Random Phone Call

I'm sharing this because I found it all rather entertaining.

This morning I got a phone call from a cell number, no name associated. This was the basic conversation:

Me: "Hello," pause, "Hello?"
Caller: "Hi?"
Me: "Hi."
Caller: "Who is this?"
I hate when people try that, especially when they call me.
Me: "Who are you?"
Caller: "I have this number in my phone under 'House' and I thought it was my house. But I guess not."
Me: "I don't think so." Honestly, do you not know your own home phone number? Don't they make you memorize that when you're in kindergarten? Maybe this is the real problem with cell phones.
Caller, still trying really hard to have this be the right number: "Do you know anyone named Bob?" Name changed to protect the idiot.
Me: "Bob who?"
Caller: "Bob Jones."
Me: "No." Do you really think asking it that way will make it so I don't know that's your name?
Caller: "Okay, thanks."

Now, to make it even better, a few days ago this same number called our house at approximately one o'clock in the morning. I didn't wake up to it, and by the time Ray answered the person had already hung up. So when Ray came home for lunch today I told him about this conversation.

Ray's response: "Bob Jones? That name sounds really familiar. I think he called about the house." That would be the house we sold last month. "He wanted to rent. He said he would call back in a month or two to see if we hadn't sold it yet." That would explain why he put the number in his phone under "House." But apparently Bob Jones doesn't have any memory of this. At least I have an explanation if he calls back.
