Toad in the Hole.

"Good afternoon, XYZ Publ..."

"Yes. I'd like to buy some toads in holes."

"I'm sorry, but we are a publishing company, and do not produce food items."

"Then why was I given your number?"

"I'm afraid I cannot answer that, as I do not know. Who passed the number to you, and I'll be sure to let them know?"

"Where can I buy a toad in a hole?"

"I don't know, sorry."

"Well aren't you going to find out for me?"

"No. Good bye now."

*click*

It's been a long day.

*sigh* They're out there, unfortunately. The really sad thing is that people like that are often to be found in positions of authority.

Mine was:

Me: "Good afternoon, XYZ Veterinary Surgeons"

Caller: "No, you're on the wrong number"

Haha! Yes, it's always *your* fault, isn't it?

It's worse when I'm calling my parents house and my grandmother answers.

"Hello"

"Hi Grandma it's Rob"

"No, Rob doesn't live here anymore"

and the conversation generally loops from there...
