so i just had the following call..

me - IT Neil speaking..

them - oh hello i wonder if you could call me on 01blah blah..

me - err, hello?

them - (at this point it seems they think the answerphone is talking to them) hello, can you hear me, im trying to leave a message, when someone gets this can they call me back?

me - umm, can i help you with something?

them - im looking for help with my high end audio system.

me - im sorry i think you've called the wrong number..

them - im looking for help with my audio system. who are you?

me - youve called an internal IT department for a retail company.

them - could you help me with my IT products?

me - err, no.. we only deal with internal company issues im afraid.

them - so you cant help me with my internet connection?

me - sorry no, i think you have called the wrong number..

them - yes it seems so, sorry, goodbye.

im not sure who was more confused by the end of the conversation.. :lol:
 
LOL, you tight barsteward :lol::lol:

A couple of years ago ,got a call from Newcastle Airport wanting me to fix there broken aircraft :thinking:

Told them wrong number,he then asked me if I had the number for the mechanic at Blackpool Airport which really threw me..........:lol::lol:
 
you're lucky

all i get is calls from a Miss Sadie who wants to know when she can come round to 'tie me up''

which of you [with whom i traded] gave out my phone number...?
 
More interesting than mine. I keep getting people ringing up looking for Safestyle or a taxi... latter is infuriating as you get some drunk b****r ringing up at all hours.

Have also had a few from someone ringing their mum. Often to say they've missed the bus and what should they do?! Like dur, get the next one.

I used to get that at my old place - i'd just say " certainly sir just wait there one of our cars will be with you in about 10 minuites" then unplug the phone and go back to bed

fifteen minuites later i'll be fast asleep, and mr drunk ****witt will still be freezing his nads off in the rain waiting for his non existant taxi ;)

I have been very tempted! It's just easier to set the phone not to ring at night... useful feature on panasonic dect phones :)
 
I've had the same wee wummin calling and leaving messages on my answerphone for about 10 years. Most calls are along the lines of "Hello Jeanie, it's me just to let you know Annie's dead", or " I'm at the station, can you pick me up" followed by "I've been standing here for 2 hours, where are you?" :lol:

I've been thinking about this. You can programme the phone to allow selected numbers to get through AFAIK?
 
I don't know for sure. I've not noticed that option on mine but it is a few years old now.

Thanks. I seem to remember something about a night mode that you can programme with times and authorised numbers, but I'm not 100% sure about this. I'll check it out.
 
I once had a very irate man rant and rave at me because I hadn't delivered 30 bags of cement that morning and wouldn't believe when I told him he was calling a teacher training college's AV department.
 
I generally get people ringing me at 7.30am on Saturday mornings up wanting an appointment to see the doctor. They're clearly suffering with a disease that makes them incapable of reading a telephone number.

(I've just checked and the local health centre has the same phone number aside from one digit, where a 4 is replaced by a 2).

I get very similar texts & voice messages like that & despite ringing the ladys number & telling her she has been leaving me messages & not who there intended for , she still texts her friend Margo letting her know she has had a good holiday , or she has had her results back :lol::lol:
 
I got one about 10pm , an elderly lady said , is that you tommy

I said she'd got the wrong number so she apologised and hung up

2 mins later it rings again, is that you tommy, so I told her she'd dialed the wrong number again

2 mins later it rings again, is that you tommy

This time I asked her why she keeps ringing the same number

She said because that's what's written on this piece of paper

So I told her it's wrong and it doesn't matter how many times she rings it tommy isn't going to answer it

She must have got the message then
 
Had one like that a while ago ^

Elderley bloke rings and asks for someone I didnt know. So I told him he had the wrong number. 30 seconds later he rings back, so I told him the same thing. He called back three more times, each time I told him he was dialling the wrong number. The last time I asked him what number he wanted, and then phoned it myself to tell them he was trying to call them. Turns out they didnt know him either!
