Me: "I dont think that'll be a problem because we don't do any work as a courier now... where did you get this number?"
her: "you're listed in the thomson local as a courier"
me: "I'm afraid we're not love, we do vinyl artwork and clothing"
her: "so why have you listed yourself as a courier then?"
Me: "we haven't, someone's obviously put the wrong number in, or someones pinched my identity... where abouts are you?"
her: "Why do you need to know that?"
me: "because I need to know where you're calling from"
her: "I don't know if I want to tell you"
Me: "Well how are we going to pick these items up if you don't tell me?"
her: "oh I'm in cornwall dear, I thought you said you weren't a courier?"
me: "I'm not, but now I can get in touch with thomson local and tell them there's a courier in cornwall who's using my phone number"...
possibly the wierdest phone call I've had for about 6 months...

I used to get calls like that when I worked somewhere that had a phone no very simililar to British Gas.
Customer: "Is that British Gas"
Me: "No, sorry, you have the wrong number"
Customer: "It's my boiler you see, it isn't working properly"
Me: "I'm sorry, I can't help you, this is not British Gas, you have the wrong number"
Customer: "Well you're not being very helpful are you, I pay you lots for maintainence and you won't come and fix it"
Me: "That's because you have the wrong number. We sell cars. You need a plumber, and need to call British Gas if you have a contract with them"
Customer: "Well my boiler isn't working, and my heating won't come on"
Me: "This is not British Gas. You have called the wrong number. Please hang up and call British Gas"
Customer: "I don't know why I pay you, you're just being rude"
Me: "Goodbye......"
Don't you love old dears
