my old phone number was one digit from the phone-in number for the North-Easts most popular radio show after 10pm (Alan Robson for those who are wondering).

The radio show goes on till like 2am or something and a lot of it is people phoning up for advice on difficult situations. At first it was a novelty because you would hear some funny stuff as people would jsut immediatley blurt out thier problems when the phone was picked up (as they thought they were on the radio). However, it quickly got tiresome when this one couple kept on ringing back up purposefully harassing us as they knew it wasnt the right number after the first try, and thought it was funny to harass us until stupid hours of the morning (i would've usually just unplugged the phone but i had a relative in hospital that i was waiting for an update on).

It wasnt till a week later that i overheard a guy in my local telling his mate how hilarious it was that he and his wife were phoning "some poor moron" over and over. He promtly left the pub red-faced (and never returned) when i told his mate who i was and that one the first phone call, his wife asked for advice about what to do when she found out that her husband turned out to be her long-lost brother.

i regret not breaking his nose as well.

I know its an annoying and you shouldn't have to do it but perhaps get your number changed, I got mine done for free because I use to get lots of calls for a builders merchant and it was similar number to my own.

"Hello is that Morrisons?"

"Yes it is, now get f****d."

My aunts number is 1 digit off the local chinese - it's fun at first but when X factor was on she was being driven demented.

When I lived with my mum and dad and took these calls most people were apologetic and polite when I told them. Apart from one pompous ignoramus who insisted that he had called the correct number and that I should "serve him immediately" or else he would make a complaint about me to my bosses. So I took his booking.:eek::D

I tapped away at my keyboard pretending to enter his personal and card details and gave him a confirmation number.:D Never knew if he made it across or not.

Last year in the shop I used to work in:

*ring ring* Me: Hello, suited aces' shop, suited aces speaking
woman:Hello, is that the police station?
me:Sorry, you've got the wrong number
*Woman hung up*

*ring ring* me:Hello, suited aces' shop, suited aces speaking
her: Is that the police station?
me:Sorry, you've got the wrong number
her: I really don't think I have
me:I can assure you this is (shop), on (number)
Woman hangs up

*ring ring*me: Hello, suited aces' shop, suited aces speaking
Hello, is that the police station?
me:Sorry, you've got the wrong number
her: For ***** sake I have not got the wrong number, I am definitely phoning the ****** police station. If you intercept my call one more time, I'm going to tell the police. I demand to speak to your manager
me: She's not here at the minute, and I'm the supervisor, but I can assure you no phone calls are being intercepted
her: Yes they ****** are, and I'm reporting you to the police for it
me:Hope you're not planning to do it via phone *hangs up*

I checked that night, best part was, the phone numbers were completely different!
