A very strange coincidence

Today I was setting up a network at a client's house when their phone rang.

(I have changed the names here)

My client read her caller ID and said "Johnny Smithsky? I don't know any Johnny Smithsky."

I replied "I know Johnny Smithsky, he's a client of mine." I said.

"This must be a different Johnny Smithsky," she replied, "The number is from California."

"Ya, Johnny Smithsky spends the winters in California. That's where he would be calling from," I explained.

"I still don't know him, why is he calling here?"

I couldn't answer that.

"In fact," I said, "I am going to his house next to setup his new computer next." His wife is still here in GJ - I'm not going to California.

"No way! said my client, it can't be the same guy."

She called the number back and asked if he was the same Johnny Smithsky. He said he was and that he had been calling her number by accident trying to reach a relative here in GJ.

"I have your computer guy right here," she said to him.

"Tell him to get his butt over to my house and setup my computer," said Johnny.

So, by accident, Johnny had accidentally called a wrong number from California of the house I was working at a few minutes before I was to show up at his house to work on his computer.

Spooky indeed.
