My phone number is one-off from a taxi serice. The taxi is 918, I'm 819. This means that once in a while, we get the occasional random phone call (usually either really late or really early) asking for a cab.
This morning, I spent 2 minutes arguing with a little old lady that no, this wasn't Phil's Taxi Service:
LOL: I'd like a taxi please
me: I'm sorry, you have a wrong number
LOL: No I don't, this is Phil's Taxi Service
me: I'm sorry ma'am, but it's not.
LOL: Yes it is, I have the number on the card right in front of me XXXXXXXX918
me: You've reached XXXXXXXX819.
LOL: That's what I said. Now I'd like a cab.
me: *silence*
me: I'm really sorry ma'am, but this is a private flat, not a taxi service
LOL: Oh bother (she actually said that) *hangs up*
I was told off because I wouldn't send a cab out to her. If I'd have been just a bit more evil, I'd have taken her address down and hung up way before the end of that stupid conversation…
