I see how today is going to go
Me answering the phone: Hello?
Dude on the other end: Albert, I need you to…
Me: Wait.
DOTOE: Huh?
Me: Do I SOUND like an Albert?
DOTOE: Uh, no.
Me: Ok, so then why would you say “Albert” then just keep talking to me, when I am clearly not an Albert?
DOTOE: Um.
Me:?
DOTOE: When you see Albert can you let him know…
Me: There is no Albert here.
DOTOE: So, you won’t take a message?
June 2nd, 2009 at 1:32 pm
Doh!
Actually, you are more patient that I would have been. I think would have hung up after he said “Albert” the first time.
June 2nd, 2009 at 1:38 pm
Yeah, the writing’s on the wall with this phone call…
June 2nd, 2009 at 1:47 pm
lol… I would have taken a message if he were that insistent. Not your fault if Albert never gets the message
June 2nd, 2009 at 2:14 pm
Snot on the screen!
June 2nd, 2009 at 2:16 pm
i wish you could hear me snicker, then you would know what it sounded like when i typed
*snicker*
which i think kind of ruins the snickering, making it all words instead of sounds.
still
*snicker*
June 2nd, 2009 at 2:23 pm
sigh…
June 2nd, 2009 at 2:32 pm
I’m with Kay. I would have taken a message.
That’s some kinda way to start the day…
June 2nd, 2009 at 2:36 pm
Thank you for making me laugh out loud.
June 2nd, 2009 at 2:36 pm
So, really not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Thanks for the laugh, perhaps that is why those people live.
June 2nd, 2009 at 2:55 pm
I would have taken a message, then called the guy back and said Hey Albert, Dumbass needs you to…. and when he told me he wasn’t Albert I would have asked HIM to take a fucking message.
Cause I’m all evil like that.
June 2nd, 2009 at 3:34 pm
it’s a cute nickname, though.
June 2nd, 2009 at 3:35 pm
*Blink* ok there was no brain waves going for this dude from his head to his mouth. Apparently he’s never heard of wrong number. (Hugs)Indigo
June 2nd, 2009 at 3:40 pm
Was he drunk?
June 2nd, 2009 at 4:09 pm
“Well I WOULD take a message, but Albert told me you were an idiot, so I guess not.”
June 2nd, 2009 at 4:37 pm
LOL when I was reading this at first I was wondering who DOTOE was … oops =)
wow I am not catchin what you were throwing today..
SS
June 2nd, 2009 at 4:42 pm
I have been getting calls for at least five years from bill collectors (those people are relentless) for some dude named Orlando Geiger – if I ever find that guy I’m gonna punch him in the face.
June 2nd, 2009 at 4:53 pm
Heh, heh, denial. It is my friend. Tell ‘im to call me.
June 2nd, 2009 at 5:15 pm
Remind me someday to post a little ditty called “The Wrong George”. Hilarious . . .
June 2nd, 2009 at 5:28 pm
This sounds like a day to put all future calls to voicemail…………..
June 2nd, 2009 at 5:29 pm
Oh Man. That person had a death wish.
June 2nd, 2009 at 5:30 pm
Please tell Albert i said “Hi, and that i have the results back from the clinic and he’ll need some penicillin too.”
June 2nd, 2009 at 7:12 pm
[...] post is for Flutter, who posted a humorous conversation she had this morning with a clueless bastard who dialed the wrong number. I mentioned this little [...]
June 2nd, 2009 at 7:48 pm
Haha! You were way more kind then I would have been. Kudos!
June 2nd, 2009 at 7:55 pm
LOL!!!! Very funny, C.!!! HeelllOOOOOOOOOOOO, ALBERT’S BUDDY!!!!! ANYONE HOME THERE…?????
June 2nd, 2009 at 8:02 pm
DOTOE = DODO (as in bird)
June 2nd, 2009 at 8:45 pm
The other day Josh called his best friend and immediately launched into nerdy video game chatter and then, five minutes later, he realized it WASN’T his best friend. Wrong number. HA!
June 2nd, 2009 at 9:28 pm
ha ha ha ha ha
BUT… still sounds better than my day. Because when someone started talking to me about LICE… they meant to be talking to me, the mother of the girl who had it.
sigh.
June 2nd, 2009 at 9:29 pm
When Albert calls and wants his messages, whatcha gonna tell him?
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:37 pm
Boy, I dunno: sounds like a day where you went to work as a dominatrix; you were all over his ass. Me likey.
June 2nd, 2009 at 10:43 pm
LOL. Literally.
June 3rd, 2009 at 4:54 am
Thanks for the laugh~I wish you would have taken a message because DAMN who knows what would have come out of dude’s mouth?
June 3rd, 2009 at 5:08 am
Oh Jesus…had to laugh out loud! I LOVE those kinds of phone calls.
I was getting them at 3am on my cell for awhile…and the girl kept insisting, “But I need my stuff! Can you tell Mitzy?”
June 3rd, 2009 at 7:06 am
I can’t believe you wouldn’t take a message, what a bitch.
;p
June 3rd, 2009 at 8:25 am
Albert is going to be so upset with you…
June 3rd, 2009 at 8:31 am
Hahah that’s great
I got a collect call from the county jail the other day. The recorded voice said “it’s me”. I wish I’d had an opportunity to tell him WHY I was rejecting his call… heh.
June 3rd, 2009 at 9:17 am
Strange, indeed.
June 3rd, 2009 at 9:34 am
So, wait, you’re not going to take the message?
June 3rd, 2009 at 11:38 am
Lord, what was he smoking?
June 3rd, 2009 at 12:28 pm
now that is some hard-headedness.
June 3rd, 2009 at 6:00 pm
June 3rd, 2009 at 8:25 pm
But what if it was a really GOOD message?
June 3rd, 2009 at 9:41 pm
How come I don’t get those entertaining calls? It’s always HELLO, JULIO!!! No, you have the wrong number. SLAM DOWN THE PHONE ON MY EAR.
June 4th, 2009 at 8:27 am
I used to get calls like that for Ray…
June 4th, 2009 at 11:23 am
rofl !!!
June 4th, 2009 at 12:37 pm
Ah that poor clueless bastard! But hey, at least he wasn’t looking for a “date”, because god help him then!!!
June 4th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
oh f*ckers, EVERYWHERE. Blech!
June 4th, 2009 at 11:31 pm
People are dickheads.
June 5th, 2009 at 8:28 pm
I have the same damn problem. If I get one more phone call for Donna O’Malley, when I’ve lived here for 4 FRIGGIN’ YEARS…!
June 6th, 2009 at 5:35 am
Fuckin’ Albert. I’ve got a guy who keeps calling my cell asking for Dwayne. Maybe they know each other.
June 6th, 2009 at 9:04 am
hahahahahahhahhahahhaha.
admit it, the rest of the day was also strange
June 8th, 2009 at 1:58 pm
DOTOE has called me before. Weird that he has both our numbers.
June 10th, 2009 at 8:06 pm
LOL. seriously?? wow… that’s all I can say.
June 13th, 2009 at 9:31 pm
What an idiot. Well, at least you got some blog fodder out of it
