Our old voice phone number was one off from a local lumber company.
Most of the calls were if they were open. I was awful tempted
sometimes to give them the wrong info.
LOL. I just remembered, my wife's number when she was a teen was one
off of the local pizzeria; when she was feeling particularly
mischievous, (and she recognized the voice, it was a small town)
she'd
take the order. :-)
When living in CA, our home was one no. off from a nearby medical
practice.
One time the inerrant caller was convinced that she had the right
no. AND
that I was the party (the MD) she was trying to reach- I was so-o-o
tempted
to pretend I was (well, I AM a Dr., but not that kind) until I
found out the
specialty involved was gynecology - definitely wrong no.!
Ah, phone memories....
I had the Mayor's office in New Rochelle, NY. Once a caller accused
me of being a secretary trying to dodge calls from constituents :.}
Those were the days of Dial-up on my Quadra 840AV, I wonder how many
people thought that the Mayor needed more phone lines in his office...
