One day I got really angry calls on my cell phone (number XXX-YYY-ZZZA) from the owner of a lost phone with number YYY-ZZZ-AAAA.

They were apparently calling from a land line in area code XXX, and didn't know how to dial long distance on a touch tone phone.

I tried to explain that they needed to dial "1", then their number to reach their lost phone.

They kept calling, then screaming about how I stole their phone and to stop screwing with their head; they knew how to use a phone.

After about 5 minutes, I gave up and blocked the number.
