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

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.
