Every now and then, numbers get crossed, mix ups happen. My phone number belonged to a "David" before it became mine, and although I've had this number for 14 years, I still get calls for "David ".
Yesterday, I got a text that said "Where are you? I'm getting off the plane." Since I'm not expecting anyone, I texted back "wrong number ".
"Hey Rachel , This is Alyssa here. My personal phone is dead and I am using business phone. I have landed at LAX Airport and Waiting for you."
My reply: "Area code 480 is phoenix area. Wrong number."
"Oh Sorry. This is so embarrassing. I'm really sorry for inconvenience. I had arrived from my 16 hours flight from Hong Kong. I was Trying to reach out my assistant and I think I put some digits wrongly due to jet lag. I hope I didn't bother you in any way."
My reply: "No problem! Welcome to LA! "
This odd little interaction made me smile. And I hope Alyssa found Rachel!!
