:lol i hate when i get calls like that. i especially hate it when i get out of state and even out of country calls...as soon as i tell them i'm in alaska they want to chat like we're best friends.
Last night:
me- "Hello?"
her- "I'll be over in 5 minutes"
me- "What?"
her- "I'm getting dressed I'll be over in a few"
me- "Er.. ok sure... Who is this?"
her- "Kelly silly, I'll be there in a few"
me- "Umm..ok"
*click*
She never showed up. :/.... :lol
I also had a friend who up until a few years ago she'd literally get 10-15 calls per day from people trying to order a pizza. Her number was one digit off from a local Dominoes. It was annoying as hell for a long time explaining to people that they had the wrong number 'till she actually started taking the orders... Then it was a daily comedy routine of her taking orders and picturing people arriving at the Dominoes and starting fights about their lost orders. :lol She eventually changed her number.
On a side note, I especially love when I get spanish telemarketer calls (Spanish last name, so I'm guessing they just look it up in the phonebook and go down the line heh) and they ask in spanish to speak to someone and I reply back in spanish that I don't speak spanish.... Then they'd say something else and I'd reply Que? Que?! until they hang up. :lol

A couple years ago, when I'd moved back into my dorm from summer vacation I was woken up with this call...
Him: "Is this the naughty place?"
Me: "... ...huh?"
Him: "Is this the naughty place?"
Me: "Um...no..."
Him: *click*
Weeks later I learned there was a store in the area called the Knotty Shop that sold things made from tree knots

I swear I got a call once from a Russian pimp looking for his girls, whom he seemed to think were with me. He was pretty damned skeptical when I said I had no idea what he was talking about. It was shady.
Apparently my number is somewhat close to a waste management company in central New Jersey. I get calls from people looking for them once in a while.
Also, some lady from Jammer Doors has been calling me for 2.5 years thinking that I'm the accounting department of some firm and she needs my invoice. I've spoken to her several times and she gets my voicemail frequently (which says it's a personal cell phone) and yet still, every couple months I start getting calls about an invoice. Stupid people.

Last year, my phone number was identical to that of the Louisville Hilton hotel, but with a different area code. One day, I got a call asking me if this was the Louisville Hilton and I was outrageously confused. Googled the number and sure enough they were identical with simply one number different in the area code. I also wanted someone else to call so I could pretend to be the hotel, or at least be able to point them in the right direction, but alas.
When I was growing up, a friend of mine has a phone number insanely similar. Ours was 1920, and theirs was 9120. Thus, we would get a whole shitload of calls for these people, and since we knew them quite well, it made things all that more interesting. Hilariously, this summer a guy I went to school with who used to be good friends with my friend called my house looking for him. I knew exactly who it was, but didn't want to get on his case so I just treated it like a normal old wrong number...it was the first in a long time.
