I should be ashamed of myself!

My landline number used to belong to the local campsite and I get lots of calls for them. I explained to one woman that I was not the campsite and she should look on line for their new number, but she rang back twice more. In the end, I confess to being a bit firm with her (but it is not as easy in French!)

Oh I have someone who calls for the person who was obviously the 'owner' of our number at some time...soooo frustrating. Every empathy glass

I just couldnt help myself, thought it was DD calling from work then heard the voice, I had been in the middle of changing beds and my head was inside a duvet cover and had to run to answer the phone.

My mum and dad used to get loads of calls for someone called Mrs Joy until my dad finally snapped and shouted I am not Mrs Joy I am Mr Bloody Furious

glass I know the feeling. The previous owners of this house took their phone number with them, so we were allocated one that had belonged to someone in Melrose Court or somewhere – not this address anyway. I am so fed up with phone calls for that man and his wife during the last three and a bit years since we moved in. I even have people disbelieving me when I tell them that he/she doesn't live here or that no, I am not Mrs L. I think GO TO HELL was certainly justified in the circumstances.
