This isn't a question, but these phone conversations reminded me of it. Several years ago, we had a small amount of money invested in stocks so we would sometimes get phone calls asking us to invest in a certain one. (If they knew how little we had invested, they wouldn't bother soliciting.) On one such occasion, the man asked for my husband, and I said, "He's busy, may I take a message?" His reply was "I'm busy too." I wanted to say "Well, I'll save you some time" and hang up on him, but I didn't.

you should have! But then again, I have had some that I hang up on actually call back!

Again, not a question, but my ADHD mind making connections from one story to another.

I had a guy call one day (about 20 years ago... before caller ID) and ask to talk to George. I said, "I'm sorry, you have the wrong number." His reply, "Well, you've got some @%^%&@$ nerve answering the wrong number."

that's a shame.

I had to call the cable company when we first got connected to the internet. It was the second day that we had it and I called to tell them it wasn't working.

He says, is it plugged in? Duh yeah it's plugged in. Are the lights to the modem on? Um, what's a modem?

:)In Texas and Oklahoma a common thing to do is to call some one on the phone and say" Where you at?" (Duh, you called me, I'm answering the phone, where do you think I am? ) It doesn't look so bad now that people have cell phones but I still hear it in offices and hospitalson occasion.

The same camping weekend Cami referred to where the girl looked at her standing there soakinh wet and asked if she had been swimming, she was asked another stupid question by a boy there.

Cami was on the street in front of our camp site with her skateboard. She was practicing a trick. So, she was standing there with her "skateboard shoes" on (Etnies... which a boarder will easily recognize), skateboard in hand, and a boy comes up and ask "You skateboard?"
