Wrong Phone Numbers

[lunarbeamdancer]

we have all gotten them...wrong numbers. what was the funniest or strangest wrong number you have ever gotten?
Caller (C) Hello is Ken Potter there?
Me (M) Ahh no you have the wrong number.
C/ Oh Im sorry
M/ Did you ask for a Ken Potter?
C/ Yes.
M/ Now thats strange I have an uncle & cousin by that name.
After a few more minutes on the phone comparing notes on what he knew about Ken we found out that he WAS calling my cousin!

Weird! What are the chances?

I can't think of a phone call--but, I used to work with a guy. We got to know each other and became great friends. After I'd know him for awhile, my cousin showed up at our work. Turns out my co-worker-friend knew my cousin. Small world, eh?

Not a wrong number but a wrong package delivery. The company is in fl and the guy was in fl and the package ended up in Tn. The guys last name was the same as ours. And his phone number was on the receipt so my dh called him, come to find out his parents are from tn just about an hour up the road. Its a very small world sometime. We still have the parts the company never arranged to pick them up, and when we called they wanted us to pay to send them back to fl. I said I don't think so it's your mistake you call ups and fix it. That was almost six weeks ago, the guy received replacement parts, we still have a box of parts (retail value $110), and they are getting ready to go on ebay!!!

several months ago I would be getting people calling my cell by mistake... the numbers where the same as a country radio station but to call the station the people had to dial 1-800 first but they wouldn't so it would go to me.. people would be telling me to put on a song for them, and I would tell them you have the wrong number but some of them wouldn't get it! The kept telling me about songs and stuff it was funny sometimes...

One time also there was this man that called my number looking for Joseph and I told him you have the wrong number. That man kept telling me that Joseph had given him my number and he had to call it so that someone could give him the address to where he was going to send some money... I would hang up on this man but he sounded so worried about me not giving him the address. He would call at all times telling me he had all the money ready and he just wanted to know where to send it. Well I never did give him an address and ended up changing numbers... My brothers told me I should have given him my address so that he would have sent me the money... I said h3ll no! I don't want anyone coming after me later to get their money....scary stuff... ( I am pretty sure that man was wanting to pay off some drug debts)

My funniest phone call happened many many years ago. One of my DH friends called me and said, Mrs. P if you can sing me the Cambell's soup song I will send you a case of soup. (This ad was also on the radio) I was stunned and trying to remember the words....finally I remembered and started singing the song, mmmm, mmmm, good, mmmm, mmm, good, thats what Cambell's soups are, mmmm, mmm, good. THEN he bust out laughing! it was DH friend who sounded exactly like the guy on the radio!! I will never forget that, ever!

I got the number to Famous Daves one night to order some takeout and i messed the numbers up when i was dialing and got some lady on the phone and i told her i wanted to make a to go order and of course she told me wrong number but for some reason that night i asked her if she could give me the number to Famous Daves, like she would know it off the top of her head. She gave me a few not so nice words and hung up.
