WTF...

sometimes i wonder about how little people really listen. recently, i had been getting calls on my cell for someone named Charles. surprisingly, each time the call has come in, i have not had it on; these people have been getting my voicemail.

wouldn't you think that if you called a number a few times and the voicemail was someone else, you may have the wrong number? i mean, unless Charles is gay and shares a phone with his partner, has a roommate that he didn't inform you (of), or has identity issues...this Spencer guy is not his answering service! the whole fiasco is a bit amusing though. from the messages, i have found out that some gal owes Charles money and that he gets offers of borrowing a van on occasion.

and wouldn't you know it, just days ago the problem was solved in a super long message that was left by two people (an old lady and a man) who were using three way conference calling. did they realize that their whole conversation was recorded on my voicemail? apparently, granny had reversed the last two numbers of Charles' phone and got me instead. damn, lady. to how many people did you pass my number?!?

maybe i should leave a new voicemail:

this is SPEN-CER...NOT Charles...
if you would like to reach Charles, his number ends with 8774...NOT 8747!
SPENCER...the guy with this number...would really appreciate it if you no longer leave granny in charge of phone numbers for the clan. moreover, if this lady is still driving, do everyone a favor and take the keys away - she is not the most lucid of individuals.

ah well, at least the messages had some entertainment value. after all, it coulda been spam. talk about a time waster...
