[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Got a weird call earlier

Posted: 7/24/2014 7:11:25 PM EDT

*ring ring*

Me: "Hello?"

random dude: "Hi my name's Josh, I'm responding to your Craigslist ad(I'm not selling anything on CL), do you have the tickets still?"(I have nothing to sell let alone tickets.)

Me: "Sorry you have the wrong number" (click)

Probably a legitimate wrong number, Deej.

Yeah, I know other people with my exchange so I'm guessing that's it.

Sit near the window and look through the blinds periodically for the next few days.

Had the caller propositioned you for some dry leg humping then THAT would have been a weird call. Your story not so much.

Deej are you selling your tickets to Country Thunder again?

You should have invited him over to see your model train set and offered imitation crab meat.

Ticketmaster bought up a certain number in pretty much every area code except one of my coworkers, so he would constantly get calls about people wanting tickets. His voice mail even said I have no tickets and people would leave voice mail about tickets, sometimes including credit card numbers. After numerous complaints work got him a new number, but it sure was amusing while it lasted.

Pre-swat raid tactics 101. You always call to make sure the perp is inside the house by pretending to be interested in a craigslist ad.

Hide your dog in the basement until further notice.

So are you selling those fucking tickets or not? Stop sending mixed messages. I'm gonna call again just to double check.

We have a number that's close enough to our county extension office's number that we get their calls on occasion. Usually it's around planting season and Betty wants to know how to plant tulips.

I get calls from young black girls all the time because apparently there is a playa' in town, with a number one or two digits off of mine.

*ring-ring*

"Gruff 'hello?'l

"Heeeeeey baby, whatchoo doin'?"

Once or twice a week I get these calls, and they're always different women.

I wonder if they'd stop if I asked them what they were wearing? Or do I really want to know?

Hmmm... Interesting.

Here, the wrong number calls are always in Spanish. I never have any idea what their gibberish means.

we used to get calls all the time from an ethnic gentleman wanting to speak with Shaniqua.
the wife told him he had the wrong #, and Shaniqua wasn't there.
he would call again a few weeks later, same thing.

finally, he said, "really, shaniqua's not there"?

the wife said "does it sound like anybody named Shaniqua would be here"?

he hung up, never called again.

I got lucky, the Spring Grove/Richmond/Mchenry/Johnsburg Saturday driver is back from injury, so I get my route back in the land of hot milf joggers

This weekend is the one time I don't want a rural route out that way.

Somebody had a CL ad up trying to rent a trailer house about 50 miles away from anchorage in wasilla... They accidentally put my # on the ad.... So for about 3 months I got all kinds of phone calls trying to rent that trailer house... I finally located the owner because they also had a sign on the trailer and a caller gave me the other phone # that was listed on the sign... Talk about annoying

The callers probably only heard the word "tickets" so that reinforces their mentality that it's the right number.

The only sadder thing is when they try arguing over it, as if by arguing you'll suddenly become the person they were trying to call.
