They are relentless
Well, it turns out that now I am attracting weirdos via the phone. I just got a call on the landline. I answered the phone.
- Me
Hello?
The line seems dead, but I keep checking.
- Me
Hello?
*pause*Hello?
- Confused-sounding woman
Hello?
- Me
Hi, who's this?
- Confused-sounding woman
Christine, have you picked up the phone?
- Me
Who?
- Confused-sounding woman
What number?
- Me
Sorry, who's this?
They then hang up. Those are actual quotes people. For the next four weeks I reckon I'll still hear What number?, What number? rattling around my head.

Des Traynor:
Dave, in all fairness, I think you are making a mountain out of a molehill here. It was a combination of a wrong number and/or a crossed line.
David Barrett:
Phil, I'm not surprised I got a wrong-number call. What *did* surprise me was the complete and utter confusion from the woman on the other end of the line, to the point where she was unable to construct complete sentences.
phil:
Let me know when the tribunal of enquiry makes its final report.
David Barrett:
No problem. Expect a call from the leprechaun mafia.
Dave Cahill:
Gotta go with Phil on this one, wrong numbers are one of life's harsh realities. Just to make this the most useful item here, including the post, here's some random links from my tab bar;

People? I didn't know Confey was in the USA. It was a wrong number, happens all the time. This comment is more worthwhile than that blog post. People out.
