"Is this Mr. __?"

Me, yes.

"Sir, my colleagues are arriving tomorrow and want to meet with you. What is your availability?"

Me, "what the heck are you talking about?"

Him, becoming exasperated: "Sir, they have flown all this way to meet with you! What is your availability?"



After more back and forth it turned out that I had nearly the same name as someone else. The caller had gotten the hotel switchboard and I guess they assumed it was me. I was almost ready to meet with them.
