Do I sound like a Courtney to you? No? I didn't think so either.
To complement my 3 text messages from yesterday, I received 3 calls today.
"Hello, may I speak to Courtney?" Today I'm going with a 12-14 year old girl as my caller.
"I'm sorry, you've got the wrong number," I replied.
"Oh, sorry," she said before hanging up.
I put my cell on the desk and it started to vibrate again.
"Hello, may I speak to Courtney?" the same girl asked.
"No, this is the wrong... what number are you dialing?"
"***-****," she replied.
"Well, that's this number, but she's not here. It's the wrong number," I concluded.
"Oh, ok. Sorry."
I set my phone down and resumed reading several mind-numbing web pages with blog hacks outside of my template tweaking comfort zone. Five minutes later, my phone buzzed again.
"Hello, may I speak to Courtney?" the same girl asked.
Dude, take a hint. You're killing me here. "I'm sorry, you've..."
"The wrong number," she interjected with recognition. "Sorry."
Sigh. It's just my luck to have the number of some popular pre-/early teen girl. Courtney, no less.

This made me giggle. My grandfather's name is Courtney.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's even better, lol.
ReplyDeleteAt least you didn't get the final call:
ReplyDelete"Hi, this is Courtney, did anyone call for me?"
Poor Courtney. She's missing her calls...
ReplyDeleteOr else she gave the wrong number out because this stupid girl keeps bugging her.
Julia- Shh, it's like you're tempting the gods.
ReplyDeleteSam- If Courtney has a cell, she must have email, right? The main thing is that the caller knew she wasn't getting through. I hate getting voice mails for wrong numbers. I should start a tally of them all.
