Why do they often make out that it's your fault, that they've dialled the wrong number? Worse still, they expect you to tell them what they've done wrong!

I've had someone dial me in the past asking for (say) 'Dave' and I've politely replied "I'm sorry you've dialled the wrong number" to which they insisted they hadn't!

What the hell do you say to that without getting insulting?

They say "What number did I dial then?"

I say, "The wrong one!"

Yep , from the text angle ive had to tell several people theyve the wrong number - one or two ive simply resorted to playing along with it after they persisted,

I have two BT lines. On my lesser used line I receive a call every Christmas morning at about 9am, from a (I bet she is, she certainly sounds it) big fat old West Indian woman saying 'HAPPY CHRISTMAS son! No matter what I say or do she rings three or four times trying to get hold of him. This has happened every year for four years now and the strangist thing is that she has a Sheffield telephone number too, on the same exchange!

Can you go and look in the mirror and check if you are West Indian ?

Some bloke with a strong Indian accent, claiming to be called Nigel Martin, called me yesterday and insisted my postcode begins DE56.

He wouldn't have it that it begins NG3

So I told him to call back later and unplugged the phone

I have a colleague in whose mobile address book I'm the first entry, so a couple of random button presses are all it takes to call me.

He has a 2 yr old daughter who likes to play with the phone, so I've had several calls that were just baby noises... after the third call I warned him that if the impressionable youngster calls again I'd start teaching her to swear

Not had a call since

I had some couple send me a shed load of pics of themselves, jeez she was well fit. I sent them onto BIG FUD (on here). We had a right giggle, then **** myself incase the misses saw them and thought i was upto something, worst is the bird phoned me and asked if i liked the pics, i said you must have sent them to the wrong number. She just said never mind hope you liked them anyway. What an ace chick.

SunnySideUp

One of those random desperate woman texts?

The club down the road has one digit difference in their number to mine. When my phone rings I'm regularly asked if the pool team have turned up, or is so and so there.

One day I'm going to tell them pool is cancelled

I used to do similar at my parents, when people would mis-dial and try to book a table in the restaurant they thought they were calling.

I must have sent in loads of unexpected business Never eaten in there myself though, funnily enough

I remember texting a mate once

At least I thought I was texting a mate.
I get a reply back
"who is this"
So naturally reply with something like "Andy you bellend"
(we are good mates)
Next thing, the phone rings (his number on the screen)
I say -"Alright fella, fancy fogetting my number you ****"

All I get then is abuse hurled at me from some northern accented ****
"My Name's not F-ing Steve and if you call me a bell end etc etc I'm going to cut you up"
Big pause from me as I took it all in..
Realising it was the wrong number, I replied...
"so how exactly are you going to do that then STEVE" (just to rub it in)

I think he burst a blood vessel at that point.

Oh and I text him again after he hung up after five mins of raging down the line at me whilst I just laughed back at him..

Some people need to take a chill pill or two..

I have to ring people on my 'work' phone, they often don't answer but will then ring back some time later, it usually goes like,

Me: Hello
Them: Hello, you dialled my number
M: OK, who are you?
T: I'm not saying, who are you?
M: I'm not saying, who are you?






...one of us ends the call!

I also hate it when you get a genuine wrong number, then they read your number back to you...'well yes, that is my number, hence why I'm speaking to you, the person who gave you it or yourself, has made a mistake, I don't know who the person you're after, please go away'. Then they ring you back within minutes!

My mate's number is only a digit different from his local police station. Oh the fun we had one day with people ringing about crap.
One lad rang and I couldn't get a word in edge ways saying 'I want my brother arrested, he's nicked my can of Coke!'
He probably gets up to 6-8 calls on a bad day! He won't change his number though...

I had it this morning with someone getting me out of bed at the crack of dawn I missed the first call, found that it was 0845 number. He rang again ( I had taken the cordless to bed by then, so I took the call), and said in a very professional, non-ethnic voice- " It's Marks & Spencers". I said- "Yes?" He said- "I left a message on your asnswering machine yesterday, you must have got it." I said- "No, I didn't receive any message from you " He said- " Are you sure? I certainly left a message! You bought a dining table and chairs from us, and apparently they are not put together right? You want us to come and fix them for you, so here we are; in your area." I said- "No, sir. I have bought no furniture from you recently." He said- " Aren't you in Chambers lane?" I said "No." He said- "What's your phone number, then?" I said " Sorry, I don't need to tell you my number. Its sufficient to tell that you have rang the wrong person at wrong number." He foofed off, then.

I think there is something going on Why did he want to dig into which lane I lived by prompting "Chambers Lane" business to me, and why did he stress upon leaving a message? Ok, he might have genuinely got mixed up, and hopefully he was an M&S baby. Even then, 6 AM is a bit strange for M&S to call me

Careful, people. I have recently had walls and loft insulation people phoning me too (again, non-ethnic), asking for immediate appointment to survey my property. Not that I was interested, but as soon as I asked them for their authentification (their company name, website etc.), they hung up on me. All I would say that don't just give out your locations and phone numbers to cowboys and strange people. I am not some paranoid andreoid etc. but you do read stuff when people give out information on open and tactful questioning, for others' unjustified benefit.

One time I didn't just hang up. Some doddery old biddy called me by mistake thinking that I was DHL. She wanted to know how she could get her parcel redelivered, because she had been out when the driver had popped by. She was so confused and desperate for assistance that I logged on to the DHL website, took her tracking reference number to find out where the parcel had ended up, and organised the redelivery for her. To this day I'm sure she never quite understood that I had nothing to do with DHL or any other Courier for that matter.

We got the polish guy in work to phone the burger van to get the brekky rolls ready the other day, he rang the wrong number........twice!
We could faintly hear the guy on the other end, he didn't sound too pleased being bugged twice for gut buster burgers.

We then took the phone off him
