Creepy Wake-up call!!
Our phone rang at 5:30 this morning. Since it is on my side of the bed, I checked the caller ID - it said "Private Number." A little odd, but all of DH's friends and family in the UK come up as "Caller Unknown" or something similar and one friend in particular can't seem to get the time difference straight and has been known to call at that hour (thinking it is noon!), so I answered it - in case it was his parents or some sort of emergency. Why else would someone be calling then??
Me: (groggy) Hello??
Caller: (random noise in the background and something whispered)
Me: Hellooo??????
Calller: (More whispering - the same phrase over and over. Sounds like "good morning" - but there is background noise like something is being moved or crumpled).
I hang up. Must be a wrong number or something . . . I put the phone down and try to get back to sleep.
30 seconds later the phone rings again.
Me: (a little less politely) Hello.
Caller: (whispering the same phrase - again, it sounds like "Good morning")
Me: Hello? Who is this??
Caller: (keeps whispering the same phrase - this time it sounds like he - definitely a he - is saying "This is your warning")
Me: WHAT?!
I sit up in bed and my heart begins racing. Warning? What? Why is he whispering?!?!
Caller: (Repeating the same damn whispered phrase - but this time I hear what he is saying) I'm so horny . . . .
Me: What the eff . . . (and I hang up and put the phone down as if it is diseased).
Seriously - -Who the frick does that?!?! Thank god my husband was right next to me or I would have been freaking out. Instead, I just rationalized it as some idiot dialing random numbers and getting his kicks when sleepy women answer. Sick Sick Sick!
Of course, after that, I couldn't get back to sleep. Our cat came in, knocked a bunch of stuff off the shelf, then the shower curtain in the bathroom fell down (??) and one thing after another kept preventing me from sleeping. Not that I think I would have been able to after those calls, but a little bit of quiet would have been nice!

That would have seriously freaked me out, and I would not have been able to go back to sleep either.
My cell phone number only consists of two different numbers throughout the whole phone number (kind of like 555-1555), so as a result I get a lot of babies/children, and people's butts calling me on accident- probably 3-5 times a month. Occasionally I get a late night call. I've learned to just not answer it.
Ewww
When I was in college, someone called our dorm number maybe 5 times in an hour just playing songs like the phone was held up to a stereo. The fifth time, I answered and said "If you're going to just play music, could you at least play something good like ___(don't remember what)?" They called back a few minutes later playing that song.
My roommate then qued up "Who can it be now?" and played that back to them.
I would have peed my pants aka my pajamas.
Speaking of creepy wake up call, I woke up to a earwig crawling in my hair at 1:00 in the morning. Freaked me right out. I barely slept for the rest of the night because I kept rubbing my scalp making sure there were no more. The gross thing is I killed it in my hair and could only find part of its body in my hand. Umm, where is the rest of it? I'm fully convinced it is in my ear canal making plans to eat my brain.
OMG, really?! I had to look up what this was... how did you know? It says on wikipedia that it is rare to find one in a human ear.

I had the pincher end on my finger tip when I killed it. I know that it's rare, but it doesn't stop me from being dramatic.
