had a similar problem with 3 am calls for a maria on sat nit
I politely informed the guy that
she was last seen leaving town with the hell's angels

When in HS and living at my parents got a call that the person would say a name very slowly and labored. I politely responded that they must have the wrong number and he would just say no then the name again. After going thru this several times instead of hanging up I went and got my Dad. It turned out to be an old friend of Dad's that had had a stroke and instead of asking who he wanted to talk to he was saying his own name.

A previous number of ours was one digit different of the local Red Lobster. After countless "sorry, you have the wrong number" I started taking reservations for 10 at 7 o'clock. For fun when the caller would ask what time we opened, I would tell them that we closed due to the 5 year old frozen lobsters making everyone sick.

Another one was constant everyday.....Donde esta Alfredo? Wrong number! Next day same thing, etc etc etc.....Finally I told them Alfredo got deported. No more calls.

It's a generic substitute for any dip.

Fries? Mayo first then catsup. The beefier the fries the bigger the bias towards mayo. At a thrill ride park? Vinegar. Don't like it at home (vinegar). Ranch if the fridge is empty. Can't lose.

10:1 it's the dentist's kid(s).

Pff, this kind of revenge is just to impersonal.
Revenge does not work for me unless I can see the dispair in the eyes of the sucker who earned it.

I don't put in the effort to annoy somebody I never even met in person. Not worth my time

Man, I haven't seen you post in forever, svandamme, and today I've seen you post in two threads. It's good to see that you're still around!
