My number is very close to the exchange number and people misdial me all the time trying to reach a local massage therapist. People leave messages asking to cancel, reschedule, or make appointments. It's really annoying and one person was so persistently dialing the wrong number I called them back and told them the reason they weren't getting a call back wasn't that the masseuse was ignoring them.

I once dialed a local number and somehow managed to get connected to a woman vacuuming her living room in Christchurch, New Zealand.

The telco blamed it on a switching problem.

That is a great story though.
