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?  :)
