Is it wrong to say that to people who speak english when I could easily tell them they have the wrong number?
"Hey, Steve?"
"Steve?"
"Yeah, what's up man?"
"Umm, I'm sorry but Steve is dead"
the end?

Is it wrong to tell someone who has the wrong number their friend is dead? |

I use to get calls from people only speaking the spanish, and me mostly speaking the english, I was trying to think of the way to say wrong number. If I said
no esta aqui, it would mean they are not here, implying they would be there later. So I just started saying, es muerte. (he's dead)

In English=cruel.

I asked my spanish teacher, but I never had the piece of paper handy.

pregnant or in the process of getting pregz.

My number used to be one off from some restaurant. I would take reservations.
Then I got bored and started telling them we were booked but I could get them in an hour later and we would pick up dessert. They changed their number. |

LoL!
Mine used to be one off from the pizza place. I used to take pizza orders all the time. When they would call asking where their pizza was, I was like "huh?" |

I sure as hell hope it isn't wrong.
We had a little girl who called us five or six times a day looking for her friend. Foo was working shift work so the kid was calling when Foo was trying to sleep. I tried calling back and talking to her mom, I tried calling back and talking to her dad. After a few months I picked up the phone and said "Camile said that she hates you and never wants to talk to you again." Well, apparently that was cruel. Her mom AND dad called back and raised hell. I guess I did act like an ass. I have trouble feeling bad about it but the laughter comes easily. |

Tres, that little girl was my niece. She is now in therapy because all she does is rock back forth crying "Camille hates me."

True story, from a few Aprils ago:
Anti: "Blockbuster, this is Anti" Dingbat: "Hello, I was hoping to speak with someone about my income tax situation. I'm investing in a new home and have been offsetting bank loans with my 401k and blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah *essentially this lady just yammered on about tax gobbledygook nonstop for a good three minutes* blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah so I called H&R Block, which is you guys, hoping for advice or a consultation. What do you think I should do?" Anti: "...I dunno. You're pretty much screwed." *click* The phone rang again but my shift was over. |

Wrong number = numero equivocado
But I just say "wrong number" in English and hope they understand me. Even though I know a little Spanish, I can't be bothered to use it very often. I throw fits when the secretaries pass me Spanish calls. |

I wish we had so many Spaniards in Canada. It would be fun.
I recently bought a "made in the USA" product (=0, I know!) and it came with directions in both American and Spanish. |
