My mother gave me a list of people to call after her surgery. I called this guy named Bob (I have no idea who he is). I read the number to be XXX-XXX-9139. So I called it and left a message with the man's wife. She seemed to have no idea what I was talking about. I asked if this was Bob XXXX's number and she said yes. So I repeated what I had said and she said she'd give him the message.
A couple hours later my cell phone rings with "Blocked Caller" listed. I answered it and the woman asked me if I called this number that it was on her callerID. I said, I made some calls this morning but I didn't think that was one of them. I also told her that the phone had been in the bottom of my purse and it might have been an accident.
On my way to pick up DD the phone rings again with "Blocked Caller" again. It was Bob. He asked if I called and left a message with his wife about someone being in the hospital. I told him I did. When he got home his wife asked him if there was anything he needed to tell her b/c of my phone call. He told me that I might have ruined his marriage. Apparently his wife thought he was having an affair and LEFT HIM. I told him that he could have her call me and I'd try to straighten it out.
After that I looked at the number again. I guess it was actually XXX-XXX-9134. Oops!!!!
So I called the right number and asked to speak with Bob. Bob is actually a woman. I explained what happened to her and asked her that if Bob called me back, would she call his wife (so her number would come up on the callerID) and explain this mix up to his wife if she didn't believe me.
What are the chances that my wrong number would have 2 people named BOB???? I know it's a common name, but wow....
Anyway, I haven't heard from Bob's wife yet.
