phone calls

my poor friend gets stuck answering phones at her company every once in awhile - well more often than she'd like - and there is never a shortage of idiot callers. they are literally comical!

"hello, <company name>"
"can I speak to <person no longer at company>?"
"sorry, no one here by that name"
"well, how do you know?"

there are lots and lots of scenarios like this, they crack me up! especially dreaming of responses like

"I actually make up this shit on my own"

"how do _I_ know? how DO I know? HOW do I know? how do I KNOW?" ::wait for them to hang up::

The receptionist at our company said she gets calls all the time of people asking for "Charles Robert Darwin" ... hahahahahahaha (Charles Robert Darwin is the name of the street our company is on)
