About two weeks ago now, I was working a mid-shift that night. A call came into the DAC around 8pm... a wrong-number call. No biggie. We get those from time to time. But real kicker began when the lady called back about 20 minutes later.
"Data quality. This is Jaclyn."
"Who is this?" (typical. no one understands my name over the phone.)
"Jaclyn."
"...What are YOU doing answering my husband's phone??"
"Um, I believe that you have the wrong phone number."
"No I don't. I am dialing my husband's number. Why are you answering his phone?"
(At this point, I am nearing mad because this lady is thinking that I am some tramp....)
"Ma'am. This is the National Data Buoy Center at the Stennis Space Center. (in a semi-sassy tone) I do believe that you have the wrong phone number..."
"Oh. That makes more sense."

Guess there's a first time for everything!
