Unfiltered Story #28231
In the last few weeks my family has been getting a number of phone calls from an old lady asking for someone called George. We keep telling she has the wrong number but she keeps calling back sounding increasingly desperate. One day after school, she calls again.
Me: Hello?
Old Lady: Hello, is George there?
Me: There’s no one called George here- you called us twice yesterday, check the number you are calling
Old Lady: But this is the right number I know it!
Me: Well I’m sorry there is no George
Old Lady: Is this (reads off Number)?
Me: Yes
Old Lady: Then this is George’s house! Can you put him on please, has he been thinking about me?
Me: I’m really sorry but you have the wrong number- there is no called George here and there hasn;t been for at least 10 years! You really must stop calling us
I put the phone down, moments later it rings again. I roll my eyes in disbelief
Me: Hello?
Old Lady: OH GUESS I GOT THE WRONG NUMBER AGAIN! I’M GOING TO KEEP CALLING HERE UNTIL I GET GEORGE!
she slams the phone down, my brother emerges laughing.
Brother: Was that the crazy George lady again?
Me; Yeah it was- whoever this guy is I hope he’s a million miles away!
Oddly after that day, she stopped calling us!
