We’ve all been there—the moment we make a decision we later regret. Making a bad decision, whether it’s a minor oversight or a major error, is a universal experience that shapes who we are. However, there is another type of wrong call: dialling the wrong number. I mean, who among us has not accidentally called a stranger while calling our parents? And then you proceeded to tell them something personal, unaware that you were essentially telling your stories to complete strangers.
However, this type of mistake usually leaves people feeling embarrassed and wanting to drown in a puddle. Not only that, but you usually figure out that you dialled the wrong number within the first few minutes. At least that is what usually happens, as in the following story, Karen, who called the wrong number, ended up arguing with a complete stranger for quite some time before realising her mistake.

I believe the OP escalated the situation more than was necessary. I am not claiming that it is not the woman’s fault. However, the OP could have clearly informed them that he did not work there. Even if he just wanted to have some fun, I believe he should have called back and explained everything so that the actual employee did not get into trouble. After all, Karen appears to be the type of person who takes out her frustration on the first person she sees.
