I'm ok with the people that are at least polite when they've misdialed. Many asked if they had the right # and some didn't. Those people were given the right number and most apologized for the wrong number. I always said it was ok we all misdial now and then. But......

Some of the Taxi people used to get furious with us for not being the taxi company. For a brief time I'd tell the grouchy ones that it wasn't my fault they were too stupid to dial a phone. We got to the point with the taxi people that we started simply saying "ok, we'll be right over" and hanging up.

The motorcycle ones were funnier. One woman called going off about her sons KZX 750 or something. Apparently it hadn't gotten fixed for a couple weeks. When I asked her what a KZX750 was she said "it's a motorcycle you imbecile! " Then I got to tell her that If I was the motorcyle place I wouldn't have answered with a different company name and that maybe she should think about that - And yes, the phrase "you imbecile" got a second use during the same conversation. I kinda felt bad for the motorbike people once she figured out what their number was.

I'm slightly less cranky now.
