he said "a" not "h".

damn you woman with your ninja edit!

My phone book opens on the last person I dialled/messaged so doesn't effect me. Also where exactly do you see this topic going OP?

Yep, I do it pretty regularly to Aimee, Alan and Ann.

Dravokivich

A lot of my mates would have me down as Bob, got used to answering the phone hearing things jingling in pockets so I did.

FatherLen

no?

Immaculate Pasta

Hmm I always wondered why my friend Aaron Aadvark had a chip on his shoulder

Senna

I remember having to put AAAAA as the first contact in a very old nokia phone i had, as i was always phoning a mate Andy by mistake.
Hasn't happened to any of my resent phones.

One time I got a call but it turns out the guy who rang me just dialled the wrong number. You should have been there, hilarious!

Andromeda_111

Used to always happen to me. I'd go to make a phone call and end up phoning my friend Alan. Ended up putting AAA in as a contact just to stop p#ssing him off.

Yeah the girl that is first on my phone book has had a few random phone calls from me down the years. Either through drunkeness or not being able to use a new phone. Must really suck to have a Double-A name like Aaron!

I was once waiting in a pub for a friend. He was late so I wrote up a text saying, "Where the fúck are you now sh1tbrick?". He walked in the door before I could send it. I put the phone in my pocket along with a box of cigarettes.

Next morning I got a call from an ex-housemate, a Spanish girl. Her name began with "A" and was the first name in my phone contacts. Unknown to me the cigarette box was pushing against the phone all night. She received nearly 50 texts from me that night saying, "Where the fúck are you now sh1tbrick?"

The phone calls to the wife have become that distant have they?

Aoifey!

I've gotten a fair few messages and calls from people who didn't mean to. I have 'A' saved first in my phone book as my own number so it won't happen.

My friends son plays with her phone and regularly rings me on it because I'm the first contact in the phone... I know if I don't hear anything for the first five seconds it's him ringing me.

It was quite a problem 8-10 years ago but once phones became less basic it's not an issue. I'm an A, my husband is an A and our flatmate 9 years ago was an A. Not a day went by back then that one of us didn't get a random pocket call or a bunch of blank texts. It was more annoying for the phone owners though, I suspect, as calls and texts were pretty expensive back then too.

That reminds me,

Once got a call about 9 in the morning off a number I didn't know. When I answered it was this guy with a really harsh Dublin accent calling me Darren. I had been asleep so I was just saying what over and over again in response. Next thing he drops "Darren is it you or Lisa selling the hash?" sounded more like someone concerned about them than someone trying to buy. I said sorry you have the wrong number and your man just hung up, got a good laugh out of that. Doubt I will ever get a more entertaining wrong number.

Who did you send them to, and why didn't they get them the first time?

It seems that you've had a lot of AA meetings.:(

Pollynomial

Yeah, that's true my poor cousin Aine keeps getting random texts and calls from my phone, I like Aoifey!'s idea of putting a random A number in front, will try that!

alfa beta

I'm forever sending blank texts to my friend Peter....hang on - do I have less friends than most of you...

Back when I had my first phone I had a fella I knew down as my first contact, his name was Aidan. Unfortunately it wasn't his phone and it was his fathers. I kept on forgetting to lock my keypad so I'd end up ringing him pretty much every day. Eventually the father sent me a message threatening to ring the guards on me. That was a good laugh.

Now I have my credit balance number down as Aaaaaaaa. I've been doing that for years. Means that I can find out my credit handily and not end up ringing or texting anyone by accident. Saves me a lot of hassle.

Myself + Most of my family did that too - Credit Balance would be down as A for speed.

I was giving out to my daughter one day to get up to the table and eat her dinner. She had my phone in her hand and when I took it off her there was a person on the other end asking her if she was ok. She was after ringing anglesea st garda station :eek:
