Why?

Why why why are people so annoying sometimes?! Seriously! Can I just vent for a minute and tell you one of my biggest pet peeves? Thanks. It drives me nuts when people call in and say:
random caller: "Who is this?"
me: "Watts Enterprises, and Watts Architects."
random caller: "Well I noticed I missed a call from this number a while ago."
me: "Did they by chance leave you a message?"
random caller: "No. Would you mind checking to see who it was who called me? My name is so and so."
me: "No problem. Let me put you on hold while I find out who it was."
So, I walk around, ask everyone in the office if they called this random annoying person. All the answers I get...No, nope, not me, sorry it wasn't me. Great.
I get back on the phone:
"I am sorry, it may have been a mis-dial. No one here recalls calling you."
random caller (in a very annoyed voice): "K". Click.
Love them. They really make a Monday, or any day for that matter, fun. Actually let's be honest, I don't love them, they drive me nuts. I know you are curious as to who called you...but don't be ornery with me when I can't find out who called you four hours ago. So, there you go...that is what drives me crazy. I will be nice now, promise. Thanks for listening.

Seriously! If I have a number on my phone and I don't know who it was, I don't call them just because they were on my caller ID. If they wanted to talk to me or it was important, they would have left a message.

That is one bad thing about technology. Would you ever call someone back that was on your caller ID? Really? Not me. I'd feel kind of stalker-ish, to be perfectly honest.
