So it's 3 am, I am in bed asleep, dreaming whatever. Suddenly I hear this noise, and I wake up. I figured it was part of my dream and it sounded like the phone. I hear it again and it dawns on me someone is calling. I get up, my first thought is not "Oh it's my brother, he had an accident and needs help." No. It's "Oh F'ing great, some asno mudo girl I know is calling me at 3 am."

I get to it after the 3rd ring, already my stepdad is talking and I grab the phone in the other room and, faking like I am asleep, answer "Hello?" and the girl, has to be a stupid F'ing asno mudo blonde, goes "Hi. Someone called my cell phone before from this number."

"Um...no, we are all kind of in bed, since it's THREE AM. No one called. When did they call you?"

"Oh, I don't know. Who is this?"

"Well, we are all asleep. Who are you?"

"My name is Ashely."

"Well I don't know anyone named Ashley so obviously you called the wrong number."

"Oh, ok."

She hangs up. No "Sorry for waking you" or anything. Girl couldn't be older than 19. I went and looked at the caller ID and stared at it for 2 minutes, trying to process if I knew the number. No f'ing idea. I get up this morning, walk into the living room and said "I DID NOT know who was on that phone last night, I don't know anyone named Ashley."

I still have the cell phone number though. Anyone bored?

I'm bored...post and lets all call it

"Hi, someone called my friends phone at 3am from this number. Did I wake you? Oh, hey...are you hot?"

867-5309

Her name is Ashley.


[edit - dont do that. its not nice. and I dont care if she woke you up]

Can they PM me and I give it to them?

MMk I won't pass it out. On this forum at least.

Well, you sure are an *******.

I am only posting about it cause someone is calling me at 3 am. If they called me at 3 pm with the wrong number fine. I'd be just as pissed if it was a stupid guy calling me at 3 am.

Anyone ever get those calls like "Hey is Amanda there?" and you're like "Yeah but she's busy." and you know it's the boyfriend? I haven't. Yet.

Actually quite often, my number often gets mistaken for someone named Connor. I typically go with the "He's dead" line or just hang up. Quite annoying especially if the call late at night.

Back at my old house, I had a telephone # that was similar to a Domino's Pizza AND a Blockbuster Video. I would take fake pizza orders all the time when they called, and when they called for Blockbuster I'd say we always had what they wanted. When Mortal Kombat first came out, this junior high kid called at like 11 pm the night before school started and my brother said "Yeah we have 1 copy left, we can hold it for you" and he said he was on his way.

My phone number is similar to a taxi number. Sometimes we get drunk people phoning us for a taxi.

makes me think of Survivor, although that takes it a little too far.

You guys rock.

Explain, please.

Someone always calls looking for Larse or Lamar or something like that. We were nice to the person the first 50 times they called, but once you get the number wrong at least twice a month, it's gone too far. So now I say "Oh... oh I'm sorry. You didn't hear, did you? He passed away about a month ago... I'm so sorry for your loss. How did you know him?" Since we've done this a couple times, they just hang up after that, now. The first time, I wasn't there, they started crying or something and telling some detailed story about his life to my dad.

Yeah, my family is miniacle, what can we say?

My phone number is the same as a local auto repair shop, only with 2 digits flipped... so we get a lot of calls asking about people's cars. We always tell them that we had to replace the engine and the transmission and it's going to cost them about $4,000. After they get all flustered we tell them that they have the wrong number.

Whenever telemarketers call, they seem to pronounce our last name (Buchanan) wrong. So that's a good way of filtering them out. Usually we're pretty polite, but today I had to answer the phone around noon (it woke me up; I had been partying until about 8 in the morning), and it was someone asking it "Mr. Boo-shannan" was there... I just said "no" and hung up. It was great. In fact, it was so much fun that I'm never going to be polite to a telemarketer again...

you know, the whole part of the book that involves some suicide hotline accidentally printing ads that featured the main characters phone number, and he spends his time putting peoples lives in his hands, deciding if they live or die.

I don't think THRAWN has read Survivor, or else he would have understood your joke.

Some damn girl keeps calling for "Natalie".

Blah.

Man the most infuriating is that most telemarketers are in like India or something. I've had so many people call me and I literally couldn't understand a word they said becuase they have such a thick accent. Yeah, thats really good marketing. I'm sure they will get alot of sales.

holy crap!!! Ashley?!?!? Um.. if you don't mind me asking.... where are you? Cuz i had a girl named ashley call me randomly while i was in my dorm off and on for a few months. She always wispered cuz she's an insomniac and doesn't want to wake her bf. That's a really weird coincidence.

as much as of a rant this is... if thats the worst thats happened to you when you have to post a 'rant' i think you should wait til something crappier happens...

secondly on firsthand experience with girls and secondhand (From my sister's friends) there all somewhat 'flakes' as it were and are more inconsistent then possibly anything in exsistence... (disclaimer: exceptions exist) (disclaimer 2: rarely)

i think that should be the real issue since all these other people like these stray calls and mess with the people that call

Well, Ashely is a fairly common name. I wouldn't say it was an inconceivably mind-blowing coincidence or anything.

I've had what sounded like a stoned Latino guy call my cell phone twice on two seperate nights. Both calls were usually around 1 am. And it was the same guy.... I don't get alot of calls to my cell so the prior call from him was still listed.

We also had no less than FIVE collect calls from the county jail recently on seperate occassions. All from an inmate. He continually misdialed the wrong number. Freaking idiot. We paid for the first two, after that, everytime he called we just told him he dialed the wrong number, called him an idiot, and hung up without accepting the charges. I love how the party calling collect can hear all of that without us having to accept the call.

never_again, would you prefer one of my "My mom sucks" rants?

Maybe he'll get out of jail and axe murder your family.

What's "asno mudo" mean? Do I not want to know?

Our number is very similar to a nearby restaurant. Every now and again our house would get a call. whenever I answered I would book tables for them and make up stupid menu items.

ive had some guy claiming he was from the US Dept. of Grants, and they have selected me for a free $5,000 grant, he can barely speak english so i think he's just looking for telemarketing info. The last time he called i put my cell on speaker phone, set up my mic, and opened up the arnold sound board...

Whenever my friends get together they like to call me at all hours in the morning. Freaking repeatedly. I keep a whistle beside my bed next to my phone now, works really well. Plus my parents can't hear it cause they're on the other side of the house.

I'll admit though, they are pretty good at prank calls. One of them called a number at 3 in the morning that was basically ***-1719. When they picked up, he said "Hey, I was just looking up and calling important dates in my history book. Hows it going? Best part is instead of hanging up immediately, they were confused enough to talk to him for a minute or two. Then after they figured out what was going on, he got cussed good and the phone slammed down in his ear. He's called them about 5 times in the past 2 months, I'm just waiting for him to get caught.

Another fun thing to do to telemarketers/prank callers/wrong numbers is to get two phones and put them in the "69" position (so it creates really loud feedback), and then insist that the noise is coming from their end.

I did a check on an online translator for dumbass.

Ah, I put it in freetranslation.com's Spanish->English translator and it told me it meant "mute mule."

You're such a delightful human being on these forums. Why don't you go do something good. Like kill yourself.

Fair enough, I don't blame you for being annoyed by that comment, but I must say when I first read it I found it funny.
