Actual phone conversation from earlier today:
*phone rings*
Me: "Hello?"
Caller: "Is Dottie there?"
Me: "No, I'm sorry you have the wrong number there is no Dottie here."
Caller: "Well this is the last listed number I have for Dottie Lastname."
Me: "From how long ago, we've had this number for six years?"
Caller: "From 1994. How did we spell her name? Was it Dottie L-A-S-T.....?"
Me (interrupting): "I don't know, there is NO Dottie here and I never knew a Dottie!"
Caller: "Sorry then, thank you"
*hang up*
WTF? About 3 years ago I had received these mysterious calls for Dottie, then they stopped for a while. Now we're averaging about one a week. Next time someone calls, I'm going to ask who they are and spell it out that Dottie is not here and apparently she no longer is reachable at this number. If the above conversation is any indication, I may have to speak slowly.
