JUST SO THERE'S NO CONFUSION, I'M NOT

As I'm sitting at my desk playing Sims 3 rather than doing my Anthro. homework, my cellphone goes off. I don't recognize the number, but a few friends of mine have recently switched numbers, so I figured it might be one of them.

Naturally, I answer.

(I'm protecting my last name for the following conversation because who knows. One of you could be a creepy 68-year-old man)

Me: Hello?

Lady: Is this Miss. Smith?

Me: Yes.

Lady: I'm calling form the Women's Health Care centre. Now that we've confirmed your pregnancy results, we'd like to book you an appointment for your first ultrasound.

-long moment of silence where I'm trying not to facepalm-

Lady: ...This is the wrong Miss. Smith, isn't it...?

Me: Yeah.

-hangs up-

Anyone else ever had a name jumble over the phone with someone?

Heh, my friend once got this exact phone call. ...except it was actually just me, pranking her. :P

whoa.... that would seriously freak me out. lol

i got some goon calling me wanting to collect on some stranger's account (credit). he was SUCH a jerk from the get-go. since i was female and the account holder was a male, he asked me if i was the person's spouse.

i said, 'yeah sure... i could be anyone you need me to be, i mean, how would YOU know?' ... and that seriously pissed him off. he became really irate with me and wasn't sure if i was lying or not. it was pretty funny. haven't heard from them since.

oh man awkward.

ever since i got my new phone, i was getting weird numbers calling it. i'm really paranoid, so if i don't recognize the number, i just ignore it.

there were 3 or 4 different numbers calling with the same area code. FINALLY, i got a text from one of the numbers - asking if i was still up for the trip to "guerneville".

i googled guerneville, it's a gay resort.

i googled 2 of the numbers that kept calling my number. one was an attorney's office in San Francisco. another number was registered with a russian sex chat line.

so i texted the number back saying this was a different number and i still get the calls. lmao.

Oh yeah. Someone called and asked for my mom's name. Without thinking of asking who it was, I launch into why she wasn't here. "She's in Missouri. Her job transferred her. She's going to be moving up there soon." After a few minutes of the lady mumbling in disbelief she goes, "Wait, is this mom's name Smith?" Me under my breath- "Why didn't you say the last name?"

Yeah, wrong number.

LOL! I GOT A CALL JUST LIKE THAT FROM PLANNED PARENTHOOD ONCE.

I was like... WHOA. -what-.

What do you mean you have my pregnancy results? I've never been to your clinic or anything. ):

Then one time I was called to the office at school and they handed me this schedule and were like 'Here's your new schedule!'.

I was like what the fuck. So I looked at it. It was some freshman's schedule. I said 'Um, I'm not a freshman.' The lady goes 'Yes you are. Your name is ****'

((And it wasn't a question. She said it like a statement. She told me what my name was. (Which wasn't really my actual name. Just the name of the person she thought I was.) I mean, really? I know who I am. Thanks.))

So I said 'Um... No it isn't.'

Apparently there's this freshman at my school who has my EXACT name, just ONE letter off. :/

I should've said something like:

SHIT! That's what I did at that party. The sex must have been so awesome that I can't even remember it!

Ugh. That must suck.

My school keeps sending me home with two report cards. Becuase my mom's last name is hyphanated, they think my parents are divorced/serparted. On the damn sheet they name you fill out every year, it clearly says I lobe with both my parents in the SAME household.

O_o

lol! That's an awesome wrong phone number call!

Uhh, the best one I can think of it when me and my friend were watching TV and the characters were like, "Do you think he'll call?" "I don't know!" and all of the sudden their phone rang and so did mine. xD

That would scare me...

Uhm, I've never got a phone call like that, but this did happen one time.

Some person from a bank called and asked for my brother, and I said that he wasn't around. So they asked me if I was his spouse, and I told them that I was his little sister, and then they asked where his spouse was and I was like.... O_o;

The reason for this is because, I'm almost certain that my brother is gay, but still in the closet, and he's been single since fourth grade, and he's twenty three now, and it confused me.

I almost told them that he didn't have a spouse, but I eventually said that I didn't know where either of them were.

XD Omg, awkward. I remember answering the phone once

• Yes, hello?
• Hey my love, did you miss me? silence
• Uh...I think you got the wrong phone number

The guy was like "Ohh...Sorry...." XD

It's not that much of a deal but poor him, I mean, I guess I must have the same voice or so and...ahhh, it's sad for him. I imagine this happening to me, shameful, with the phone in hand. Awnn.

They felt bad for pulling me out of class by accident.

I got a creepy phone call once from some guy who I SWEAR sounded like some creepy pedophile on a TV drama. He spoke in a really dull, drawling voice, and it was already freaky enough when he said "Hello" to me:

Me: Hello?

Guy: Hello...

Me: ...

Guy: ...I'm looking for a girl who may be named (my full name) and may be between the ages of 7 and 11...Does she live in this household?

Me: One moment please...

I was too freaked out to talk to him any more than that, so I gave my mom the phone. The guy quickly hung up on my mom, and we never heard from him again. I swear, though, I still wonder what that was all about..

Besides that, though, every month or so we have these people who call and leave very lengthy messages on our answering machine, all spoken in Spanish. It's pretty funny, because none of us know how to speak Spanish. xD And when we answer the phone and it's them, we don't know how to end our 'conversation' because usually neither side knows how to speak the other's language. XD

I had a different phone number in china (obviously) and used to get random chinese people yelling at me all hours of the day. It got to the point that I just turned it off during the night and the rest of the time had it on soundless :x I also got texts in chinese, haha. I had them translated. They were all angry texts too ;-;

Oh wow. My reaction to seeing this topic title was "Holy shit, you're WHAT?" Then I read your bolded notice and was like "Ohhhh."

There was once a nurse who called our house asking for a guy whose last name really was Smith. Something about test results. She persisted even after my dad told her that no, there is no one here with the last name Smith!

Thats awesome!

Wow, I belt she felt embarrassed. xD

I've never gotten any strange phone calls, but then again I'm 14, so I still might in the future. :P

i was once called about an apartment. at first i was all ohhh, apartment, nifty! but then the guy started saying names and i was like, lol that's not me and he then apologized and hung up. i was a little confused, too, 'cause he was from wayyy out the west coast and i'm wayyyy at the east lol.

silly, silly.

Hehe, nice call... Here's one from the person calling the wrong number. Twice.

Okay. My sister Whee is married to Matt. Matt has a distinct voice. Whee has a cell phone. I call it and hear this really thick accented guy saying "This is Bahb Jahnsan" ( Ya I live in Wisconsin dere hey. Northern like dat an all ) It sounded like Matt, and I thought, oh haha, Whee must have asked him to use his voice for her message so that creepy people are thrown off."Hehe," I think, "this ought to be funny." and proceed to leave a mimicking message in my heavier than usual accent saying Hey Bob Johnson, I need to talk to Mrs. Bob Johnson when you get a chance ya know dere. Ya so I'll see you later."

Thing is, Whee never called me. So a few days later I left a message again. half an hour later.... Bob Johnson calls me back going "WHO in the world IS this ?!"

Bob Johnson != Matt. Tartie is now sitting here open mouth laughing for her screwup... and Bob Johnson thought it was the funniest message he'd ever gotten.... I then called up my parents only to find out Whee had gotten a new number a while ago and never told me. Much hilarity ensued as I told my tale to them once this was all sorted out.

rofl, this is right below your "Hello, Mr Penis" topic xDDD anyway, if i got a call like that i'd probably freak out and believe them even though i wouldn't have gone to the clinic o-o i'm slow like that

I would've been freaking out XD Probably would've started crying :P

I remember back when I first changed my number, I kept getting these texts from some business man who kept yammering about golf. I kept telling him he had the wrong number, but I still kept getting the texts.

One text he sent me was: Alright, give me your bank number and I'll transfer the (enter huge $$$ amount here) into your account.

So I sent back: For the last time, I'm not the guy you're looking for. HOWEVER I am very willing to accept that money 8D

About a week later, I get another text. I sent him--for the 478309850th time--

'I'm sorry, man. You have the wrong number' Keep in mind, I wasn't being sarcastic or anything. Yet I end up with this:

'You're probably just some little teenage shit who keeps trying to impersonate my friend! Go to heel!' Note he spelled 'Hell' wrong. That's when I lost my temper: 'Nowhere in any of my texts did I impersonate your friend. Maybe if you'd have been paying attention instead of having your empty head down your fucking plaid knickers, you'd have realized that. Something tells me you've had one golf club over the head too many, my friend. And check your spelling next time. I highly doubt I'm able to go to 'heel'.'

Never heard from him again XD
