When I was in college, I had a number that was a pair of digits off from the hospital information line. When people wouldn't believe me that they had the wrong number and had reached a college student, I'd calmly hit the icon on my computer that connected to the internet (this back in the 14.4 modem dialup era) and held my ear away from the phone. Somehow that usually got the message through.

yeah, that guy who called my cell phone at three am saying, "yo, you got any? I got some cash, call me back?" I'm not calling that guy back.

I usually call them back if it was a girlfriend/boyfriend/husband/wife and if it is a girl, say I am the new man. If it's a guy, I say he's gone gay and he's with men now. It's fun.

I get those random messages every once in a while. I haven't called one back yet.

I used to get several 2 am booty calls for some ho-bag named Stacy. They never got the hint when I told them that she no longer had that number, so I changed strategy. After the guy asked for Stacy, I'd tell him that she was about to have her baby, and then I'd ask who was calling. Funny how they would never call back again after that.

i don't know that this is a moral question. i guess i would have to ask myself "what would i have done to me, if the situation were reversed?", then proceed from there.

Jerry, can you meet me after work?

It is immoral to listen to messages that are not for you. I hit delete as soon as they ask for someone who doesn't live here.

I don't usually, but a couple months ago I had some guy who kept calling and leaving voicemails for someone named Jerry. Asking Jerry to call him back, asking Jerry to meet him. I finally called and told him he had the wrong number because 1) he was bugging the shit out of me and 2) GOD FORBID HE SHOULD NEVER GET TO HOOK UP WITH GODDAMN JERRY.

I once got a message from someone who was trying to call his brother to tell him their father died. That thing was hilarious with the guy begging his brother to come back home to his family and stuff.

LOL. then another time at work i returned some moving company's call to let them know there was no john doe there and i didn't want john doe's stuff to get sent back or abandoned or delivered to the wrong place or...

Well, they were either drunk or stoned out of their mind.

UPS left a message on my cell last week and said they were delivering a package that had to be signed for. They would be there sometime between 8am and 7pm.

I wasn't expecting a package. No one ever showed up. I guess it was a wrong number.

Save the numbers and drunk dial them back so they see how it feels.

Re: Moral Question of the day

feeds@yuku.com (Jewel) — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 13:28:48 GMT

No, I probably would not. I haven't gotten any wrong numbers on my cell yet.

I did get an unintelligible voice mail once.

If someone is about to be born or about to die...call back.
If someone keeps dialing your number by mistake...call back.
If someone on the other line sounds cute and easy...call back.
Just about everything else...don't sweat it.

I must get five wrong # phone calls a day on my cell. If someone leaves a message on my voicemail thinking I'm someone else, am I morally obligated to return their phone call and tell them?
