May I take a message?


Ok, get this, the phone rings, I answer it.
Hello!
Hi, Mrs Bennett?
No, I'm sorry you must have the wrong number.
This isn't the Bennett house?
No, it isn't
Who is it?
You dialed, 516-(the rest of the number)
But this isn't the Bennets?
No sir, it isn't
Then who am I talking to?
The person at the house you mistakenly dialed.
Uh, I'm supposed to go over to the Bennett house today and I just need your address.
I said, Sir, this isn't the Bennett address. I'm sorry, but if you double check the phone number you were supposed to dial you will probably see your mistake
No, no, this is the number I was supposed to call. Is Mrs Bennett available?
There is nobody by that name residing at this address, sir.
What address is that again?
I didn't say the address, sir
Well, what is it?
Is this one of those phone scams? Are you calling from a radio station or something?
What? Huh, oh, no...
Well, then sir, our time on the phone has come to an end. Have a lovely day and I hope you are able to find the Bennetts. Goodbye. I hang up.
HE CALLS BACK.....
Hello
Mrs Bennett?
No, I am sorry you have the wrong number again.
Oh, well is Mrs Bennett there?
Nobody by that name lives at this address or phone number.
silence...then...Are you sure?
AUGH.....Yes sir. Have a lovely day.
Yes, what a lovely way to start the morning.

He was driving me crasy....I think he was a total nug job. If he was just told that this wasn't the Bennett's then why the hell did he need my address...something was kinda smelly.

Hey, sorry to hear you have been having a bad week.
I hope things will be better tomorrow. Surely you're due for something good, huh?
Maybe I should tell you a story to cheer you up.

Once upon a time there was this thing that lived under the bed.(just kidding. Heehee)

Hope things start looking up.

I hate phone calls like that. What a weirdo.

Hey Kip, Thanks! I wish I could say that today got better....but I had a long IM convo with a friend and it got us no where and just managed to push me in a direction I wasn't wanting it to go...and I am quite sad about. Blah. it could always be worse. Always...I suppose.

Cindy, I know...right...it was strange.

Yes Katie, I know you do. Chris loves them a little less.

I think it might have been a prank call...I have done something like that before...I got hung up on waay before you hung up on him...lol

Since you have to dial 9 on my home phone to call an outside number, I get a lot of people who dial wrong numbers...last night a girl asked for Papa John's.
