Ever got a really amusing phone call?

[FPAlpha]

So it's the 26th, i'm sitting at home in front of my computer and my mobile rings.. i look at it and lo and behold, it's a former one night stand/short affair i had a while back which didn't end all that well.

For one reason i don't burst out in "Hey.. , how have you been?" but in a more neutral "[insert family name]" to which i only hear a half panicked "Oh.. OH!" and she hangs up

Guess she kept my number (as i kept hers) and misdialled


Another time someone calls me from their cell onto my landline and i only see the number (just got a new phone and was too lazy to program all my numbers in it) which i assumed to be my best (female) friend so i pick it up and go "Hi honey.."... long pause and a male voice answers "Hello?" to which i go WTF is a dude doing at her place and why is he calling me from her mobile?

Turns out to be a buddy of mine who happens to have the same mobile service provider as her and since she's the only one to occasionally call my landline via her mobile i automatically assumed it to be her.

Didn't live that down for weeks with my buddy.. lost track of how many times he's greeted me with "Hi honey.."

i had one of these stupid cold-calls about being mis-sold payment protection insurance we keep getting and the woman asked for Mrs J [x name], I said 'who is it, please?' - a bit suspiscious since i wondered why some Indian-sounding woman was askin for my mum - and she then proceeded to talk to me about this PPI bullshit, despite my male voice, as if i was my mum.

Apparently, my number is, or used to be, similar to a local homeless shelter. It hasn't happened for a while, but I used to get a lot of calls from clearly inebriated ladies and gentlemen looking for a bed. One time, I was awakened in the middle of the night by a call from someone who drunkenly asked, "Do you have a bed available?" Sleepily, I answered, "No, you have the wrong number." Pause. "Should I call back later?"

"No," I said. "It will still be the wrong number."

^Nice response, RJ.

My favorite wrong number was a message left on my answering machine many years ago. Dr. X., a psychiatrist, was calling Ms. Y., a patient who had missed her appointment. This being pre-HIPAA, he included more details in the message than one would now. Oops.

What made the message so memorable was that I figured out that I actually knew this Ms. Y. She had been a client of mine. Like I said, OOPS!

I once got an obscene call from a young lady who was infatuated with me! I answered the phone and the voice on the other end said "Hello!" real heavy breath-y.

Thinking it was a practical joke from a female friend of mine I answered back "Hello" as sultry and deep voiced as I could.

She followed with "Do you want to have sex with me?" This cracked me up! I said "Aw what the heck! We've got 20 minutes before McGuyver comes on, whatcha got in mind??"

Well as she went on I realized this was no prank, this chick was really trying to give me a sexy phone call. I had no idea who it was! (even to this day)

So after she offered to do some pretty naughty things to my body I told her I was only interested if she could bring her mother along!!

She gasped!!

"Well I hope you know you're talking about a dead woman!!" she shouted.

"Well that'd be necrophilia then, wouldn't it??" I chortled

"Go to hell!" she hollered!

"Why?" I said, "Is that where she is?"

Then she threw a very nasty FU at me and I finished with "...but I thought that was what this was all about??"

Then she hung up. I can't imagine why!

Something similar happened to me once, maybe a year ago. I was down at the shop when some lass called me on me mobile, she was trying to reach her therapist. I told her i didn't know the bloke, but she kept yammering on, blissfully oblivious. I ended up talking to her for maybe two hours when eventually I got a call on another phone and was forced a to end the conversation.

She thanked me that i could talk to her on me off hours, since she obviously heard that i was busy, and asked if i could speak to Dr. She-couldn't-pronounce-his-name for her. (She obviously thought i was a colleague of her therapist or something.) After which I answered that it would be quite difficult since I didn't know the bloke. She then asked who I was and laughing, I replied, "I'm the ravishingly handsome 18 year old mechanic who took your call while knee deep in Toyota, that you decided to pour you heart out to. After I repeatedly informed you that you had the wrong number. Have a nice day, Bye." and hung up.

She called me a few hours later and asked me to keep quiet about everything she said about her friends, who btw sounded like jerks, and thanked me for speaking to her. We've spoken a number of times since then. I dunno what happened to her therapist, but she once said that it was more fun talking to the tall, dark, mysterious stranger, than a middle aged serbian bloke.

Didn't get any amusing calls, but a group of my co-workers in one of my shops in the Air Force used to make them (sort of). We had six phone lines into our shop, two for each crew, and one of the lines was one digit off the line to make racquetball reservations at the base gym. After a while of getting misdials, a couple of guys on that crew thought it would be funny to start taking reservations rather than telling the caller they had the wrong number. They quit once someone told the shop chief what was going on, but I used to wonder how many fights they started over at the gym when two people showed up for the same slot.

Yeah, I get messages like that sometimes, too. If they leave a callback number, I call them back and let them know-- unfortunately, they seldom leave a number.

Nasty.. brilliant but still nasty
