Tumblings of a Northerner

I must remember to say the right thing

• RING RING...
• Me: Hello?
• Caller: Oh hello, is that Johnny?
• Me: No, it's Chris.
• Caller: Oh, is Johnny there?
• Me: No.
• Caller: Oh right! What time will he be back?
• Me: Sorry, what I should have said is, 'you must have dialed the wrong number.'
• Caller: Oh — so is this, ##########7?
• Me: No you dialed a 1 at the end not a 7.
• Caller: Oh riiiiiight!
• Me: Yeah. Is there anything else I can help you with?
• Caller: Oh! No! Okay then, byeeee!
• Me: Cheerio.
• I felt like asking if I could take a message — I wish I had.
