Wrong Number, But . . .
 

don't you hate it when the other person insisted that he has the right number? There was this guy who called my cell and I told him that it was the wrong number. He insisted that it was the right number and asked for the guy again. I just hung up on him.

I had this happen the other day.

"Jessica?"
"No, this is Jen"
"Is Jessica there?"
"No m'am I'm afraid you have the wrong number."
"But I dailed 859-....-....."
"Yes, well thats my number"
"but thats Jessica's number"
"M'am I"ve had this number for 3 years. I'mnot sure what to tell you"

....3 minutes later of explaining that this was not jessica's number

"Well, I'm sorry. I thought this was Jessica's number"

I hate the people who call again and again thinking they must have just hit the wrong number on accident.... But nope, it really IS a wrong number. After the first time someone calls, I just let the voicemail get it, cause I figure once they hear a message with my name on it, they'll understand. :)

The area code on my cell is different from the one where I live, so whenever I see a Dallas number that I don't know, I can be pretty sure it's a wrong number.

i got these calls all the time when i first had my current cell phone number. they would call me once and i would say "you have the wrong number". three seconds later, same person calls again.

once i got a call at 3:00 in the moring asking when i was going to come over. i was like "girl you have the wrong number, and why are you having guys come over at 3:00 in the moring?" she said "i need my man" and just laughed. every now and then i will get random calls.

You should have gone over! LOL. :p

no way, she sounded fat and maybe had missing teeth from the way she spoke.

I guess you're right. And thinking about it, she couldn't have been too intelligent either.... Not even being able to get her booty call's number right. :)

For about the first 3 or 4 years that I had AT&T (pretty much until they changed to Cingular) I was getting 2 or 3 calls a week from creditors and collectors looking for Mr. and Mrs. McGinn. I guess they used to have my number, and they must have been in some kinda trouble. But damn, that got annoying. :rolleyes:

Wow, that is crazy! My grandparents paid my cell phone bill, but I don't think they ever had any problems with them.

I've never had any problems since changing over to Cingular... The service has worked well. Have other people had problems with them?

I just say "He's dead" and hang up.

(Dialing up)
(Telephone rings)
"Hello? Nah nah she don't live here man.
I thought I told you.
Yo I think you need to step off. Aight?"

Moved into my apartment at the U-N-I-versity
The only one who lives here is me
So why the the phone ring all day long
I got no friends except Mike, but he's gone for the summer
And I just want some peace and quiet
I come to my room and it's a telephone riot
Ring-a-ling-a-ling
Everytime I take a step
Can't eat, can't sleep, can't breathe
Can't get any of my work done
Cuz people keep callin with the same damn question
"Hello, is Shaniqua there?"
Nah Shaniqua moved out last year
I think you have the wrong number
This is Little T
"You mean Shaniqua's brother?"
Man, can't you just leave me alone
This ain't Shaniqua's house
This ain't her phone
And don't call back again
Cuz if you do, you know the answer man

Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
"Is Shaniqua there?" HELL NO
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
"Is Shaniqua there?" HELL NO

I wonder who Shaniqua is
What she does or where she lives
Is she a pothead with too many zits?
A movie star with incredible tits?
Does she take the train, or drive in the car?
Work in the office, or down at the bar?
How the hell should I know?
She could be albino for all I care
"Hello, is Shaniqua there?"
Yeah, she is, but she can't talk now
She's busy milking a purple cow
And talking to the Easter Bunny
"Man you thing you're funny!"
Shut up Beavis, I told you six times before

Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
"Is Shaniqua there?" HELL NO
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
"Is Shaniqua there?" HELL NO

Checked my machine on Friday
There were tewnty-two messages
Man I can't win at this
One said
"This here's for the kid living with Shaniqua.
You want that chick, you can keep her!"
Will this ever cease
So I can get some sleep
Shaniqua moved out
Leave ya message at the beep
(Beep!)
"Yo shaniqua..."
"I Love You..."
"Call Me."

Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
"Is Shaniqua there?" HELL NO
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
Shaniqua don't live here no mo'
"Is Shaniqua there?" HELL NO

I always get calls for someone named Chris/Kris. I finally asked someone what number they were calling for her, and it was one digit off. So, now I just give them the right number.

If she's been giving the wrong number out purposely, she's screwed!

I have a similar situation, with people mistaking a "1" for a "7" and thus getting my phone! Many times it's an elderly person, so I just correct them. The weird thing is, it turned out to be the number of someone I went to high school with.

There's this one woman who has called my desk number on multiple occasions. One day she called here 4 times. YOU HAVE THE WRONG NUMBER. She was calling like a hair salon or something. This is a law firm. If you dial again, the number isn't going to change.

She called back a week later. Nope, number still hasn't changed.

My parents' phone number ends in a 6. There was a lawn care company whose number ended in a 5, and I guess on their billing statements the print wasn't very clear. We would get calls ALL the time... people would even leave messages on our answering machine "when are you coming out to do my lawn". Apparently they missed the "hello, you have reached the ____'s" when they called. :rolleyes:

I have gotten two calls looking for Lisa. I said that there is no Lisa here. He read me the number. I told him that's this number, but there is no Lisa. He called back a few days later, but he said "Sorry wrong number" and hung up. His area code is 416 so next time I see it, he'll go straight to voice mail.

Man, can I relate to these stories. I got a new cell phone through Verizon (b/c ATT SUCKS!). Well, my number is similar to a number they use at one of the commands at the Norfolk Naval Base. I get at least two or three phone calls from the base EVERY DAY! I have tried everything from calling the number back to answering the calls. Nothing has worked. SO FRUSTRATING!

That's great! Before I was able to block telemarketers, I would get a TON of calls for my aunt (I have her old phone number). I would respond, "She's dead," as nonchalantly as I could. When they asked for her husband, I would say, "Dead, too."

As for telemarketers for phone companies? I usually say, "Oh, do you mean telephones?" They say yes, so I say, "I don't believe in them. They're the tools of the devil! But thank you for calling!"

I'm met some interesting people that way...

My father has the same name as this cardiologist in town. People would call our house all the time and would leave some personal medical questions on our answering machine thinking they reached the doctor's home number.

The funniest was when some guy called my boyfriend's cell and asked if he could talk to Kristen. When my boyfriend said that he had the wrong the number, the guy goes, "Oh hell naw! That b*tch gave me a fake number!" and then hung up. Classic.

A few years ago, some airline pilot called my apartment claiming that someone had paged him with my number. I told him there must have been a mistake and someone must have misdialed. He kept insisting that there's no way someone could have misdialed. Uh...yeah there is genius. Then he started asking me questions about the number since it was 407 and then asked what the weather was like in Orlando. He then told me that he would be flying into Orlando the next week and said, "I'd love to meet you." EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! I was only 19 at the time! I said, "Um..yeah...I've got to go..." and promptly hung up.

That is awesome! I imagine guys doing that after I give them fake numbers. LOL. :)

LOL! I have not heard that song in ages! I was thinking about it a couple of weeks ago.



About the topic, a guy called me who had the wrong number. After a couple of min. of telling him the phone number belonged to me, he then proceeds to tell me how nice I sound on the phone. :rolleyes: I hung up.

We have four lines at work and every damn day someone calls on Line 2 asking for the same freaking person. We have had that number since last December!!! How many times do I have to tell them that they have the wrong number?

You guys. Just do what I do.

how many of you have friends that have voice mail that says "hello..........hello.........helloooo..........oh , i am sorry but i cant make it to phone now so leave me a message"

i fall for it all the time :rolleyes:. however, i think its still funny.

A friend of mine used to have the message, "Hey!.........................HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! !!!!"

Nice. :p

How much would you like to have? I mean, if these are repeat offenders, go with the flow. They ask for Kate, tell them that you're Kate - your voice is just a little funny from the face lift. Ask them if they've had plastic surgery yet. When they get huffy and say no, ask them why not - they certainly need it.

Get the idea?

One of the bad things about living in a dorm is the fact I'm getting phone calls for a girl who hasn't lived in my room for over three years! There's two different people calling her (I don't know what for) and I don't know how many times I have told them that's this chick doesn't live here anymore....:mad:

And they have to call at 8 in the morning.

OMG, I've had this exact converstion only they were looking for Maria. I had 3 different people call my number looking for this woman, and everytime I told them they had the wrong number but still kept calling.

That's a Toronto phone #

:) you are funny :p
