I answered the phone to who I thought my was niece Mary.
I asked her what had taken so long for her to ring me and tell me she was having another baby.
It went deathly silent the other end. Then a voice replied, Sylvia I don't know who you are talking to but you have the wrong Mary. I'm not pregnant!
It was my 67 year old neighbour! lmao
Did I feel a fool! xx

Sylvia, that is priceless. I don't feel so bad now. When my grandson was potty training my daughter would call me and put him on the phone right away. He'd always proudly say "Grandma, I made tinkle today." One day, I picked up the phone and it was his voice saying "Hi Grandma". About then, he handed the phone to his father and I said "Hi, did you make tinkle today?" Well, my son-in-law just started laughing and finally said "yes".

Sylvia, I do that all the time here. Half the time I think I am talking to one person through about three emails and it turns out to be some one else. Don't let it worry you, it happens to everyone. Have a better day, do something funny, like answer one of my 83million questions with a goofy answer. That will perk you up!!!

I once spent ten minutes talking to an unseen minor bird at the back door of a Pub too the great amusement of the people in the public bar.

Yup! I was being flippant to whom I thought was my mate, and answered the phone saying "Carstairs home for wicked women"?
and after a moments silence..a voice said"Well, this is your doctor".......I didn't hear the rest, I threw the phone down....then very,very,pathetically rang him up to apologise,...he couldn't stop laughing..thank goodness he's got a good sense of humour. I think I've learned a valuable lesson...lol

i might so like to throw my cellular telephone and my headset out the window yet i'm required to have it for paintings so that they are able to computer virus me 24 hours an afternoon; even on trip.... i HATE the stupid telephone... and that i take advantage of the headset because of the fact that is have been given slightly much less radiation than preserving the stupid cellular telephone against the fringe of my head... although.. i'm a douchbag and fairly in all probability schizophrenic so.. i assume that is real....

Yes! There are people who do not sound the same in person, but sound the same over the phone. I've learned to be polite to everybody, especially if the call wakes me up!

Sylvia... I have caller ID... however, If I don't have my glasses on? Well then it's a pot shot... Glad your 67 year old neighbor wasn't pregnant, I bet she was glad too!

My worst experience with this was when my husband was out of town on business, and when I answered the phone, it was his son (my stepson) but the two fellows sound exactly alike, and we hadn't been married long, and I started to talk kind of sexy.......... Thankfully, the young man quickly told me who he was before I got too carried away!

All the time!
I always make mistakes whilst sending text messages as well, once I sent a text that was supposed to go to my boyfriend, it went to my brother ( Their names are the same. ) Very embarrassing! Luckily there was nothing bad in the text!
