Today, a woman called the store I work for. When she found out it was a wrong number, she started to cry and asked me to stay on the line with her, talking about her dead husband and how she hasn't laughed in years. FML
icy_in_indiana tells us more.
To those who said I'm selfish for saying FML, I was just following the conventions of the site. Trust me, the situation was awkward for me, but I so feel so much more sorry for the lady who called. She was meaning to call who I assume to be family or a friend to ask for toilet paper, but instead called the grocery store. I stayed on the line for a short while, but since we're not allowed to take personal calls at work, I had to refer her to someone else. I can only hope that she found someone to keep her company.

You're an awesome person for staying on the phone with her. I hope you told her about any sales you had going on.

There's prerecorded prank call just like that on prankdial, where you enter their number and it sends a call first asking about toilet paper then talking about how she hasn't talked to anyone in years.

Look on prankdial and find the crazy old lady prank. You type in a phone number and it sends a prerecorded situation just like this. I'm serious.
