Wrong number
I wanted to make a call to a friend today but I dialled the wrong number. Yes, I am one of those few endangered ones who still key in the phone number manually if it's a number that I deem important enough for me to remember (meaning: good friend). Hey, cut me a break, I have not called her in ages so I keyed one of the numbers wrongly.
Luckily, I realised my mistake after the third ring (friend's name did not show up on the handphone). So I ended the called before the other party had a chance to pick up. You know how it's like, u get a missed call from a strange number and then u call back only to have the other party say "Sorry ah, wrong number leh." Irritating right?
So being the kind soul that I am, I sent an sms to the 'wrong number' with the following message: "Sorry, I called the wrong number. :)", thinking that after seeing the sms, the other party would not have to call back.
Boy, was I wrong. Two minutes later, I got a call from 'wrong number'. Immediately, my first thought was to press the 'reject' button but I realised that it would be quite rude. So, I did the inevitable, I answered the call.
Wrong number: "Hello, who's that?"
Me: "Sorry, I pressed the wrong number just now."
Wrong number did not give up, continues with line of questioning.
Wrong number: "Who's that please?"
Me: "I called wrongly just now. Sorry"
Wrong number: "Who are u?"
Relentless.
Me: "Wrong number lar!"
Wrong number: "Oh."
'Wrong number' must have thought I was some mysterious gal trying to play a prank on him. Oh, did I forgot to mention 'wrong number' was a cute (sounding) guy? :)
