Do you call them to tell them?

[Hendog]

I'll occasionally get a voice mail from someone who has mis-dialled a phone number. They obviously don't listen to my voice mail greeting, otherwise they'd know they dialled the wrong number. So, they just go right on and leave a message for "Joe". Only on rare occassions do I return the call to tell them they got it wrong. It depends on how I feel and how important this might be to someone. In most cases I don't call back, I just delete. But on occassion where I thought "Joe" should really get this call from his bank or whatever, I'll call back and let them know that "Joe" didn't get the important message. Businesses call and leave messages all the time so are not familiar with what "Joes'" message should sound like.

This happened a couple days ago; wasn't important (maybe), so delete. Next day I misdialled, heard an unfamiliar greeting and realized my error so left no message of course.

What do you do?

I'd call if the person leaving the message sounded female and cute.

If they didn't listen to the answering machine, then I'm not too worried about it.

I won't leave a message if it seems like the answering machine message is for someone else.

I never call people back, but I do like to screw with people who call me...

If I get a repeat wrong number, I'll pretend to be Joe's gay lover.

"OH MY GOD! That *****! I haven't seen Joe in two weeks and now he's sending his BANK after me? He high-tailed it out of here and just left behind sweaty sheets and a raging case of herpes. Say, you sound cute.....what's your name?"

I NEVER get a repeat call.

I just ignore them unless it is some irate bill collector. I had some doofus call and threaten to repossess my Honda. I have never owned a Honda so I called him back and told him to come get it before I set it on fire.

I lived with a chick for a while, and after she left, her school would still call wanting donations. After telling them several times that she didn't live there any more, I told them she died after using a plug-in vibrator in the bathtub. Never heard from them again after that...

Nah, I don't call 'em back. It's usually in Spanish anyway. I don't speak a word of Spanish.

Oh, I guess I do, but I can't type that here.

Dude, Spanish is easy.
If you want to say please, you say 4x4.
If you want to say see ya later, it's like the tennis shoes. Addidas!

Merry Christmas is easy too, just say fleas on my dog.

The only wrong numbers I get are from people calling their drug dealer. They are all calling the same guy. I figure they wouldn't understand because they are fried and they probably need the detox.
