When I got my first phone I would get a call from a drunk and he would ask me stupid questions and that went on for about three years and one day I call him back and got his daughters and I found out that I was talking to an old lady not an man and the daughter told me that her mom gets drunk ones a month and thinking that she was talking to her husband that died years earlier to talk to him and I told the daughter that it was ok and then the daughter took care of the phone number thing so her mother can call me again so that was takin care of
Ngl that is kinda wholesome
@@Rocketcraft7167 thank you dude and it was very crazy
Someone was calling me. Then I said wrong number. He ends. So wild
Dude same happened to me. It must be the same person since the story is so whimsically similar
Yeah. I had this same man ask me, "Hello, Jonathan?" - I replied, "No. I'm afraid you have the wrong number."
The man quickly apologized, hung up and never called again.
@@NicholasGeschke weird, coincidence I think not.
This was early 2010s and still lived in my first apartment. Had a lady call and demand I give her sisters phone back to her. Tried to explain I didn't have a cell phone, this was a landline she was calling. She didn't believe me strong enough to actually sick the police on me. Apparently the lady whos number I supposedly stole, had her phone line deactivated due to lack of payment, and she tried to tell people she had her iPhone stolen, and the person who had the number (me) was the one who stole it. Imagine the look the police had when they had the lady dial the iPhone, only to have my landline ring instead. At least the cops were cool about it, and thought the whole thing was an irritating waste of time, but the value of the phone, and the nature of the complaint that was filed, warranted a follow up. One of them even gave me an old cordless set they had at their place which actually did have caller id, and helped me get the deranged womans number blocked from calling me. It got bad enough I had to unplug the phone, and only plugged it in when I had to call family or my friends.
I got a call one day and a woman asked me for by my name. She wanted to know why her husband had my number on his wallet. I told her I didn't know her husband and was married. I told her I hay I didn't have time for another man that I already had 2 husbands and 2 lids and didn't have
Time for another.
15:46 You got swatted and that is a crime.
But what could be the reason for it? Just for fun?
Why don't you link to the threads you read in these videos?
Ok the Cousin Al story is adorable
Anytime I come across a random number carver into a bus stop, I’ll text them with the most tea-filled “wrong number” texts ever like “He cheated on me with his SISTER!” Or “So, it turns out my son faked his death… can you call me?” And just wait for them to respond.
So I don't know if this counts but ever since I got my new number I've been getting all types of text ads from political republican stuff or others for a woman named Andrea. I'm a guy and don't have a name close to Andrea
Kinda love Cousin Al here. Seems like a nice enough guy. Al, wherever you are, I hope you're doing well Cousin!
Honestly sounds like they both made their days just that little bit better. Which is real nice
“Oh sh$t” famous last words from goat guy
My first cell phone number was apparently very close to a local Chinese restaurant that did delivery. Also a lot of its customers spoke only Mandarin so that was fun for a couple months.
Second
One time a random dude called me and said, "I like trains." I think he watched too much ASDF movie.
Another time, A telemarketer called me and asked for my name. I said, "Bond. James Bond."
Got a text at work. It was definitely weird.
Them: "Hello?"
Me: "Who is this?"
Them: "Who is this?"
Me: "Who do you think I am?"
Them: "The guy who called me earlier?"
Me: "Well, I never called you. Bye." (it's true, 'cuz I don't call anyone much)
Jajjajaa, I laughed with the specificity of the “chilean spanish” one…. We have a very distinct dialect XD (even spanish speakers can’t follow when we talk informally)
Hello? Is this Mr. G?
Oh! It's the wrong number! The wrong number song!
We're very very sorry that we got it wrong!
I can confirm that Laryngitis sucks. I had a viral chest infection that turned into Laryngitis when I was 17. My voice was wiped out for nearly a month.
Once i got call from unknown number, they asked me something simple like "hows your day going?" i asked who im talking with and they were like "ohhh im sorry i called wrong number"
But when i got into SMS history with this number, like maybe i talked with them before but forgot, I HAD history with them, even tho it was only couple of non-informative messages from both sides. The thing is, ALL that exchange happened in a day and time, when i was 100% away from town in a place with 0 connection and had my phone with me. It happened in ~2015 and i still cant explain how and what happened
Sometimes I get wrong number voicemails in a foreign language and they sound angry. Once I used google translate to detect the language in a follow up text and texted back in both languages: “You have the wrong number and I don’t speak any Spanish.“ They texted back a bunch of times in Spanish. I google translated it every time and it was all death threats and crap like “you f*cking a**hole!”. I blocked her eventually
A few years ago a women called me and I answered. She insisted called her first and I explained I never called her. She got angry and told me to never call her again. I repeated “I never called you” in a slightly firm voice and hung up. I checked my call history and screenshotted it just in case she was one of those crazy types who’d call the police for “harassment”. Looking back she was either crazy, on substances or dialed the wrong number. But why dial? Just click the number in your call history!
The robo calls to the house land line got so bad that any person I gave the number to was told to let it ring twice, hang up, and call again. Ever since I got a cell phone with caller I.D., if I don't recognize the number I don't pick up. IF they leave a message I call back. Technology is great in some ways.
The best story for this question was an answer I'd heard from one of these types of stories ages ago about how someone called a number while working for something that was a cold calling company and I THINK they got something like the US Pentagon or some other major government body and the people on the other side freaked and were all "How'd you get this number?!" because it wasn't supposed to be callable by outside numbers and was for like... Nuke warnings or war commands or something insane.
I have two wrong number calls I can think of. One was from a Jamaican guy calling his friend, he was polite when I told him it was the wrong number and hung up, and another was from a guy using a voice filter to deepen his voice and private number yelling at me for busting up his mailbox. He wouldn't believe me when I told him he had the wrong number and threatened my life if I did it again. It's been a few years and he hasn't called back since, so I'm guessing he got that situation resolved or at least figured out that he called the wrong number. I'm assuming he knew, or at least had a good idea of, who the mailbox smasher was and meant to call their number, instead.
I had a guy call me to buy marihuana. I don't know what his dealer's number was but it wasn't me.
I also had a young boy call me around 9 PM one night to tell his mother goodnight. He kept calling back several times and sounded more and more panicky that his mother wasn't answering and wasn't there when he asked for her. Finally the friend he apparently had visiting for a sleepover called and he was calm. I explained it was the wrong number and that momma dearest must have written down the wrong number for her work.
Some old lady wanting to talk to her Dr. about a cancer diagnosis and trying to make an appointment. It broke my heart since she sounded like she was trying really hard to hold it together, I told her she had the wrong number though I did say “good luck and I hope it works out” to her.
Back in yellow book we had a bunch of Asians calling thinking we were a restaurant because spoken our last name and the restaurant sounds the same but were spelled very differently.
As a kid my house phone rang and i answered it on the phone was a hispanic woman that said something in spanish being hispanic myself but at the time. I was barely getting my spanish down so after she said something i simply said "what" and she just started laughing like she heard a really funny joke and hung up i was just confused. Looking back that was obviously a prank phone call but it's not as bizarre as getting a random message from a woman i don't know with a pic was worried my phone was getting hacked or something i didn't even reply just deleted that message. creepy...
I got a couple of calls from my mom's former employer (home health company), and the person was rambling about patients' private information. Our numbers are 1 digit off, my mom has a fairly uncommon name, uncommon enough i knew it was for her and fortunately, they got me, a fairly reasonable person, who also happens to be her son, and I redirected the message to my mom.
For years I’ve been getting calls asking for a Tiffany
I once got a text from this real cute looking Asian girl who apparently seem to think she was texting some friend or love interest of hers talking about how she had a great time with me on her yacht and yes she did say yacht. I tried multiple times to explain to this girl that she had the wrong number and that she wasn't talking to the person she thought she was but she just laughed and told me that I was funny and that I was such a jokester. Finally I told her to look at the number she was currently texting and it was then she finally realized that she didn't have the right number.
For the last story if the two names are real, it makes me wonder if they were my cousins as I have two older cousins who are brothers with those names.
The hello and then silence is a common scam tactic to see if the line is live. If you say hello back itll either connect you to the scammer or list your number as "live" and theyll call you relentlessly
The governor should have had a press conference.
Never been this early before!

When I was 15 I used to get text from some drunk girl that broke up with her boyfriend and even called and left me voicemails. That when on for about 2 weeks. I tried to convince her that I wasn't her ex boyfriend but she wouldn't listen, probably because she was drunk every time. Looking back I probably could have leveraged the situation and gotten some free dirty pics from her, but as a shy teen, that thought never crossed my mind.
