Last week a woman rang our house one morning and asked to speak to Liz, now no one of that name lives here so I told her she had the wrong number and hung up. A few moments later she rang back again, 'Oh hello can I speak to Liz please'. So I pointed out once again she had the wrong number and had just phoned up a few moments before.
She wouldn't have it though and asked me if she was through to the social security offices or something like that. I said she'd rung my house, not the social security offices.
She sounded bemused and read out the number she'd intended to ring and its similar to ours but with one didgit different. I pointed this out to her, she apoligised and hung up. Then a few moments later she rang back again, this time I didn't answer because I regoginsed the number on the screen. I think I'd have shouted at her if I'd answered it.
This morning im sat in the living room and guess what she rings again. 'Hello can I speak to Liz at Social Security'. Me throuhg gritted teeth, 'sorry you've got the wrong number, and you rang here last asking the same thing week having miss dialied.'. She was flustered and hung up on me, before ringing back yet again:mad: This time I ignored it.
She's really pissing me off now. Why the hell can't she dial more carefully?! Has this ever happened to anyone else?

I'd just ignore them....rather than get pissed off.
Tell her to either to learn how to use a phone or give up and write a letter instead.
The ham-fisted bun-vendor!
They were like 'but this is the number for so-and-so'
I said 'yes, that is the number you have dialled, but no one here has that name, so you must have been given the number wrong.
So they rang off, and a few minutes later called back, she just couldnt understand that she had the wrong number written down.
everytime i explained and she said 'ok i understand' but clearly she didnt.
she rang back about 4 times before she finally got the message!
It was so annoying! if I hadnt been at work I would have got very cross!
This woman rand and said "Can I speak to Ralph please?"
I replied that she had the wrong number and put the phone down.
She kept ringing back for the next hour or so, I feel your pain OP.
Ours is one figure off the local kennels and cattery. I've been tempted to start my own business
Yes, this is Liz - now **** off, I hate you, don't call me again!!!
Our number is very similar to B&Q's - some people call up and ask about ponds, paint, fencing etc etc. I them to sling their hook and they want the manager to complain so I just hang up. They never call back then!
... or say, " hold on, I'll just fetch her " and then leave the phone hanging for twenty minutes.

I gather the couple have been getting sixty calls a day for about four weeks now.
If you want to get the ultimate revenge, say "Okay, I'll just go get her" and then just leave them waiting on the line and go watch TV. You could even play some droney music like those companies do when they put you on hold.
EDIT: Or ask what her favourite scary movie is
Thats a shame. Bu there is a simple way would it you get a new number. Its a pain, but not as much as 60 calls a day.
EDIT: Oh he cant.
I once had a bloke dialling from the job centre to my mobile. You hardly ever get wrong numbers on your mobile. Would he believe me? Nope. And he got quite nasty. In the end, I told him he hadn't got the job.
He should turn that to his advantage, sample the bit of the phone number that is his and use it as an advert for his company.
There, he got Soulja Boy to rap him an advert for free!
Thanks.
Nah its not a joke. The woman always seems quite flustered and annoyed when I tell her she's got the wrong number.
Thats a good idea!!!:D
Maybe I should tell her we're cancelling her benefits immdediatly?:D
