What’s the strangest wrong number / wrong email message you’ve received? Just got an email for a high school senior who passed a ballet audition and was invited to participate in a summer program...

I got a call from a wedding venue... for my ex-girlfriend’s wedding to her new boyfriend.

In a freudian slip, she had wrote my contact information down on the venue reservation form.

I say this as someone who just booked my wedding venue and looked at several beforehand. Never in a million years would I have accidentally put an ex down. It’s nearly impossible.

Opened a bible for the first time in over a decade one night after a convo with my then fiancé about if we would get married in a church. The next day I got a wrong number text from a nun/sister along the lines of hearing about my injury and praying for me. I told them they had the wrong number, explained the odd timing, and hoped their friend was okay. They said something along the lines of “prayers sometimes find those that need it most or don’t know they need it.”

I know this isn’t what you asked but what was the program? Can you let them know they called the wrong person? When I was auditioning if you didn’t respond they would move on to fill the spot so don’t let this person lose their spot! 🤞🏼

My childhood home phone number was misprinted as a neighboring towns Pizza Hit in the phone book’s business section.
My mom and dad would answer the phone “Hello?”.... “Pick up or delivery? Extra cheese, got it... Ok, 25 minutes. Thank you.”
We jokingly still answer each others calls “Pizza Hut”.

Every few years I started getting the Nickelback newsletter in my personal email. I unsubscribed every time.

Eventually I brought this up with a high school friend in passing, and discovered the same was happening to him.

Someone in our friend group had been signing us up for almost a decade before we figured it out.

That had a deadline to respond. I hope the person has an alternative method of contacting the right individual since it sounded kind of prestigious and not like spam

Turns out they left off a number in the email and got me instead. Email’s off to the right person!

I was sent a heart-felt poem, two days later asked if I wanted to meet a female client later that night

I randomly got a "sorry, can't talk right now" text the other day from an unknown number. No prior history of calls or texts to/from that number.

I got a belated birthday text for some chick named Gabby. First of all, this friend of Gabby’s had the wrong number, and second, Gabby’s friend missed her birthday.

A 40+ yo black woman wished me happy Mother’s Day. I am a 26 y/o asian male.

The polite response is “Thanks, you too!” 😁

My phone number was associated with an asphalt company about 15 years ago. Still get sales calls from ancient marketing lists.

Some woman who shares my first name has incorrectly used my email address. Unfortunately for her all of her notices about her zero balance at Wells Fargo are going to the wrong person.

Somebody with a similar name has signed up for loyalty shopper programs with Harbor Freight and PetsMart. I’ve cashed in their bonus points directed to my gmail account,

My cell phone number was added to a child’s school record in the local school district. I don’t have kids.

Kept receiving messages that my child (by name) had an overdue lunch balance, that “there is a bear in the area”, or my child did not report to school that day.

School district didn’t seem too concerned when I called them to remove my phone number from the account as I had to call back on 4 separate occasions.
