One time when my friend Vlad called I picked up and said
"Blockbuster video how may I help you?"
"Uhhh, hi? This is blockbuster?"
"Yeah this is blockbuster"
etc etc.
We strung him along for MONTHS, he would call back 3-4 times EVERY TIME HE WANTED TO CALL US to get through to our apartment. I would have my girlfriend answer as blockbuster a few times then he'd call back a third time and I'd answer. He'd ask if my girl was over and I'd say "no? she's at work, why?" haha. Sometimes he would get really pissed off, we just said "it's probably a crossed wire or something" and shrugged it off. My roommate and I were always on the ball and would turn off the tv and any music if he called, then crank it back up when we would really answer.
That's so awesome.
For the last two years I've been getting calls for some woman named "Tiffany." From all sorts of people, too. Even her aunt. Not as many now as the first few months after I got a phone, but still. They leave messages, too.
A while back, my sister kept getting calls, and since she usually has her cell phone off, messages, from some law firm in Ohio intended for some guy named Miguel. Eventually they finally called while the phone was actually on, and she informed them quite bluntly that she didn't know anyone named Miguel, and that for the last month they'd been leaving messages on the phone of a 17 year old girl in California.
....please hold.
