Way back in December, when we were gone for Christmas, we came home and began listening to our phone messages. Among them was an unknown caller who identified themselves as living in New York and having the same phone number. The caller suggested we call and chat.
Um, no, we didn't return the call.
A few weeks ago they called back. It was after 10:00 pm and the phone rang. We have caller id and it said 'blocked'. My parents have a 'blocked' number, and we were also preparing to leave on our camping trip and I thought it could be either my parents calling (with an emergency, 'cause who calls at that late hour?) or maybe it was a friend calling about our impending trip. So I answered it.
Me: Hello?
Caller: (imagine a strong New York accent) Are you from California?
Me: (starting to remember this caller leaving a message months earlier and thinking maybe it was them) Um, yah.
Caller: Can I sing a song for you? (again with the thick accent)
Me: (matter of factly) No. (it's late, I'm tired and not interested!)
Caller: (as if my response doesn't matter, starts singing) Caaaaa-li-for-niaaaaa..
Me: ( I hang up)
I know, how rude am I? Here my phone number twin is suffering in New York and can't sleep (it was past 1:00 am over there) and I go and hang up! But maybe that's all the person needed to get to sleep.
They never called back.

okay that is creepy!!! And same #? - with different area code? That's just odd!!! They probably had to try several different area codes until they found one that worked. Weird!!!
And why is your parents phone number blocked? Do we need to chat about the importance of family relationships??? :)
Jen....my parents # is 'blocked' because they have it set up that way with the phone company, it's not something I did or can do on our end. :)
That's really creepy! Yikes!
Yeah, that's definitely weird. But at least he was singing and not trying to pant in your ear or something. There are some straaaange people in this world!
weird...hopefully won't call back again!
That's funny!
That's funny!
