Wrong Number

Murphy's laws are always at work guys. And these are laws that transcend across domains, countries etc.. truly remarkable.
Last week I had a spate of wrong number calls. That too at the most inopportune time say when I am having my siesta or in a serious discussion with my friends. It certainly annoys us at that time. But looking back you can afford a smile or two. Some samples:

1. Guy calls me and says that I need to come and collect my order of a truckload of potatoes. He says that the address is not clear so I have to clarify the address.

2. A gal calls and asks for "Anthony". She first wants to know who I am and when I ask her who she wants, (that's my standard practice), she replies. I start cursing the phone industry.

3. Some one calls from Mumbai and asks for "Fernandez". After told that it is a wrong number, he asks where is my number from. I say "Bangalore". He apologizes and disconnects.

One striking thing was that everybody had dialled my number correctly. So someone had given the wrong number that too my number to 3 people What a coincidence. Or is it something to do with the phone companies. Do let me know if u had a similar experience last week.
