Yesterday I got the weirdest wrong number call, and it was just after 7:30 in the morning yesterday. I get off work and go to my favorite resturant for buiscits n gravy with 3 eggs over easy ontop. I get this call from this chick that is trying to sell me a magazine subscription. I say no thanks she says she will throw in some kind of cheezy vacation bullshit. I still say not thanks, and ask how she got my number, and she kept evading the answer and started hitting on me. She said I sounded good looking and that we should go out sometime.

First off, she sounded anything BUT hot. Her voice was a little deep for me, I could either picture some 450lb chick sitting in a nasty trailer with bags of popcorn and potato chips everywhere, along with god knows what else. Or simply shes apart of an operation like this:

Remember that Discover Card commercial? Peggy, from USA Prime Credit.

It all sounded scary to me so I hung up. No busted fat chicks for me thx.

Just the odd person calling my number thinking they have called Home Depot... since the last two numbers of both phone numbers are right next to each other on a phone's keypad...

When I got my first cell phone, I kept getting calls from some guy that was convinced that we had dated and that I was lying when I told him my name was NOT Monique...I stopped answering and he would leave long VMs talking about some really crazy things. They provided for great entertainment for my friends and I. He stopped calling after about two weeks. I think back then they may have recycled numbers a bit...maybe.

I don't get wrong number calls as such, but I do get a lot of people accidentally calling me - I'm the first person in lots of peoples' phone books.

4 minute long voicemails from the inside of pockets are common.

I've had my number for 4 years and still get occasional calls for the person who had it before me (she apparently worked in a school and may have been a nun). I'm just amazed that I still get them after so much time.

Got a shit load in the US. Stupid recycled numbers.
Someone was absolutely convinced we were cousins, even after I told her I was living in PHX and not LA, and that I was English.

British gas phone occasionally and then get angry at anyone who answers when we tell them we don't have gas. Couple of months back they were phoning every day, they finally got the message though. Now it's only once every couple of months. Stupid twats.

I'd type my pc specs out all fancy again but teh mods would remove it. Again.

Macbeth: Banned; +2,444|5583

I got a new carrier and number about awhile back. For about a year I kept getting phone calls and text messages from the previous owners bank, school, church, friends, and family.

I sometimes caused trouble with the text messages. Like when his Coptic church kept sending event texts I told them I had converted, they were upset. I also set up a trip with his friends down the shore.

He should have had his records with his bank and school changed at least, if I wanted to be a real cock I could have wrecked havoc with those.

My phone company allows me to block up to ten numbers. I had been getting calls from the same number (old guy asking for someone that didn't lives at my home) in up wards of 4 times a day. I blocked that number. Also I blocked dell (if yer' late 1 fucking second, the calls start).

I change the number of my wifee's cellular phone. Apparently some ass hat picked a random phone ## (which happened to be hers) and proceeded to rack up enough unpaid debt to warrant collection agencies to call and harass. At first she'd politely explain that the individual they're looking for has nothing to do with her. The calls continued. I had the good folk at ATT change her number. They did it for free and the calls have since stopped.

I stood in line for four hours. They better give me a Wal-Mart gift card, or something. - Rodney Booker, Job Fair attendee.

I am pretty sure that if you tell them that you are not the person they are looking for and they continue to call, then they are doing at least two things wrong. 1...it is harassment and 2...they shouldn't be sharing financial and legal information with anyone other than the person they are looking for.

I also am pretty sure that the law says that if you tell them they are calling a cell phone and that you want them to stop the phone calls, then they have to comply and continue communications via mail. Actually, I think you can tell them that whether it is a cell or not.

Once I had this guy call up my mobile number. He seemed reluctant to speak at first, then said 'put Shirley back on'. I said 'lolwut, there is no Shirley here'. He then went on about how he hit redial and that somehow I had the phone of someone he knew, to which I replied 'I am at home by myself'. He then apologised and hung up.

He called back pretty much immediately, after having hit redial instead of typing in the other phone number again. derp.

A few years ago this residential number use to get a few calls asking if it was Goldsteins bakery. My guess is that either everyones fingers are too fat and they hit the wrong keys or someone put the wrong phone number down somewhere.

Some senile old bat kept phoning our number -
"Your son John is not here. You have the wrong number.
"No. YOU have the wrong phone"

And so it went on, for about two weeks.

Also some feral kept leaving messages on my mobile
"Oi ya c*nt, answer the fucking phone"
