Wrong number!

[Draka]

Do you have any interesting or funny wrong number stories?


The old phone number I had was just two numbers reversed from a local bar's phone number. Ironically it was a bar I use to frequent a few years back (it's no longer in business). So when I would get calls late at night and up to 2am asking for some regular at the bar or the girl who runs the karaoke (a friend of mine) I'd reply "no, you got the wrong number. You want Mug Shot and their number is ###-####". Which usually elicited a response of "how'd you know?" and my response would be "This is Diva (my karaoke name I was bestowed with )". They'd usually laugh at the irony, apologize and say goodnight. Sometimes it turned out to be a friend and they had no clue they called me and we'd chat for a bit before they'd call back to the bar.


My parents once had a phone number that was like that with a local pizza place. My father once got so ticked off by all the calls we'd get that he started taking orders one day. Consequently there we're several people irate about not getting their pizzas. :cover:

I have one:
One night I answered the phone and said "hello", a female voice made fun of the way I said hello. Then all of a sudden she started talking. I tried to tell her that she had a wrong number but I couldn't get a word in. I finally got fed and hung up on her. I wondered if spoke to the person she thought I was and was dismayed to find out that the person never got a call from her.

One time I got a text from a number I didn't recognize asking if they wanted me to bring pizza over. I texted back "sure". A little bit later they texted me again going "oh sorry wrong number". I texted back that I still wanted the pizza.


I never got the pizza. *sigh*

I got electricity and gas telephone numbers crossed when wanting to ask for new services. It was quite embarrasing when I discovered that I was getting angry with the gas board because they could not comprehend that I wanted the wiring to the meter extended in order to move the meter.......

When I used to work at Petco, I used to get calls all of the time for a business in the area called Pepco. People would call information, and get our number. There were several times when I'd answer and someone would just start rambling on about the problems they were having with their air conidtioner or whatever, and I had to just cut them off completely. Not a great story, but it fit the bill.
