NO I AM NOT SELLING LOBSTERS!!!!!
So I've had my phone number for about 13 months. For most of that time I wasn't getting any wrong number for anything. Then in June I got a few random text messages. A few days later I got a voicemail message about Lobsters. I was a little confused, but I shrugged it off as a wrong number.
Then in the middle of June I got a call from a woman looking for "Lobsters'R'Us" I told her she must have a wrong number. A minute or two later she calls me back. This is the number she was given, and she quotes back my phone number to me. I tell her the person who gave it to her must have gotten the number wrong.
Now at least once a week I get a call from somebody looking for Lobsters! The last person who called, phoned at 7:15am on Tuesday. Now normally I would be in bed by that point, as I work the night shift and I get off at 7am. Luckily for both myself, and the guy who called I was still at work so I didn't feel the urge to flay someone.
The man asks for a man who's name is similar to the man who I bought my from whom I bought my new HTC phone in May. (Please note: when I got the phone there was no SIM card, I picked up a new one from my provider. Plus the number I'm using in the one I've had since last July.) Anyway, I tell him he has a wrong number. He then proceeds to ask me about LOBSTERS!!!!
I told him that I have been getting these calls for a little over a month, despite the fact that I've had this number for well over a year. I ask him to tell anyone else looking for Lobsters that my phone number is the wrong number to call. He then said he would tell the person he got the number from that she has the wrong number.
I thanked the man, and told him to make sure the message reaches everyone.
I swear, if I get another call about Lobsters......
