I jus had to share this wonderful bit of life... I'm sitting at home watching Darren Brown, and the home phone rings. I pick up, and an unfamiliar voice says "hi, it's Fred, i'm just outside your door" I floundered... the voice was not familiar, but I do know a Fred, my garndad. But i was not expecting him... was it him? I decided this was the only explination, that it was him, and he didn't sound like him beause of thw cold and wind and general outsidey noises. I said oh, er, ok, just a sec and hung up.
So i go and open the door, and there's no one there, just a unrecognisable man walking past who was probably quite freaked out by me opening the door as he walked past, staring at him for a bit and then closing it again :p
I go inside and think for a bit. It must have coincidently been a wrong number that had a name of someone i would consider as a possible visitor. not hard, i know lots of differently named poeple i spose, but it just seemed oddly coincidental all the same.
About 5 minutes later, the phone rings again. I answer. The same voice says in an unsure voice "is that pam?" i reply "no, sorry, i thought i knew you when we spoke before, but i didn't, obviously, cause your not here, erm..." at this point i'm thinking sreat. i'm apologising to a stranger for not being another stranger and opening an unknown door, my life is so odd. He then replies "no, i did wonder, ok, bye". Genius. we both shared a conversation where we thought each other was and could sound like someone we knew a little bit, and decided at the same time probably it wasnt after waiting eithr outside a door or inside one for about 5 minutes like idiots.
excellent :)
