• From mistakenly declaring your love to
a random old man to singing happy birthday
for a stranger, the Planet Dolan crew re-enact
some of the best true stories from our subreddit
about our embarrassing wrong number calls.
I’m Doopie and today I’ll be your narrator.
Number 10 was submitted by thefakejaiden Zaraganba
When Zaraganba was in the eighth grade, he
was secretly in love with a girl in his class.
They spoke every night on the phone.
One night he decided it was time to man up
and tell her how he felt.
So he called her and waited.
The second he heard someone answer, Zaraganba
blurted out, “I love you!
I’ve always loved you!”
He didn’t hear anything for a few seconds,
then an old man with a deep voice said, “Err…
sorry sonny…
You’ve called the wrong number…”
Zaraganba later found out his crush got a
new number, and gave her old SIM card to a
relative.
He really wished she’d told him that before
he declared his love to some random old guy.

GhostToast
One day GhostToast wanted to call his cousin
for a chat.
He accidentally got one number wrong when
dialling and ended up calling some old lady
by mistake.
GhostToast apologised, but the old lady was
drunk and wouldn’t listen!
She thought GhostToast was her ex-husband
calling and started hurling abuse at him!
GhostToast decided to hang up, but the crazy
lady called back five times just to scream
at him!
In the end, GhostToast had no choice but to
block her number.
He made sure never to dial a wrong number
again.
Number 8 was submitted by FoxMaster2 Melissa
One day Melissa was leaving work when she
noticed she had six missed calls from an unknown
number.
Melissa thought this might be an urgent call
from her mom’s work number so she called
the number back.
A woman answered right away and shouted, “When
are you guys delivering that dildo?”
She sounded really distressed, like it was
a matter of life and death.
Melissa had to awkwardly explain that the
woman had the wrong number.
She later found out why the mix-up had happened:
her number was only one number different from
a local sex shop’s phone number!
Number 7 was submitted by Xx_Daenerys_xX Pandora
One morning Pandora woke up after having a
very sexy dream.
Her first impulse was to text her friend about
it, so she grabbed her phone and wrote: ‘Omg!
I dreamt I was squirting!’
But when Pandora hit SEND she realised she’d
sent it to her mother by mistake.
Her mom sent back a bunch of question marks,
so Pandora had to cover by saying ‘Oops!
Stupid autocorrect!
It’s supposed to say surfing.’
Her mom was not convinced by this lie, so
it was a pretty embarrassing morning for Pandora.
Number 6 was submitted by Kryokimi HoneyBits
One day HoneyBits was chilling in her room
when her phone rang.
She glanced at her screen, saw a short name
beginning with the letter ‘M’, and answered
it, thinking it was her mom.
But instead of a simple “Hello”, HoneyBits
answered the phone by saying, “Hey Mom,
did you get my tampons from the store yet?”
There was a few seconds of silence on the
other end…
Then a masculine voice said, “Uh… no?”
That's when HoneyBits realised that it was
her crush calling!
He was calling to invite her for a drive in
his truck.
HoneyBits went for the drive, but she was
so embarrassed she could barely look him in
the eye the entire day!

SpinalPalm
Back in the early 2000s, SpinalPalm bought
his first camera phone.
Since camera phones and texting were fairly
new at the time, SpinalPalm decided the best
thing to do with his new toy was to stick
it down his pants, snap a photo of his junk,
and then text it to his friend who was sitting
just a few feet away.
Unfortunately he sent it to the wrong contact.
Instead, it went to probably the worst person
possible: his psychiatrist!
She cracked jokes about it every time he went
in for an appointment.
He was so embarrassed that he ended up changing
psychiatrists.
Number 4 was submitted by Lssjgaming Grgak
One time Grgak and his friend were stuck on
a really difficult level of Donkey Kong.
Grgak’s friend suggested they call the official
Nintendo Hotline to get some help, so Grgak
went and grabbed his mom’s phone.
Grgak ended up messing up the number and calling
a phone sex hotline by accident!
They realised their mistake right away but
decided to play along.
Grgak put the woman on speaker and they both
had a good laugh about it.
Unfortunately, Grgak’s parents weren’t
very happy about the expensive phone sex charges
on their bill.
That was an uncomfortable conversation for
Grgak!
Number 3 was submitted by MEGA_PICKLE Pringle
When Pringle was fifteen he felt like catching
a movie with his friend so he found his friend’s
name in his phone contacts and hit CALL.
No one answered at first so Pringle waited
ten minutes then called again.
On the fifth ring, someone answered!
Pringle was about to start speaking when his
friend’s dad suddenly said: “Listen!
I don’t know who you are [pant] but give
me another twenty minutes [groan] and I’ll
call you back.
I’m balls-deep in the wife right now!”
Pringle was so shocked that he immediately
hung up.
He looked at his phone and realised he’d
been calling his friend’s house phone, not
his mobile!
Six months later, Pringle went to that same
friend’s house for his birthday.
His friend’s dad told an embarrassing story
about a telemarketer who kept calling while
he and his wife were having sex…
Pringle kept his mouth shut and never called
his friend’s home phone again!
Number 2 was submitted by lampent51 Cidius
When Cidius was a kid his dad was away a lot
for work.
He was even away on his own birthday!
Cid’s aunt decided it would be a nice surprise
if Cid called his dad up and sang happy birthday
to him over the phone.
Cid called his dad’s number and sang the
most excited rendition of happy birthday he'd
ever done.
When he finished singing the person on the
other end said, “Who is this?!” in a deep,
manly voice.
Cid thought his dad was joking around so he
said, “I know it’s you, Dad!”
The caller told Cid he had the wrong number,
but thanked him for the random happy birthday.
Cid got off the phone and melted into a pool
of embarrassment.
