One of the stranger phone calls I’ve taken this week.
[Ring ring]
Me: Hello?
Caller: May I speak with Geoffrey please?
Me: This is Geoff.
Caller: Michael asked me to tell you to be at McDowell and 33rd at 11:00.
Me: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Caller: Is this Geoffrey?
Me: Yes.
Caller: You spoke with Michael last week. From McDowell and 33rd? He’d like you there at 11:00.
Me: I don’t know who Michael is.
Caller: [aside] Ok, Michael, he says he doesn’t know what this is about.
Michael: [aggressively] Hi, Geoffrey? Listen, we talked last week. I need you there at 11:00, understand?
Me: Michael, I have no idea who you are.
Michael: [hangs up]
I assume this was a very unlucky wrong number but I can’t shake the feeling I just forgot about something I was suppose to do. This also perfectly illustrates the plight of someone who’s one phone rings for business, personal, and church with no context.
