this just tickled me to no end..
Mkrop, hope everyone is OK after that phone call. My bet it was some kind of auto dial system that had it's time of day screwed up. We used to get those calls every Sat. night around midnight. Can't call them back to take you off their list, the phone company can't help, and you lose a night's sleep because you are now WIDE awake from being scared out of slumber. It mysteriously stopped. None of my family has blocked phone numbers, so I knew it wasn't a problem, but too late-I've already been awakened!!
At our old house we had a phone number that was the same as the Hilton except for 1 digit..a 4 instead of a 1. On the phone pad, they are directly next to each other, and information sounds like a "one" if they say "four"..AND they had MY phone number in their brochure. You would be surprised how many people think it's ok to call a hotel at 3:00 a.m. and asked to speak to "so and so"...and of course, they were actually speaking to me.
