chinese.food.

Our home telephone number is one digit different from that of a local chinese restaurant. We've had calls for them for years now, and while sometimes a tad bothersome, we've all adjusted and just give the caller the correct number. A few times a stubborn caller won't listen, and will call back repeatedly. We've definitely taken a few orders over the years. Because the house number is now mainly used for the dsl line, the only calls we get are solicitations and chinese orders- i can predict who it is depending on the timing of the call. Instead of being annoyed by them, i find myself really looking forward to these calls- the chinese food ones, not the solicitations. I've spoken with some very nice people. It makes me feel like i have a little company when i'm all alone.
