Simple: your phone is a curry-ordering phone tunnel, but with intermittent faults. The guy in 2004 was obviously confused that the number he usually dials to connect him to the curry house didn't work and only got as far as you instead, but he tried again later and got successfully forwarded to the curry house. Last night the curry house tried to phone him back to apologise for the delay (four years being, as you suggest, more plausible than twenty minutes) and tell him his curry was about to be delivered; and insisted, correctly, that the order had come to them from your number (the curry-ordering tunnel having hidden its implementation details and appeared to both ends like a simple connection).
You only notice on the occasions when it goes wrong :) |
