An actual phone call I just recieved

[Firebird]

Firebird: Hello, this is the XXXXX, Firebird speaking.

Caller: Hi, I think I have the wrong number. Is this the YYYYYY department?

Firebird: No, ma'am, this is the wrong number. Would you like me to look up the number for that department?

Caller: No. I got something in the mail from them, threw it away and I don't know what it was. What was it?

Firebird: I'm sorry ma'am, I don't know what came in your mail.

I'm devastated. :( All this time I thought you were psychic.

I once had a patient call to tell me her urine was yellow.

My sister, once called me at my Grandmother's house on Grannies land line. It isn't like we didn't know the number by heart. IT was YEARS before mobile technology. Cannon didn't even have his corded phone in his car yet!!

Her first question: Where are you?

After I stopped laughing, I countered with "YOU called ME. What number did you dial?"

Not so funny these days, with all the mobile technology. But in those days, THAT was Funny.

I get these calls all the time. "What did you mail me, I don't have it with me right now?"


Uhhhhhhhh........ I don't know?

considering the relative degrees of change that have occured to the retired persons technologic world, it is not surprising that they are often lost and distressed about it. the world is spinning much faster than it did even 30years ago when 8 tracks were in vogue and you dialed a phone and changing a needle meant your phonograph would play better, and a tube tester was a money maker at the local super market.

I mostly deal with older people with a ton of money and when they tell me these stories I tell them to stop dealing with people that don't care for them. Older Americans are the reason we still have regional cell phone and cable companies. I'm sure they'll go away in time, but the little regionals are filling the tech void for a generation lost.

Me: Um, I'm sorry, who is this?
Guy: I'm aksing YOU. Who IS dis?
Me: Um...I think you have the wrong number.
Guy: You called ME.
Me: I'm pretty sure I didn't. I haven't touched phone all day.
Guy: Oh - *click*


I hate it when people are stupid. :rolleyes:

LOL. I love it when people call and say "who is this." I always say it's John because almost everyone knows a John. Just keep it going for as long as I possibly can until they figure it out and then I call them a ******* moron and hang up.
