[livejournal.com profile] simont ‘Hello?’
Caller ‘Yeah, can I have two poppadoms, a naan and …’
[livejournal.com profile] simont ‘You have seriously got the wrong number.’
Caller ‘Oh man, really?’
[livejournal.com profile] simont ‘Yeah, you've got the wrong number.’
Caller ‘Oh, I was after the curry place in Cambridge.’
[livejournal.com profile] simont ‘Er, there are quite a lot of them. This is a Cambridge number, but it's not a curry place.’
Caller ‘Can you just … give me a curry anyway? There's quite a lot of money for you here.’

I had a wrong number call from a deaf person a week ago - the operator had to type everything I said back to them. Interesting in and of itself but much slower than normal wrong number calls.

Well, you can't fault them on lack of continued trying grounds.
