Everyone makes mistakes.

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.

Making the wrong call can be quite embarrassing, but that is all it is.

OP was having a nice sleep when he got woken up by an early call from a stranger.

The OP was quite clear that this wasn’t Lucy and hung up to get back to sleep.

Rather than hearing what OP had said, Terry called again, and this time she got even angrier.

This time, OP decided to have a little fun and play along to see what happened.

OP figured that this was where it would end, but apparently, Terry wasn’t giving up.

Terry went on a whole rant, which the OP had to cut off to give Terry an ultimatum.

Terry blew up when he heard how much OP was asking for, and another guy had to take over the call.

Bill wasn’t sure what was happening and decided to ask the source directly.

This is when Bill realised that the supposed Lucy was actually a guy who desperately wanted to get back to his beauty sleep.

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.

It would have been quite funny if his wife was Lucy.

I hope Terry doesn’t take out her anger on Lucy.

I am sad that we never got the cat tax!

That would be quite dumb on Terry’s part.

I am going to use this the next time.

I’m sure Terry isn’t that stupid.

It would have been funny, but it also would’ve made the story fake.

At least Bill realised that they were talking to the wrong person.

I want to know what happened to Lucy.

It is indeed way too early.
