She hung up.

Have you had a weird phone call recently?

My phone# is one digit away from the local transit authority's phone#, Which means I normally get call's everyday from mostly weird & sometimes very pi$$ed off people... Of course I can't resist a good prank, Especially when the person is angry

Sounds to me like a collection agency is looking for someone.

Oooo - now that would be fun. Maybe you should start recording some of them and posting the good ones.

We just have the local loony , I think he's retarded or senile. He phones at least twice a day and either hangs up or admits he has the wrong number. I was going to phone him back and give him sh@t - but I realized he's not all there, so that would just be mean and no fun at all.

Sounds like a collection agency. Next time tell her that he skipped town on you and took fifty thousand of YOUR CASH with him and have her call you back when she finds him because you want it back...

Or give them the phone number and address of someone you don't like and tell them he's staying there.
