Spoooky CoincidenceB3ta's very own Fraser was once a cycle courier. On one job out to docklands his radio gave out, so he had to find a public phonebox to ring back to base.
He'd just located one when it began to ring. Picking it up, it was (obviously) a wrong number, but Fraser recognised the voice. Turned out it was a mate of his he hadn't seen for ages.

* spoooky should always have three o's. 100% fact

Spoke to this elderly woman in work a few months back...She was calling in because at the time I was helping out with the remedial work on "telephony repair". Boring as feck, but easy enough.
Anyhows, she rings in saying that she called in yesterday (which was Thursday) to complain about not having any dial tone from us, and they told her that due to a shortage of workers for that period, we couldn't get anyone out until Monday. What she failed to mention was that she was on Lifeline, a registered service for the elderly/handicapped which alerts the Police when a panic button is pressed. Unfortunately, the side-effect of this service is that if there is no dial tone, then the Police see it as the Panic Button activating.
So....the police turn up on the Thursday night knocking on her door. She's a bit deaf and totally oblivious to the commotion outside, sitting in front of the telly which is blasting. The cops fear the worst and kick her front door in, bursting into the living room shouting and balling. She nearly died from the shock bless her.
And what was she watching at the time? "The Bill" :D - when she told me, I said she must've accidentally pressed "Interactive" on the remote :)
