wrong numbers
people call me all the time with the wrong number--i average about one call a day. but often its at a time that will wake me up, or when im driving in the car and i have to fuss to get my phone outta my pocket and then when i answer it, its some [censored] who just says, "o. i think i have the wrong number."
what the [censored] [censored]? do i have any legal recourse? it really isnt fair to me that i get woken up at 3 in the morning just because some idiot cant operate the phone. am i just totally screwed here? i demand restitution. should i just call the number back at some unholy hour of night and tell them to lick my ass? how does OOT deal with situations like this? |

Re: wrong numbers
No problem - I had to pick the phone up anyway.

Re: wrong numbers
dude quit bitching, turn your phone off at night if it's that big of a deal.
You can always change your phone number as well |

Re: wrong numbers
apparently whoever had this number before me spoke spanish and didn't inform anyone of his number change.
its been a year i still get the occasional call all in spanish, asking for someone. it probably takes up .00001% of my time, but then again they dont call at 3am. My old home phone number ended in 3644 and the local high school was 3664. We got a lot of calls to confirm excused absences, etc. Since the HS had students answering phones, I usually pretended to take the message, occasionally made up stuff about them not showing up that day or being suspended. |

Re: wrong numbers
My number used to be owned by a black woman who apparently got around quite a bit. I'd get calls almost daily for a couple weeks from a different guy each time saying, "Yo Rhonda be in?"

[/ QUOTE ] This reminds me of what someone told me in college. A popular calzone place had a phone number of 368-8878. If you want to dial off-campus, you have to hit "9" first, but people would always forget to do this meaning they would call the dorm room at extension 3688 (the first 4 numbers of the calzone place). The kids would always pretend to take orders, then when people called back an hour later asking where their orders were, they'd just be like "oh, the driver just left with it." It was kinda dick, but at the same time I can't blame them since I imagine it must have happened all the freaking time. I imagine I would have done the same if it happened to me enough [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

Re: wrong numbers
I can't remember the specific thing I say but the key is I DO NOT act like an [censored].

Re: wrong numbers
Mitch: Sorry, your seatbelt seems to be broken. What do you recommend I do?
Cab Driver: I recommend you stop being such a [censored]. You're in the backseat. Please adapt this to your situation. |
