after a long day

phone rings
caller id says "SuzieJones" **
I answer.
A young female voice calls out, "Suzie! Suzie!"
I say, "No, you have the wrong number." and hang up.

Sometimes I don't feel like chatting to strangers, even if it's Bill (Clinton) or Laura (Bush) - who called us several times the last couple of days before the election. Should I be hurt that they don't call any more? - No, I'm just relieved to hear real humans and not recordings - especially since we're on the Missouri no-call list... But that's a different post...

Anyway, 30 seconds later, the phone rings again.
It's her.
"Is this 123-4567?"
I answer yes.
silence
She hangs up.

Now, I AM on the no-call list, and I think she might have been a little more polite.

thirty seconds later, the phone rings.
I check the ID - yep, you guessed it.
I am not amused.
I answer the phone with, "Here is where you say, 'Sorry that I bothered you.'"
She said, "I'm not gonna say that!! I wanna know why you've got my phone?"
I look at the phone.
I hang up.

I don't make these things up...
