What is your most interesting "I think you have the wrong number" story?

I'm a manager of a restaurant on a very long street. I have also worked at a different restaurant of the same chain on the same street before transferring to my current location. I get a call from a woman asking if she is calling the right place, if this is the restaurant on Main Street? I reply yes it is. She tells me that her son John is very sick and in the hospital and he won't make his next few shifts. I say "okay thanks for letting me know, I hope he gets better soon". She adds "yes, thanks, he's been in the hospital all week." This is strange, because John was at work yesterday and seemed fine. I try to clarify with her and ask her son's last name (which I know, but I don't know how to pronounce) but because she has an accent I have a hard time determining what she is saying and if it's the same last name. I ask what the address is of the restaurant her son works at but she doesn't know, only that is on Main Street. She asks if my restaurant is next to a pharmacy and across the street from a mall. I tell her yes. She says her son works there. I reply , "Ok, I will replace his shifts but I am very confused because he has been at work all week long." "No he has been in the hospital, very sick.... Is this the restaurant next to the UPS store?" That is when it dawns on me that the other restaurant I worked at on Main Street is ALSO next to a pharmacy and across the street from the mall, and I actually remembered her son from when I used to work there. So I give her that restaurant's phone number. I had about a 5-10 minute phone conversation with a wrong number but turns out it was someone I knew. A few months later her son comes into my restaurant as a customer and I say "so I heard you were really sick and in the hospital". His mom didn't tell him that she called me and he was really creeped out that I knew about it.
