  • I am VERY disappointed!!!

    Just a few minute ago my co-worker was checking the voicemail box at [hospital site] and I was startled to hear the beginning of a very angry voicemail.

    Angry Woman: I am VERY disappointed!! I called LAST WEEK and no one has returned my call!! I was a patient there for TWO WEEKS...." *coworker picked up the handset, cutting off the speakerphone*

    CW: This woman again?!?! *angrily jots down a message*

    I'm not entirely sure what this was about, but it seems that this isn't the first time this woman has called.

    Just one problem.....

    She's calling the WRONG NUMBER!!!!

    Did anyone else hear the thread title in the voice of the Martian from the Bugs Bunny cartoons?

        I heard that in the Caillou narrator's voice.

        Caillou was dissapointed he couldn't work a telephone.
        Caillou was dissapointed no one would talk to him.
        Caillou was dissapointed that he had to stay in the hospital for two weeks.

        Caillou was very dissapointed.

          We had voicemails like that from complete strangers....at HOME.

          Once a woman left a message telling us to "stop calling her." She gave her name and phone number and said she lived in St. Louis, and she wanted us to leave her alone. One problem: We don't know anyone in St. Louis...never have. I even checked the phone bills (it was a landline). No calls to St. Louis. She must have dialed wrong, and I didn't bother calling back because I didn't want to pay long distance rates to tell some goofball that I hadn't been calling her.

          Gotta love people who make angry calls without checking to make sure they're dialing the right place!
          When you start at zero, everything's progress.

            We get messages for other people left on our answering machine all the time..... despite the announcement clearly saying who we are (not just the phone number). I am honestly surprised they have the wherewithal to operate a phone at all....
            There's no such thing as a stupid question... just stupid people.

              Or, in some cases, they simply keep hitting "redial" on the phone and it dials the last number called.

              I swear that must have been what that woman was doing the night she kept calling the 2nd landline looking for "Betty." She kept calling right back - I lost count after 6 or 8 times (wouldn't even have time to sit back down before the damned phone would ring again!!! )

              So the last time she called, I had already lost patience (and I don't have much to begin with and she'd not only been calling repeatedly that night but was calling periodically for several weeks prior to this)

              I screamed into the receiver "BETTY IS NOT HERE!!!! SHE'S AT FRED'S HOUSE MAKING THE BED ROCK!!!"

              I cut the phone off and never heard back from her again . . . .

                  The quote in that scene is "I am a little disappointed."
