Wrong number

[valis2]

My cell phone just rang. I picked it up and said "Hello?"

A guy on the other end said in a very cranky voice..."What're you doin'?!" in the tone you generally reserve for people who are supposed to be meeting you but are very very late.

"Uh..."

Pause. "Is this Wendy?"

"No."

"Oh, sorry, I have the wrong number."

Poor Wendy. She's probably online too.

Sounds similar to something my husband does. Our phone number and the phone number of a Chinese restaurant are similar. After so many calls at inconvenient times, my husband just started accepting orders... :)

Ha! Bet they're sad when their Woo Dip Harr never shows...

I used to date a guy whose phone number used to be the phone number to a volunteer fire station. Now those were some difficult calls, and at all times of the day and night. Some people don't bother to update their emergency numbers.

That certainly doesn't sound like a very good situation for the former boyfriend (or for you when visiting him!)... and, of course, changing phone numbers is *much* easier said than done.
