wrong numbers.. what's up with that?

music playing: phones ringing
Now I'm not asking to have a long conversation, nor share 'why did the chicken cross the road' jokes, but if you call my home and/or cell phone by accident, at least be kind enough to say "oops.. sorry about that buddy".
Forgive me for the hat thing, if you wish :)

This last 'wrong number' that I got happened when I was in the shower (ladies... dirty thoughts to yourself).

I'm not the type to say, "oh well, they'll call back"
I'm the type to say, "DUDE, you called my cell, WHADDAP"

As usual, I see the number on my phone, ponder who might be calling (is it a lady?), ponder... ponder... then I call it.

This time A LADY ANSWERS... and so does some guy, (never felt more popular) and I lay my best "someone from this number called my cell". The lady hangs up (bitch) and the guy goes, "oh yeah" then he HUNG UP THE PHONE.
WHAT A DICK!!

C'mon for god sakes!
How anti-social have we become that we can't even make an effort to say something like, "DUDE.... where's my..." [stupid me] I mean, "DUDE.... sorry man"?

Every wrong number that I do answer gets a guy who is willing to take the time out of his busy day to inform them they have dialed the wrong number, but at the same time if they need a friend, I'm here at that 'wrong number'.

Almost as bad are the people who you do speak to and when you inform them of their clerical phone error just hang up instantly. At least that last guy had enough respect for me to say, "oh yeah".

Now I'm defending that guy.... what's up with that?

Anyway... all I ask is that if you call my phone by accident, be kind enough to admit your error and even say bye.

Happiness and Friendliness are sometimes hard to come by, so this could be your first step to becoming a new person.
Next time, instead of hanging up, try saying "HI" cuz you never know the new friends you may find.
