung!

You must have a common phone number that everyone is bs'n theirs and it turns out to be yours! The only problem calls I get on my land line are for a company in the area and a rep from a phone company had said they had my number listed as the number for that company. He claimed he had fixed it the other year but I still get a call once a year. "No Mame this is a residential number, no I don't know their correct number"

Nope. Homephone and cellphone, and Hubby's cellphone, and our Vonage number in Arizona, are all pretty rando numbers.

I THINK YOu'RE 100% RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just remembered an incident I had with someone texting my husband's cellphone. I kept telling them this was not ###'s number, and they kept saying I was joking, I was mean, etc. Knowing it was a drunk student, teenager, young-type (you know what I mean!!) wasn't afraid to get on their level, and try to use words they understood. I used some pretty nasty ones, and they still kept it up. Definitely a male thing, now that I think of it. NEVER have I had a female act like this. Great point!

Somone asked me once, and I said no, since he could be a scanner, or phishing, or something equally devious.

Or had that before. This person said 3 but dialed 2. I always ask what number they want, so I can see how far off they are.

I hope you are straightforward with people who ask. Some just give out wrong numbers, and that's probably why I got the call that I got. It's like that scene in two and a half men, when Charlie gives the girls the number for a dry-cleaner in Korea Town, and at the end you hear a guy yell into a phone "THERE'S NO CHARLIE HERE!!!" LOL

I give out my old cell phone number Or 867-5309! Or a made up number. Or most of the time I say No phone!

You remind me of my first trip to Stanford University Hospital. I stayed with a friend who lived a ways away from the hospital and I had to take a bus to her home. It was around 9 p.m. when a gentleman climbed on the bus. He was drunk of course and his wife and kids were with him. He spotted me and in is intoxicated mind I was rich, drove a Mercedes (which was in the shop), worked in the financial district in San Francisco and was the years greatest catch. He was all over me like a cheap suit and I was getting really tired of his advances...especially with his wife glaring bullets at me. Finally I said "If I give you a phone number will you leave me alone? Of course he said yes, so I fished out my address book and found the number I wanted. He wanted to know why I had to look up my phone number and I promptly stated that I just moved into the area and didn't have my number memorized yet. I kind of came on to him when I handed him the phone number and told him not to call until after 1 a.m. We got to the town and the bus driver had called the police to remove the family from the bus. He then turned on me and started chewing me out for a fair thee well for giving out my phone number to the likes of that man. I let the driver rant and rave for a while and then I looked up at him like an innocent hick and said "What makes you think I gave him my phone number?" The driver paused a moment and said "Well I could tell you're a country gal and...." I looked at him and finished the sentence for him..."country gals are not too smart." He looked a bit sheepish and he really felt bad when I explained "If you had listened a bit closer I said I would give the man "A" phone number. I gave the man the phone number of a neighbor who is a real pain and everyone hates. I sure am not stupid enough to give him MY phone number". The bus driver apologized several times and stated "I wish my daughter was that smart!" When I got home the next day the woman was going around looking furious. My Mom told me that the woman was complaining that some drunk guy kept calling her all night long. Not bad for a dumb country hick!!!

I couldn't help but laugh too, sorry!

ROFLMAO!!!!!!! You're right, and tha's what my husband said. I don't know what the hell is up with me. I sure am having quite the weird luck with people thinking I'm someone else, and not believing me, when I tell them I'm not.

Hi, so wat's up on investigating Shannon?

Damn right I should!!! :)

I'm starting to wonder if you may be right. People are questioning my identity lately, and it's really beginning to BUG ME!!!!

I know what you mean. I changed my number when I changed phone companies, but the number I had before was assigned to a man named Andrew Keys, who buggered out on a lot of bills, and then changed his phone number. Searious, if I ever hear that name again, it'll be too soon. I had that number for almost 10 years, and I was still being harassed!! I know the feeling.

**or maybe because they were positive they dialed the RIGHT** number * -- Sorry. I was rereading my post and realised I had written 'wrong number' instead of 'right number' lol....

Unfortunately she might not have been all there in her head. I know a ton of eldery people who ARE all there, right up into their 100's, but I also know plenty of elderly people who are NOT there. Maybe that was her problem. Still frustrating, though.

See, that's what you get for locking up Mike in the basement!!! It never ceases to amaze me how stupid some of the people in the world are! And I'm even more amazed at how it comes out when they deal with others. But then you have to look at it in the respect that after we get over being annoyed we can have a really good laugh over it.

Lonely or not, it's a dumb idea to harass strangers.
