just got another one!

why do people insist on responding to my hello with another tentative hello?
YOU CALLED ME!!!!

yes, hello?

i'm pretty sure i get at least one wrong number call a day. i just had the following conversation with ms. (XXX)635-0915 (i'm not that big a jerk).

me: hello?
wnd (wrong number douche): hello?
me: hello?
wnd: yes, hello?
me: hellooooo?
wnd: yes, hello?
me: HELLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOO?
wnd: yes, hell...(click)

why do people so easily forget that they are the ones who are initiating the call and therefore should be asking for someone instead of repeating back hello?

another wrong number

a few moments ago, but this time when i answered the phone, the voice on the other line asked for a person, rather than echo me. the person also said sorry and then hung up. it really doesn't take much to make me happy.

FUCK YOU WRONG NUMBER

Got a wrong number phone call just now. This is how our conversation went:

Me: Hello?
Stupid Woman: Hello?
Me: Hello!
Stupid Woman Douchebag Bitch: Hello?
Me: Hello.
Stupid Twat: Hello?
Me: Are you going to say...(click)

Stupid twatty douchebag bitch hung up on me. Incensed, I called her back only she didn't answer the phone.

I'm going to keep calling her until she picks up the phone to let her know that usually when someone says hello, you should respond with something more than just a hello back. Remember YOU CALLED ME! And on top of that, when you dial a wrong number, it's pretty nice to say you're sorry before you hang up the phone.

718.221.1132 is the fuckface's number.

Anyone else who wants to teach her a manners lesson, please go ahead.

• Yo La Tengo will be performing on tonight's season finale of Gilmore. Hmmm, what will happen? Either Poop (Luke) and Lorelei will break up or get married/elope, whatever. Last season brought such high hopes, this season makes me relieved that next season will be the last. On the tv tip, we watched last week's episode of the Office last night and it made me guffaw. Dwight's complaints against Jim had me in stitches. I'm cracking up just thinking of the shenanegins with the photo ID.

• I got two wrong numbers today. I get them quite often come to think of it. The first one today really irked me. The woman asked for Joanie or whomever, and I told her she had the wrong number. But she still didn't believe me, so she repeated the phone number she was trying to call, which was basically my number, except for one difference. I told her so and instead of saying, oops, sorry, she just hung up on me. I thought it was very rude, and sadly, it does seem to be the norm.

• My Tiny Showcase order finally showed up. The kind folks at The Human Empire sent me a couple shirts the other day too. I know have too many t-shirts, but these are AWESOME.
