Wrong numbers and the people that answer them...

So here I am, needing to call my friend who just moved to a new apt. I lost his cell number but presumably had his apt. phone number, so I call the number up and here's how it played out:
Old man (OM for short): Hello
Me: Hey, is Steve there?
OM: What number are you calling?
Me: ###-####.
OM (In a sarcastic/mad tone): Did you even bother to look this number up?
Me: uh, no.
OM: I've had this number for 20 years now, jesus.
OM hangs up phone
Like 
Who does that? Was I in the wrong here? You know, a simple you got the wrong number would have sufficed, not the whole speech of you should have looked up the number before you called me.
Anyone ever had anything like this happen to them?

I just called the number today that an acid dealer gave me at Nocturnal, and it turned out to be a wrong number. No acid for me.

The worst is when you get a wrong number but the name is the same. I remember somebody called looking for Andrew and I said "Hey man what's up" thinking it was another friend as it sounded just like him.
Him- "What are you doing?" Me- "i don't know yet, come over and we'll go get high somewhere. Did you get those shrooms by the way?" Him- "What?!" Me- "What's wrong?" Him- "Who is this?" That was when I realized it wasn't my friend me- "Uh who is this?" Him-"This is Rob" Me-."......sorry Rob" and hung up.

I have a friend from Orlando. Orlando has 2 area codes. My friend's phone number is the same as one of the Disney catalog phone numbers, except with the other area code. He gets like 2-3 calls a week at least from disgruntled customers and people trying to order mickey mouse snow globes HAHAHA. It's just too funny.

Heh. I used to live in an apartment where my phone number was only one digit different from the local Blockbuster Video. After a while I caught on and started fucking with people. It usually went a little like this...
Me: Hello WN (Wrong Number): Uhhh...is this Blockbuster? Me: Yeah. WN: Do you have a copy of [insert new movie release here] in? Me: Just one left. WN: Oh man! Can you hold it for me? Me: Well, we don't usually hold movies. How soon can you get here? WN: I can be there in 10 minutes. Me: OK. I'll hold it for 10 minutes if you can get here. WN: Thanks! Me: Just ask for [insert randomn name here] when you get here. WN: Thanks again. Me: But hurry. This ones a hot item this weekend. WN: I'm on my way. -click-
I sometimes felt bad.....sometimes!

Wrong numbers are great.
They can turn into random convo, and anytime a random convo ensues is a good time.
Telemarketers are the best.
Tonite my response was 'too busy, I'm watching gilmore girls.'
Oh yeah.

Someone called my cell phone today and it was a wrong number. I didn't answer it when they called, but then called them back. It was just a lady. Pretty boring so I hung up
