Do you have peoples names saved as something other than their real name?  So when they ring you their 'new' name shows up on screen?

 

I know people have 'the hubby' and stuff but anything other than that?

 

I ask because my partners annoying as f**k dad has just rung me....on the home phone so I didn't even see his number come up  but it wouldn't have mattered anyway coz he's changed it.  He rings to tell me to tell the OH that when he's visiting tomorrow can he ring first coz he has 'such a bad ear infection I'm nearly deaf'  although not once did he ask me to repeat myself when we were talking.  Anyyyywayyyyy.....he gave me his new number and I saved it in my phone as 'Don't Answer'  least now when the kids lift my mobile when it rings they'll see that they aren't to answer it

 

Genius!

I have Mr Cinds in as Husband.  Master Cinds is in as Bert and this picture pops up on the screen when he calls.  This is because he looks exactly like that in his latest passport photo.

 

I also have someone in my phone under the name 'smelly machine'  I don't know who it is, it's a customer, but I don't know their real name.

 I never thought of having a ringtone for the OHs da, I think the Jaws or Psycho theme tune would suit.

I'm getting the distinct impression that you aren't too keen on you FiL, Ells.

And does the customer have a smelly machine?  What kind of machine is it?

I don't know whether it's smelly or not.  But when he rang it was to report a breakdown and the office phones divert to my mobile if they ring more than a certain number of times.  I was out shopping and had no pen with me so stored his number in my phone under 'smelly machine' because he said his pressure washer was not pumping properly and had a funny smell.

And he definitely didn't think he was phoning his GP? 

  That's even funnier because our office number is almost the same as the local GP's (2 digits around the other way) so we are always getting calls for them.  I almost had a bloke come in for a full physical 

 

But my favourite one ever was some woman rang to make an appointment.  Mr Cinds very politely told her she had the wrong number, that's when things went wrong.  

 

She started arguing with him that she did NOT have the wrong number etc etc, it went on for a few minutes him telling her she did indeed have the wrong number and her screaming down the phone at him (I could hear her from t'other side of office).  Anyway, it ended with Mr C saying 'Look I'm no medical expert, but I can diagnose over the phone that your problem is you have your head stuck firmly up your arse' and then hung up on her.

  Great diagnosis!

 

 

Years ago, we had nearly the same number as a local garage, which also had the same name as our surname.

I can't tell you how many men I accidentally booked in for a full service!
