I'm sure I'm not the only person to dial the wrong number, am I?

Like a bad penny...
Not having my glasses on, I made a one digit error when making a call. The person answering told me that I had the wrong number. No problems, right? Well, then the guy goes on and says "I'm a doctor and you're a real prick for taking up my time asshole!". :eek: WTF That rather caught me off guard.

Instead of getting rude back, I again apologized for taking his time for me hitting a wrong digit on my phone and was going to hang up. Before I could disconnect, he starts on a big rant telling me that he is fucking tired of lazy assholes who can't take the time to dial a number correctly and called me a stupid mother fucker. :ermm: Now he's starting to push my buttons, but I remained completely calm and simply said "I'm sorry to have taken your time. I'm sorry. I hope you have a good day". He started on more, but I simply hung up.

My question; should I just drop it, or should I give the good Dr. one more "oops" call; this time at 3am or something like that? I did make a mistake and called the wrong number. However, I NEVER got even remotely rude and apologized. I can't decide if I should give him a little repayment. After all, one additional polite wrong number could not possibly get me in any trouble with the law, if it comes to that. I just really am miffed that someone went off on me that much for a simple wrong number; for which I apologized.

What do you guys think? Heck, if I wanted to be an ass, I could post his number in a number of places and he would get calls for the next month. I could give out his number as being "interested" in investing or wanting to buy some insurance etc. I've done nothing now, but I'm really tempted to let him know that some people do not like to be cursed out for a simple mistake and have the cursing get worse after apologizing.
 
If you want to worry, find something more important...other wise spend this time enjoying something good about your life.

Or stew about this it's your time.
 
If he truly is a doctor, then he is the only one in the nation who answers his own phone.

Brent, that was my number you dialed. I was just f***ing with you. Sorry dude.
 
I spent 34 years working for the government. I've had people cuss me up one side and down the other. It's amazing how many came back and apologized. This may or may not be the same situation. I'm with leadarrows. Let it go. There are more important things to brood over.
 
oh. i'd hit redial repeatedly, & give his # to anyone i know. have them dial him, too. buy them a drink per call.
 
As rude as he was, either anonymously put the number somewhere or let it go.

I had someone get me as a wrong number. Guy had a nice voice. A few seconds later he called again. I had to remind him that pushing redial when you got a wrong number, didn't work :yum:
 
In my town we have a throwaway newspaper called the “Thrifty Nickel” and it’s free to run an add in if you’re not a commercial business. People run ads for their garage sales, mattress’s and stuff like that. My buddy and I were always playing pranks on each other and one day I put a ad in the Thrifty Nickel that said “5 free goats, call between 9:00pm and 11:00pm only. And of course I put his number in as the number to call. :biggrin: For the next week or so he was getting calls from all of the surrounding areas, all of them looking for their free goat.

I’m just tossing this out there. You know… just in case you decide to run an ad for some free geese or something.

You clearly don't know me. I am certainly not 'brooding' about shit. I'm simply contemplating a little entertainment by being an asshole to an asshole. Generally they are pricks who order people around all day like they own them. They fall apart when they get mirrored.
 
Drop it is my advise. Life is too short.

Just today, the wife and I stopped to help a young lady who had slid off the road and hit a telephone poll. We watched it happen. Everyone else just drove by. My wife comforted her while I made the 911 call and tried to get people to slow down as this particular stretch was friggin glare ice. Not black ice as there is no such thing. Good old fashioned white ice on top of blacktop.


Most of the people refused to even slow down, some giving me the finger for trying to tell them how to drive. Moral of the story, screw them. They are not worth a seconds more of your thought.

Come on Brent ! You can do better than that . When the Doctor said what I bolded above , you should have said .

"Sorry , I did not mean to spend any time up your asshole but then again I am the prick . What your excuse ?"

PB's idea is hilarious, but I have to agree with those who say to let it go. This ass is not worth the aggravation.

Too late. While the wife was grocery shopping I filled out some requests to be contacted for ED matters. Everything about that sort of stuff is kept confidential, you know. During one of his rants in the short time he had, he did tell me that "you reached Dr. Fox you stupid asshole". Dr. Fox and his phone number was all I needed I needed to fill out forms for some discreet conversations about his problem.

See, a little fun and I never uttered a single disrespectful word to the rude old asshole as he cursed me out for my finger hitting one number wrong on my phone. Who knows, maybe I did him a great favor he was just too embarrassed to ask about. :whistling: :biggrin:

I know, I know. Like I said, he caught me off guard. After speaking with customers for decades and the way my mother raised me, I'm always polite until given a reason to not be so. Then I got the other part of my raising by her 7 brothers who were all boxers like her father. They were Irish, very Irish. If being polite didn't work, ya better put up yer dukes! Also, no matter the odds or the size of the man; if ya ever come upon a man laying a hand to a woman, you whip his arse good or get your arse whipped good trying ta do so. Just so ya know, Irish, German and Shawnee makes for a different kinda mutt. :wink:
