Then, one day, I was sitting near our new phone and heard "clicking" noises. I picked up the phone and realized IT was dialing... Sure enough, the unknown woman answered with "Office of the Building, etc"

I was startled but managed to ask her if she'd been getting a lot of "hang-ups" lately. She had. Feeling like a lunatic, I explained that it seemed our phone was dailing her phone on its own. TG - she said she'd read about that happening. We decided that my phone was enamoured of her phone as no other explanation presented itself. Glad she had a good sense of humor!

Still can't figure out how our answering machine was able to record her, when the call originated with our phone. Oh, well...

Needless to say - we threw out that phone - and waited YEARS to get another "wireless" - which, so far doesn't have a mind of its own.

I met this guy after work at a local Starbucks. The guy was an ASS and talked to his ex on his cell phone a few times during our date.

Well, afterwards I walked back to my office to get my stuff to go home and when I walked in the door, a co-worker (very good friend) asked how the date went.

That is when I went on a wild tangent describing this guy to a T. I used every cuss word that came to mind and think I even made a few new ones up.

I told her how freakin rude and ignorant he was and disrespectful, etc.

Well, when I walked back to my desk, I heard a voice on my phone say "Thank you. Your voicemail has been sent."

I looked at the call list and apparently my phone dialed this guy while I was going off about him and left every word of it on his voicemail.

I guess my cell phone felt he needed to know that there was no chance in HELL of a second date.

She was out of town for the last few days I was there and my mom called me. I was feeling sad and I was in much pain from delivering him. I cried as I told my mom about the delivery and about how much my hemmroids hurt and what else was going on with my body. This whole time, my friends answering machine was recording this as an out going message. Which I did not know at the time. So for weeks, every time that someone called her house they would hear my conversation with my mom about how painful my hemmroids hurt. Finally someone told my friend about the message that was on her machine. So you can imagine what people thought when they heard that!!! Believe me I was the talk among many that month!!! We still laugh about it to this day. That was 18 years ago. I placed him for adoption, so I have no clue how big he is now. But I do not regret giving him a better life then what I could give to him at that time in my life. Someday soon I pray that I will meet him. I hope you all had a good laugh too out of this one.]]>Jun 12th 2007 10:01PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/http://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/Her phone dialed me and I got to listen to them argue about whose fault it was that they were almost out of gas and nowhere to buy any could be seen.
It was a fairly lively conversation, since he was a Sgt in the USMC and she was the daughter of a First Sergeant in the USMC.
I thouhgt it was a fairly hilarious situation. They did finally find a gas station, luckily.]]>Jun 12th 2007 10:04PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/http://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/Jun 12th 2007 10:10PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/http://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/Jun 12th 2007 10:37PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/http://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/Jun 12th 2007 10:37PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/http://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/Jun 12th 2007 10:58PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/http://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/Jun 12th 2007 11:04PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/http://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/So when I landed and the flight attendant gave the ok to use cell phones, I called him on his cell. Some gentleman answered the phone. I asked for my husband (assuming it was someone he works with) This man said that he was a bartender at a golf clubhouse and the owner of the phone had left it at the bar. He asked what my husbands name was, so that he could return the phone to the rightful owner. I gave him my husband's name, but inside I was doing a slow burn. So much for him being so beat that he just wanted to kick back at home and relax.
As I walked to the baggage area, my cell phone rang, and it was my husband. The first thing out of his mouth was, "Why didn't you call me?" So I replied, with an attitude, "I did call you but you left your phone at the bar!" "What are you talking about?" was his reply. So I told him the story. He told me that he had gotten home, took a shower and saw the time. He knew I had landed a while ago, hadn't heard from me and decided to call. He told me I must have dialed the wrong number. It was impossible since I called from the phone directory stored in the phone.
When I got my phone bill in for the month, I checked the numbers and sure enough, I had connected to someone else's phone number. Somehow two of us on that plane must have dialed at the same time, and the numbers crossed. It gave us quite a chuckle after I showed my husband the phone bill, but not as much as thinking about the poor guy trying to get back his phone and his name wasn't the one I gave the bartender!]]>Jun 12th 2007 11:08PM
