Years ago I was living in an apartment north of NYC and a woman called up insisting she had called a diving school. I verified she’d called my number but she wouldn’t believe i wasn’t a scubva diving school. Finally i said “Look we don’t do that. Not since…the accident.” amazing how fast she hung up.
Back in the day, a friend of mine’s phone number was one digit off the local number for the 700 Club. He’d get calls in the wee small hours from people who’d claim they’d found Jesus.
I live in a place where the metro area is on both sides of a state line. When I was still a productive member of society, one our phones in the lab was the same number as a golf course in the “other state”. That phone would ring pretty much all day with people wanting tee times. We finally had to silence it.

Oh Opus. Just tell him his pizza will be there in 30 minutes or less and hang up.

In college mine was one off from a local Domino’s. I tried to be nice at first, but then started “taking orders.”

How come Opus’ cell phone has a wire going to some weird thing on the desk, which has another wire coming off of it?
