I was living in a ramshackle house and I wanted dial up internet so I went to the phone company, paid the deposit, and activated my home phone.
Got back home, set up my computer, started looking for the phone line. No phone line.
Went to the store, bought the phone jack and some cable, hooked it up to the box outside, fished it through the wall.
No wire stripper. Not going to go to the store for a cheap wire stripper when I have teeth.
Bit into the wire, stripped the first one. Bit into the wire. Stripped the second one. Third one. Bit into the fourth one and got my world rocked.
Duh. Stupid. Phone is live. Hooked everything up, plugged in a phone and it immediately rang.
I answered, "Hello?"
Some woman: "I've been calling you for hours now! Where is Jake?!"
"I don't know a Jake"
"Stop lying! I know you know Jake!"
"Ma'am, I just turned this phone line on a few hours ago. I don't know Jake. You've got the wrong number"
"Oh, well, if you see Jake tell him I'm looking for him."
"Will do..."
This woman was calling my new number and fried the stupid out of my mouth looking for some guy. Strange coincidences abound.
