Late last night, as I was shutting things down in my office, before going to bed, my cell phone rang. Kinda late for anyone I knew to be calling. And I didn't recognize the number.
"Hello?"
"Hello...(a female voice with a very heavy accent), Joe?"
"No, ma'm."
"Is Joe there?"
"No, ma'm. Nobody named Joe at this number."
"Joe's not there?"
"No, ma'm. What number are you calling?"
"Umm, 00-1-XXX-XXX-XXXX-1"
"Well, except for the last number, that is the number you called."
"Is this in Holland?"
"No, ma'm. This is the U.S."
"The U.S.?"
"Yes, ma'm."
"I'm sorry to disturb you."
"No problem."
Click.
My first INTER-CONTINENTAL wrong number. On a cell phone, no less. Now that's a first.
Wait until you get the bill for recieving that international call!

As I was on the receiving end of the call, it should only go against my minutes. And the call was only 30 sec. long. I know, still a minute.
