Caller ID-iot

Actual transcript of a call I received this morning: Me: "Hello?" Idiot: "Hi, Julie?" Me: "No, sorry, you've got the wrong number" Idiot: "Is Julie there?" Me: "No, you have the wrong number." Idiot: "Julie Morris." Me: "Goodbye" (it was just too early in the morning for me to explain that if there are no Julies here, there are probably also no Julie Morrises, no matter how you emphasize the name.) Sigh. If you know Julie Morris, be sure and tell her an idiot is trying to reach her. This reminded me of my friend T and the problem he used to have at his old place. He used to get calls for John all the time. Creditors, girls he'd had one night stands with (who thought they had his real number), sales people, etc. They'd never believe T when he told them it wasn't John's number any more. Then one night, he got a call around 2 am - a very angry and drunk-sounding guy said "John, you better get down here! You (expletive deleted)!!! I know what you did with my woman!!" T tried to explain but the guy would have none of it. He even yelled "I know you knocked her up last night!!" T and I are impressed that they were already aware the next day that she'd been knocked up. Finally, tired, annoyed and at the end of his (already short) patience, T said "Oh yeah, what're you gonna do about it?" Drunk man: "Get down here, so I can kick your ass!!" T: "No." Drunk man: "I know where you live, I'll come kick your ass there!!" T: "Sounds good, see you soon." Turned out the guy felt he was too drunk to drive, but he promised to come kick "John's" butt first thing in the morning. T pushed for a time, but the guy wouldn't set a specific appoint, just "first thing in the morning". We've often wondered if John got up the next morning, went out to get his paper and found an angry hung-over guy waiting for him. A few months after that, T moved and got a new phone number. He was thrilled that he'd never have to take another of John's calls. Less than a week after he moved in, he got a call "Is Shawn there?"
