So I get this phone call that starts with the ever popular and ever rude "who am I talking to". Um, you called me?!?! Which was then followed up by the accusitory "why do you have my number?". "I didn't call you" I answer (I can't only imagine she's trying to call someone back who has left a number. To which she replies "I lost my phone recently *mumble something confusing* what number is this?" "You dialed, tell me what number you think it is" "970..." "You haven't even got the right area code" I answer. Idiot.

Aaargh! Now she's got her boyfriend calling me over and over and accusing me of stealing her phone!!!! I hate stupid people!

Edit: The asshattery continues...

As it turns out, girl wonder has somehow gotten her phone number forwarded to mine. And because she is with Rogers, Fido can't do anything to turn it off. Um, aren't they the same company???? So now I have to waste valuable minutes getting this asshattery reversed because of course I don't have a home phone number.

Now I'm getting calls from somewhere the boyfriend of this chick has applied to trying to hire him (really, who gives out their GF's cell number on a resume?) I assume he's applied to Stitches or Le Chateau, since no real business would have been blaring their bad music in the background like they were when the "recruiter" called. I tried to get the last name of this Jordan dude so I could phone him and tell him to turn off the call forwarding, but she "wouldn't feel comfortable giving out that information". Dude, this jackass is costing me minutes and he effectively gave you MY phone number, I just want a name!

I hate people.

If it was a persistant problem, I would have a stock answer "I'm sorry, the number you have is not an electronics store, but a private residence" and hang up. I wouldn't try to patiently explain I don't think. The only reason I bothered with this cell thing is that I had the suspicion something was actually wrong, and due to the idiot forwarding game, it was.

I seem to get more wrong number calls than actual calls meant for me it seems. This was just a particularly bad day for it.
