I have a great wrong number story! A few years ago, I received a call from a number I didn’t recognize. The person on the other end started chatting about a surprise birthday party they were planning for someone named “Jake.” Curious, I played along, pretending to be part of the planning team.
As the conversation unfolded, it turned out that this was going to be an epic surprise with friends coming from all over the country. The caller, who introduced themselves as “Megan,” was so enthusiastic and full of ideas that I found myself giving suggestions. We spent nearly an hour discussing themes, venues, and even cake flavors!
Just when I thought I would reveal the mix-up, I hesitated. This was way too fun! Plus, I figured it would make a great story to share. So, I continued to help Megan with her plans, as if I were an excited friend.
Eventually, she asked for my number to keep me updated. I decided to give her a fake name and number, saying I would keep helping her out with ideas. Later that evening, I sent her a text saying, “Hope the party goes well! Let me know how it turns out!”
To my surprise, she texted back, saying that I had been an amazing help, and that her group would share pictures after the party. I guess I’ll never know if she ever found out the truth, but that wrong number turned out to be one of the most unexpectedly fun experiences I’ve ever had!
