The Call Of Nature
Saint (what else!)
argh!!!!! I just received a phonecall (or 2, actually) which confirms my gravest doubts about mankind's intellectual abilities.
Enjoy:
yes, please?
can I speak with Mr XY?
sorry, nobody with that name lives here. You got the wrong number.
No, I don't.
Yes, you do. You propably hit a wrong key, accidentially.
But this number is in the header of a the letter I got from him!
If it is indeed than the header contains a typo.
But it is the right number!
No, it isn't. It is my number, not his.
Well, can you give me Mr XY's number then?
Excuse me, how could I possibly give you the number of a complete stranger of whom I never heard of before? Try the phone book.
But this is the right number!
At which point I hung up.
1 min later she called again, demanding I give her Mr XY's number. As she wouldn't accept the gentle but firm advice to use a certain modern invention known as phone book in wich surprisingly almost all people who own a phone are listed, all I could do was threaten to sue her if she dared to call me again.
I wonder on what drugs this woman is..
Well, anyway, nothing is as relaxing as a good rant, so go ahead and post your weirdness-of-the-day here =)
