Make it stop!

- you know you could really have funn with that....

how bout this one...our home phone number is one that Basmati's used to have. We get reservations made on our answering machine all the time. I do take the time to call the people back and give them the correct phone number. hey, you know, Basmati's owes me dinner for "making reservations" for them for the last 7 years...

Good for you, IBD! .

Funn. My phone number is one number off from Dominoes. It's not a huge problem until the drunks realize they haven't gotten the pizza they ordered 4 hours ago.

It lasted 1 hour. Apparently they weren't getting the money direct deposited into their accounts. One guy wanted to argue with me that I was in fact Chrysler Benefits. I finally told him no more checks since we were going bankrupt. He told me I couldn't do that. I told him I wasn't Chrysler Benefits either, but since he was sure I was I decided I was going bankrupt. He didn't think it was as funny as I did. I guess this was all karma from when I had a phone number 1 off from Budget Rental.

OMG, That's hilarious. Thanks so much Hop. I love to wake up to a great laugh. You are the king!!!!

Hope you've recovered from all the extra phone calls. Funny post. Maybe you can use if they haven't fixed the problem.

HOP, that is the funniest, the best!!! SWGB you have to use this!!!

Loved that! Thanks for the funny!

I think I'm going to copy that and tape it to my fridge...I'd love to pull that on somebody calling me at 9 pm. Terrific!

Hop, that's one of the funniest things I ever heard! LOVE it! I am so going to steal that and use it on a telemarketer.

SWGB, you really should try this, and let us know how it works.

I'd love to use it, but they are looking for Chrysler Benefit Services. I don't think that could be a murder victim. My all time favorite was a friend that pretended like he was in the execution chamber and kept asking the woman if she was the governer and should they stay the execution. I think she finally asked what the crime was and he said murder. She said fry his ass.

We get calls quite often from people wanting Party City. Their phone number is 385-1333 and ours ends in 1313. I could have some fun with that one but I haven't.

My entertaining hubby's last name is Money, he named his sons Owen and Dylan (really). Hubby's phone is listed as Owen Money, and when a solicitor asks for Owen....that's his que......"can I put you on hold a moment while I get Owen?"..................................................................................................

I promised no more cat stories, but obviously I'm not right in the head this week.

When I lived in Nashville, I lived alone and only stuck-up pretentious people had cell phones. I didn't want to list my given name in the phone book because it just screamed "Single Woman at this address! Come kill me!" So I listed it under my cat's name. (We had the same last name.) That way, if people asked where to find my number, I could tell them to look under Benzo K_____ on Blair Blvd.

The added benefit was that this was the advent of telemarketing, and I often got callers who asked to speak to Mr. Benzo K_____. If he was available, I would let them speak to him for as long as Benzo seemed safely interested in the phone. (He was pretty violent, and sometimes I had to take the phone away before he ate it.) Otherwise I told them that he would gladly call back when he was off the litter box, finished sleeping in the closet or not engaged in eating a small, raw animal.

Before I cut my land line here, I got lots of calls asking to speak to Mr. or Mrs. K______. Those were my favorite because I could truthfully say that there was no one in this household who answers to those names!
