Mrs Nailedon has two of these for picnics. I suspect that she is being deliberately risqué.
Our daughter in law spots them. Gets it wrong. "Why don't you keep those in the bedroom?"
Embarrassment all round. I had warned SWMBO. Still my fault.

Not my missus - somebody else's.
Got home from work the other day and there was an answerphone message from (by the sound of it) an elderly gentleman who clearly hadn't listened to our outgoing message and was leaving a message to re-arrange delivery of a package having received a 'you were out' card (clearly believing he was speaking to a courier company).
My missus, being the helpful type, phoned the number he'd left to let them know they had the wrong number and therefore would need to try again if they wanted to re-arrange delivery of their parcel as we weren't a courier company.
Despite explaining this very carefully to the woman that answered, she got really shirty and informed my missus that they had definitely dialed the correct number as she'd watched him do it, and therefore it was clearly our mistake, before hanging up!
Stupid bint is probably now wondering why their parcel hasn't been resent!

The travelling fun fair was in town last week, so the missus takes the lad on the dodgems. She's zooming around with him and has a hard head on crash with a couple of lads that were coming straight for them. This upset the lad so she looks to cut the session short to comfort him. As she zooms past the attendant she asks him to stop them, to be greeted with a bemused look. On the second time past she shouts (now getting irritated), "CAN YOU MAKE US STOP PLEASE?"
He jumps onto the side of her car, leans down and advises "take your foot off the pedal."

Reminds me of the telephone number of one place we used to live at. When Eurotunnel opened they had a near identical phone number to ours - the only difference being the 017 instead of 087. So we used to get calls to book crossings. Most of the time things were civil when I informed them of their error. Except for one guy who kept on ringing. He thought I was a layabout trying to do minimal work and after the 3rd or 4th call got really arsey - so I took his booking. Told him yes the crossings were fine, made up a figure, took his card details and made up a reference number...Got home from work the other day and there was an answerphone message from (by the sound of it) an elderly gentleman who clearly hadn't listened to our outgoing message and was leaving a message to re-arrange delivery of a package having received a 'you were out' card (clearly believing he was speaking to a courier company).

what is it with wrong number 
s - in what scenario would they ever be right and you'd be wrong? You've had temporary amnesia and don't know where you are? Maybe you're a postman who just as you're dropping off the letters somewhere, everyone around you spontaneously combusts, and then the phone rings? Oh yes sorry, now that you've rung ten times I do know your cousin jackie. She's just upstairs, one sec *leaves the phone off the hook for 2 days*. Stupid fkers.

Tell me about it.
There was this one time that I tried to book a channel tunnel crossing and the idiot at the other end kept denying that it was the right number. Took me ages to convince him.
In the end I did and I got my booking.
Unfortunately there must have been a problem with they systems and when I got there, no booking! I blame their computers.

It was quite breathtakingly arrogant! s - in what scenario would they ever be right and you'd be wrong? You've had temporary amnesia and don't know where you are?

Stupid fkers.I still struggle to see how her mind worked - someone calls to say 'You accidentally called a private home phone number and left a message for a courier company earlier today' and she computes that as having to be our mistake - and is quite rude about it! How does she even begin to compute that?

Had a woman ring up work yesterday asking for the MD, I told her that he wasn't here and was most likely at our head office; I gave her the number so she could try him there. A minute late the same woman rings again, I answered again and reminded her that it was me that had spoken to her previously and that the MD still wasn't here, she was adamant that she had dialled the head office number, I said that she couldn't have, but she wasn't having it and insisted that she had, we are a completely different area codes FFS!
