We occasionally get calls for a calling card company, one of our phone numbers is one digit out, so when people make a fat finger call, they invariably get us.

Today has been a very busy day, my billing system cocked up and then spewed all my data back out, so I wasn't too happy.

So far I've told 8 callers that their company has gone into administration

 

There is a family in the phone book, same last name, same first initial, same rural route address that's listed in the phone book, except they live in the next small town....And they're turkey farmers. Every Thanksgiving and Xmas I get countless phone calls/messages from people.

 

Oh, that reminds me... can I order a turkey please?

 

:gobble: :gobble:

 

 

Complaint... "Here it is Thanksgiving and I have yet to see my turkey"
Shareall: "That's because I'm eating it "

 

 

When I was a freshman in high school I had a friend named Braniff. His phone number was one digit away from the pay-per-view number for the local cable TV company.

They used to get calls all the time just like you guys are talking about and his mom (a lawyer with a VERY good sense of humor) got so sick and tired of it that she started taking people's orders when they called...including asking for their credit card info and all the rest. She, of course, didn't KEEP any of the information, but I guarantee that the pay-per-view company got a LOT of complaints about shows that they ordered but didn't receive...

 

When we moved into our townhouse the people before had 2 phone lines...
We only needed one, so the phone company "took care" of the other one...
They took care of it so well that every once and a while it would ring w/ a phone on that jack...
Dominoes
Only thing is that Dominoes would answer too... So I could hear both ends...


Cust: I need 2 medium peperoni pizzas.
Me: & a large supreme...
Cust: no I don't need a supreme
Dominoes: I didn't say you did...
The confusion was great!!!

 

maybe this'll help ya mikey:

my wife: "You're a great guy, you're just not the one for me"

me: "but-"

my wife: "I'm filing papers."

me: "-ah-"

my wife: "Don't call me."

me: "No, wait-"

my wife: "No."

then she drives away....

so after all my soul searching, personal committment... standing by her through thick and thin this year, i got dumped by my wife on new years day with no better explanation than that. happy fockin new year, I'm bitter... i mean mad as hell...

sorry for stealing your thunder mikey, but you're a sweet man...
