Not really an aibu, but I am a bit annoyed as I felt as though she didn't believe me/didn't give a shit.
For about a year now, every so often I come home to an answerphone message from a GP surgery a few miles away. The message isn't for me it's for a 'Mrs Joan Smith', we'll call her. Each time it's been too late to call them back and I'd forgotten by the next day.
The last time it happened I remember to call them earlier in the day to let them know that they had the wrong number for Joan Smith. But the lady I spoke to told me that they didn't have my phone number on record at all. I thought nothing more of it.
Then today I just got a phonecall, I picked up and some was asking to speak to 'Mrs Smith' and she said she was calling from Abby Surgery. I started to explain how I was receiving several calls and I wasn't Mrs Smith, but I reliased she couldn't hear me and was talking to someone else, presumably Mrs Smith about making an appointment. I couldn't hear the other side of the call only the receptionist.
Anyway I called them straight back and told them what had just happened and the person I spoke to told me that they don't even have a Mrs Smith on register and perhaps I'd phoned the wrong surgery. I absolutely hadn't as I was calling the same number that had called me, I have caller ID, plus I asked to clarify was this Abby Surgery and it was.
She blatently thought I was bonkers.
No idea what could cause this, I had my line checked recently for crossed lines as I was hearing a beeping and ringing when I was on the phone and Sky said that the line was fine.
Weird huh? And a bit bad that the surgery don't seem to care that I'm getting Joan Smiths calls.
