Phone Fun or "Did you order a pizza?"

In response to the petition to get me to start a blog here we go. As the title suggests this will be a collection of random thoughts plus some of the the things that happen to me day to day.
  

  

For my first post I have to tell you about my drive home from work today. We did have a delay waiting at a C-Train Crossing. The arm came down but never went up. After a long wait people started getting out of their cars and held the arms up so other people could drive under them. I could just imagine them holding it up when a train was really coming by.
  

That's actually not the story I wanted to tell but it was a funny experience watching these folks holding up the arms. 

  

Later in our commute my cell phone rang. I answered and someone in broken english asked "Did you ordered a pizza?" I simply said no and said they must have the wrong number and hung up. 
  

After I hung up I thought it would have been funny if I would have asked the person if the pizza was already paid for and if it was have them deliver it to our place. Candi and I had a good laugh about thinking about doing that if we ever got another call from a pizza place. 
  

A couple minutes later my phone rang again. It was the same person asking me if I ordered a pizza. BINGO! This time I asked if I had already paid for the pizza. The person was obviously confused and asked if I was Serena. I said I wasn't and and said that they must have the wrong number. The person then got upset with me and said that he had the right number because it was written on the order. He confirmed that he did dial the number he had on the order but I assured him that I was not Serena and that I did not know a Serena and that no one at my cell phone number ordered a pizza.
   

Candi and I had a good laugh about this because as Candi said "You don't sound like a Serena." 
  

Guess what happened a few minutes later. Another phone call. This time the person speaks english and said "This is Pizza 73 calling to confirm our order." I told him that I did not order pizzas. (Ironically the order was for 2 large Hawaiian Pizza's - what do they call these in Hawaii?) This person asked to speak to Serena. I said that there was no Serena at this number. Then I asked if Serena had already paid for the pizzas and if they were going to deliver them. He said no and that is why they were calling. I said I was just joking and told him again that I hadn't ordered a pizza. He said that this was the phone number he had on the order. I said it is the wrong number and explained that this was my work phone number. Then he asked something that made me laugh. "If you don't want a pizza then why did you call?"
  

Me: "I didn't call - you called me". 
  

Him: "Are you sure Serena isn't there?"
  

Me: "No, this is my work cell phone." Then I got a great idea - I'll sell him EasyMax. "Have you ever heard of EasyMax?
  

Him: "No"
 

Me: "How much do you pay for electricity?"
  

Him: "I have to go" and then he hangs up.
   

Now I know how to have some fun with wrong numbers and those pesky telemarketers. Try to sell them something first. I can't wait for the next telemarketer to call so I can try it out. I might even get some sales.
