"Shit, when did this happen, what did she do?" I heard her yell to someone saying that her mom is in the hospital again. I told her Idon't know what happend and that I had to go and I quickly hung up. I felt like a total idiot. I guess
she had a daughter and she was a mom with a mom. I felt pretty stupid. So now I look at the phone nuber I typed in before I call it.

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. LOL]]>Jun 12th 2007 9:32PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/http://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/
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.
LMAO]]>Jun 12th 2007 9:41PMhttp://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 9:45PMhttp://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 9:59PMhttp://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 10:01PMhttp://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/http://www.switched.com/2007/06/12/the-scourge-of-accidental-dialing/I had just had a baby and I was staying at my friends house while I was recovering ( he was 15 pounds & 23 1/2 inches long). 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 15th 2007 11:10PM
