Have you ever dialed "the wrong number" before? Was it embarrassing?
Mine was. ;;

I was calling my previous boyfriend back in late 2008 and when he answered I said "Hayyyy sexy". It wasn't him. It was some other guy and I checked my phone's screen and I dialed the wrong number. >_>;
It was so embarrassing! The guy's reaction was most likely a "lolwut o_o;".

Back when I lost my cell phone, I thought that I left it at Taco Bell (lololol omgomgomgomgom. I just noticed the irony of this post involvement in your thread, Luke!)

So, I called what I thought to be Taco Bell.
A woman answered.
"Hello, is this Taco Bell?"
"Excuse me?"
"Is this Taco Bell?"
Then she hung up.

I looked at the number and tried again.
"Hello, is this Taco B---"
Then she hung up.


That was the only event I had.
But no Luke. I never called you by mistake. Sorry.

I used to dial wrong numbers all the time, and I really do panic about doing it. I don't like talking to people I don't know over the phone, so I always double check the number before dialing. If not triple check.

Usually if I get the wrong number, I'll just panic and hang up. ;~;

I've received plenty of them--but the best one was when someone called my house thinking it was the hospital.

I haven't myself, but I've been on the receiving end of it XD One time, last year, the phone rang and I was the only one home, so I went to check who it was, and it was one of my brother's friends (Sarah) so I answered, annnnd this is how it went:

Me: Hello?
Sarah: Ohh hey there, what you did to me last night was SO amazing...
Me: ..... um... this is Jeff...
Sarah: ....
Me: ....
Sarah: ... okay um... just tell your brother I called
Me: ... alright

It was SO awkward XD;

Lol at Aegis' post.
Yeah, I have. But nothing embarassing. People have called me too.

i wanna be the wind that fills your sails,
& be the hand that lifts your veil.
& be the moon that moves your tide,
the sun coming up in your eyes.
be the wheels that never rust,
& be the spark that lights you up.
all that you've been dreaming of and more,
so much more, i wanna be your everything.. <3

Yeah, a lot of the time. Most haven't been too embarrassing, but there was one that's stuck in my memory. I was trying to call my friend Fionn, and for some weird reason all of my friends call him Jesus, so the conversation was as followed.

Random guy: Hello?

Me: Sup, Jesus? Are we gonna meet down by the holy well later on?

Random guy: What? I'm Paul.

Me: Whoa, you were vain enough to write a gospel about yourself? What's wrong with you?

Random guy: What?

Me: ...

Random guy: ...

I hung up when I realised I wasn't talking to my friend.
'It's been a prevalent notion. Fallen sparks. Fragments of vessels broken at the Creation. And someday, somehow, before the end, a gathering back to home. A messenger from the Kingdom, arriving at the last moment. But I tell you there is no such message, no such home -- only the millions of last moments . . . nothing more. Our history is an aggregate of last moments.'

I've dialed the wrong number a few times, but since I always open with "Hello?" and wait for a response I usually catch it if I didn't realize I dialed the wrong number while dialing. then I'll just say "Whoops? Wrong number!" and hang up. XD

Actually, I have dialed the wrong number a few times. Most of the time, I dialed the number wrong due to someone writing it wrong in the first place.

Everyone's dialled a wrong number at some point in their life. Most of mine were accidental and I ended up hanging up upon realising I had got the wrong number.
The last time I remember doing this would be when I was trying to order some pizza and pressed the wrong number. o.o

But I end up receiveing more wrong number calls... especially since my phone number is really similar to a school's number. I sometimes get weird phone calls on my cellphone too, come to think of it.

Now I think everybody is calling us to call for someone named "David". This one is for Foody Pizza, a dumb name for a pizzeria.

Phone rings

Me: Alye? (Russian for 'ello?)

???: Hey, Foody Pizza. Can you send me a large cheese?

Me: Foody...?

???: Yeah, do you want me to repeat that order? I live at---

Me: *interrupt* Wait. No, this is not Foody Pizza. Do I look like a pizzeria? This is my phone, j------, you're increasing my bill!

Uhm.. how do you mispell a number? xD

And yeah, I've dialed the wrong number before (oh gosh, that was interesting...) and have been on the recieving end.

I got a "wrong number" call just the other day in fact.
