what a total freak!

So before, I was listening to "Stiff upper Lip Geeves", just minding my own damn business, and I get this call:

me: hello?
idiot: You called my number.me (a bit confused) um, you have the wrong number sorry.
idiot: Your number came up, which means you called it.
me: Well, I may have got the wrong number sorry.
... click.
Got off the phone and thought "you rude idiot!" People get wrong numbers all the time; it's life; you can at least be a bit nice about it.
Then, as I was on the phone to b a bit later, I came to the realization, as I was relating the story to him, that i had called 9629 instead of 98692201 (to call RB at work), but upon realizing I had mixed the digits up, I'd hung up. normal thing to do; hello!
Now if I was doing prank calling, as i use to when I was a teen, I could understand his/her annoyance. and no I couldn't figure out, if the kinda deep, slightly foreign accent was male or female, but all I know is I'm glad I don't live next door to it.
what stupid people exist in this world
til next time, RdFreak

Yeah. I've done that and someone called me back and was like "learn to dial a phone..." Haven't people heard of honest mistakes?

yeh, this caller ID thing creates heaps of problems. I mean, at work for instance, the company's number use to be private, but then they had to get that changed, but now it means that if anyone calls out, the switchboard number is displayed, and the amount of calls we get from curious little people saying "you called me" then we have to calmly explain that we are not sure who did call; it could be anybody but our number shows up.
