do I know you?

Friday evening I got a call on my home phone, and it wasn't a telemarketer. I never use my home number, and the fact that it showed up as a wireless number, I answered the phone.

caller: Hello, Chele?

me: Yes?

caller: Hi, this is Deven. I found your phone number in my cell phone.

me: Really? Hmmm. I don't know who you are Deven, and I didn't give you my phone number.

caller: Well, I have your phone number in my phone.

I'm now beginning to think this is some practical joke, and that my brother-in-law is somehow connected.

caller: I got this phone from Jeff, and I thought I had cleared out all the old phone numbers.

me: Well, Jeff is my brother-in-law. So you can go ahead and erase this phone number out of your phone. Have a good weekend.

So I immediately called Jeff.

me: Hey, do you know a Deven?

Jeff: Yeah.

me: Thought you'd like to know he just called me. Apparently my phone number was in the phone you gave him, and felt compelled to call the number.

Jeff: That's weird.

me: Uh, yeah. Anyhow, thought you should know he called me.

I must say it was one of the weirdest interactions I've ever had.
