Poor Phone Interaction for the Day
Get a call on my cell. Not a number I recognize but it is within the area code so I answer.
Me: Hello?
Him: <mumble mumble mumble>
Me: I'm sorry?
Him: Something Audi of Oakland
Me: Audi of Oakland? Ok...how can I help you?
Him: <noting the confusion in my voice> Have I reached the right person?
Me: How would I know, you dialed the phone. Who are you hoping to reach?
Him: Do you own an Audi Hydramonster Jimmidybobber?
Me: No, what number were you trying?
Him: <a string of numbers that has nothing in common with my phone other than the area code>
Really, I remain amazed by the number of people who, then the phone is answered by an unexpected person, simply demand to know who has answered.
Reminds me of when I was a kid, I had a friend who whenever he called and someone other than me answered the phone would start by saying "Who's this?" My mom, after the first time she told him that's not how it worked, just hung up on him after that.
