The following is true. The names have been changed to protect the insane innocent. All alleged lunatics are competent until proven otherwise.
So, the other day this girl, I will call her Jane1 sent her loved one out to the store very late at night2 to pick up a few things from the local Wal-Mart.3
Anyway, the loved one was very tired, and so was Jane. As the minutes ticked away, Jane realized she needed to add a few items to the list. She dialed her loved ones cell phone and got the standard recording and left a message asking that he call her back. About 10 minutes later, she called again, no answer, she left another message. She did this about 3-4 more times, becoming more and more frantic with each call. What if he was in a ditch? Fell asleep? Dead??
Finally, Jane called the loved one in complete hysterics leaving the following message:
“Where are you????? Are you dead???? Are you ok???? I AM SO FUCKING FREAKED OUT… CALL ME BACK DAMMIT… LLAMA ME HOMBRE!!!! TE AMO!!!!4 I love you… ok.. please… call…”
Within seconds of hanging up, Jane paused, and took a look at the number she had been dialing and realized that she was calling the wrong number.
So yeah… Jane spent most of her day waiting for the stranger to call her back and tell her she’s a nutcase.
The moral of the story is? Exhausted dialing is the same, if not worse, than drunk dialing.5

haha… *embarrassed*
It happened to me once…. luckily the stranger was amused rather than annoyed and sympathetic. When my hubby came home, he got a earful from me.

*giggle* That’s the problem with Redial! You don’t actually pay attention to make sure you’re dialing the correct number, LOL.

Ha! That’s hilarious.
I did something similar while I was wide awake and sober. Oopsie. Sorry, dude, who thought his wife was going to have a heart attack. LOL!
HA! I think that we’ve all experienced a bit of this lunacy in some form or fashion.
lmao. Too funny.

Oh my god, that was pretty hilarious. I wonder how the other person felt to get all those messages?
You are sure this was not you?
I was calling a wrong number for weeks and complaining to my other half why he always switched off his mobile…

Oh my. Well, these are the little things that keep life exciting, right?
Can I borrow that straight jacket some time?

love your use of “footnotes.” Very clever and amusing.

LOL…really I’m laughing out loud with this one! Last summer I needed hubby’s work number (he works a camp during the summer months and I didn’t have the number) so I called his normal work number asked for the number dialed the numbered and kept getting an answering machine. I called several times and left several messages. Hubby got home 6 hours later and I asked him if he got just one of the messages I left. Turns out I called a stranger’s house asking to speek to my husband. The next day the wife called wondering who I thought I was for asking to speek to her husband.
Momto4kidsnys last blog post..A note to my readers…
Ha! I hate being drunk dialed… It’s just no fun and the conversation almost always turns to sex. So did the wrong number person ever call back?
Hahahaha luckily I don’t like leaving voice messages. But, as someone said… it sure makes for interesting stories!!
Oh dear!
I has someone repeatedly call me and breathe or just hang up.
The one time I finally snap and screamed what do you want f**kers!!!! It wasn’t them it was my grandma whose connection was faulty, whoops.

I understand. That’s totally NOT you. I will, however, remember the bit about repeating my message in Spanish.
Oh. But does it have to be Spanish? Cuz, you know, I could also do German or maybe Irish. Not that my loved ones would understand any of these language. Mmmm. No, my daughter would probably understand the Spanish. Te amo, te amo, te amo.
And I would NEVER dial drunk. Heaven forfend!
LOL! You’re protesting that it’s not you an awful lot. Really makes me doubt you.
I have to wonder why Jane didn’t have her loved one’s phone number programmed on her phone, avoiding the dialing mistake all together?

Only in my nightmares Mo would this happen! Friend Jane needs sleep ASAP as Sconicle would say!
Are you really sure that is not you? Ok, I just asked again to confirm. LOL! What else can I say? This is totally hilarious! Thanks for making my day
BKs last blog post..Everything Happened for a Reason
LMAO I have been guilty of exhausted calling. I called a friend’s house and asked for my boyfriend (at the time). She said, “Why the hell would he be here? Wake up stupid!” I’m yelling at the phone like, “Who the hell is this!?” She’s cracking up and telling me to call her when I wake up. I finally realize what I did and burst into a fit of giggles. Then I told her real serious, “Good thing for you he wasn’t there.” LOL I meant it too. :-p

Okay, so this wasn’t me. It truly was a co-worker of the Urbane Lions’s. Seems his co-worker, we’ll call her Jane as well, went away for a Girlz Weekend. The Hubby checked the phone messages to discover a man’s voice saying that he can’t wait to meet up with Jane. The Hubby phoned Jane absolutely furious. “So, where are you?” “You know where I am!” “So, who are you with?” “You know who I’m with!” “So, WHO IS THIS THEN?!” ..and The Hubby holds the receiver up to the answering machine and plays the message. “Um, that’s an old message. That would be you, dear.” The Hubby “Ah, yes, have a good time sweetheart.”
