The number you have reached...
I swear, this must be national dial the wrong number day! In the last hour I've had two messages on voice mail -- one for John that his welding was ready, and one for Rita about her doctor's appointment. I should have picked up just to screw with 'em!







You too Robyn...I have been getting them today too...some medical company called me...and the mechanic that does our car has been calling too...no idea..

My welding doctor appointment is ready?

Yes Todd, it is. So, what time are you going to get welded?

what gets me is that they have to listen to the voicemail message to leave a message. Ours says something like, "Hi, this is Jason and Holly. We can't take your call, but please leave a message." We still get messages that say, "Mrs. Hanners, your hearing aid needs to be checked, OR Shaneka is scheduled for an appointement on Thursday at 4." AUGH!!

Ironically, after posting this I had TWO MORE CALLS! So I said "that's it" and called GTE to add the new Call Intercept feature to our Caller ID. If the number shows up as blocked, private, or out of area -- they have to leave a little voice mail saying who they are and why they are calling before it will even ring on our end -- and we then have a choice of accepting or denying the call based on their voice mail without them even reaching us yet. But since Todd's name is on our bill, stupid GTE wouldn't let me add on the service just now! I could change our phone number, move it from one county to another, and set up DSL here back in June -- but now all of a sudden they need Todd's voice for a Caller ID add-on and he's at work. Flem-flam-flargin' stupid phone company!

My parents used to get wrong numbers for a tanning salon in town. My parents last 4 digits was 4000, the tanning salon was 4001. People just got carried away dialing 0's they got my parents. Well one day my mom got so tired of saying this wasn't the tanning salon that she made an appointment for the next person who called!

You know, call the phone company back, tell them that you ARE Todd, and DARE them to question you. Tell them you are on hormone therapy or something. Or just "what do you mean I sound like a woman? Let me talk to your supervisor!" That should get them good!

I hate wrong number calls - I get so many at work. Our 800 number is similar to the Continental airlines, and so we get TONS of people in hard to understand accents who call and want me to tell them where their freight is. I've had several where they want to find out where their pets are. I'm tempted to tell them that they'll need to buy some dog collars before I'll tell them (we make pet products!!) :giggle:
And ROTFL, Christine!
