Anything funny/strange happen to anyone lately?
Yesterday morning at about 5:00, I was rudely awoken by my cell phone going off. I groggily reached over and grabbed it and managed to force out a very confused "Hello?". This girl is on the other line and is asking me about or for something. So I say "What? What do you want?". She repeats herself but I still don't understand. This happens at least four or five more times.
I was really out of it considering it was five in the morning so I figured I couldn't understand because my cell phone has bad reception in my house. So she tells me to call that number on my house phone. I oblige and call her back and that same vicious cycle starts up again. It was at this point that I realize that I have no clue who the hell this person is.
Mind you, I had been on the phone with her for about three or four minutes in a redundant conversation consisting of her wanting something and me not being able to figure out what it is she's saying. Also I remember her saying at one point along the lines of "Please? None of my friends are here (or: all of my friends are gone or something like that)"
So I finally muster enough brilliance to ask who this is. She said her name is Julia which was a coincidence because I happen to not know anyone named Julia. So I ask if she had the right number and who she was looking for. She asks, "Is your last name Rinkle?"
As many of you may know, this is indeed not the case. I inform her of this and she apologizes and promptly hangs up. I was so tired at this point and was kind of angry at the time because it was my first day at a new job and I didn't want to be tired.
Anyways, the moral of the story is:
If you're going to phone someone at 5 in the morning, make sure you have the right number.
