GET A CLUE!!! (Clueless person vent)

GEEZ!

Ya'd think that they'd FIGURE OUT that if this phone number was wrong 5 days ago, 4 days ago, 3 days ago, 2 days ago, yesterday, AND TODAY, that, hmm, gee...

IT'S STILL A WRONG NUMBER. STOP CALLING IT!

That reminds me of something.. a couple of years back, this infuriated mother called my house and she confused me for her daugher thinking she had her daughters friends number. I told her that she had the wrong number but she was convinced I was her daughter and gave me a tongue lashing for about 5 minutes until she figured out that I wasn't 'Jamie'. This woman didn't even apologize.

Though, I thought it was funny so. lol I didn't really mind.

Our second line is one number away from Social Security office. You would think that when someone just says hello and not Social Security they would have a clue that they have the wrong number. One woman started going into details about her bank account and automatic deposit before I could say you have the wrong number. Of course there are also the people that just keep calling back without checking what number they are dialing (I think they just hit redial) and get upset because we can't help them!

Reminds me of a phone call I had at work around Christmas.

The name of my Hallmark is Matthew's Hallmark. There is a Matthew's Construction company in Richmond and for some reason, 411 mixes up our numbers.

I answered the phone one day..

"Matthews Hallmark, Lauri speaking, may I help you?"

and this voice said

"How much do you charge per hour to bore (as in holes, but I couldn't pass up this opportunity)"

I said

"Well sir, I consider this a pretty exciting Hallmark store but if you aren't thrilled with it to the point your bored, well you don't have to pay us a thing!"

He said

"Huh?"

I said

"You just called a Hallmark store"

Now you would think we would both sit back and have a good laugh at the situation but apparently his BVDs were cutting off his sense of humor and he just hung up.

Life is too short not to laugh

I know how frustrating that is especially since those types of calls usually come right when you're in the middle of something. Have you tried asking the person what # they are trying to call? Maybe your # is what they have written down and they keep thinking they must have dialed wrong.

Our phone number used to be one number (a 1 instead of a 4) different from the new Hilton in town. People used to call at all hours of the night, and I am not a nice person when aroused from my sleep, especially since it started right around the time I had my first child. After hanging up on more people than I can remember, I finally started asking where they were getting my number. Some said, Information (okay, if you don't hear well, "one" could sound like "four" ) or they were dialing wrong-"1" is right next to "4" on the keypad. Then someone told me they got the number from a brocure! Then a couple more people said the same thing. I called the Hilton and "blessed them out", and told them they needed to check into this, because ever since they came to town this was happening. I had to turn the phone off in our bedroom. It stopped shortly after my phone call to the Hilton. I don't know what happened, but now when the very rare call comes in, I even give them the correct number. After all, I do have it memorized!!
