You, Too, Can Have Tom Sietsema On Your Speed Dial

Alexandria, Va.: While I don’t agree with the person who “took dinner reservations” on his/her cell phone, I used to have this same problem with my old home #. I would always tell people they had the wrong number, that “No, I’m sorry, this is not the # for the Fish Market.”
However, sometimes people would actually leave reservation messages for the restuarant on our (very obviously personalized) answering machine. I kind of felt like those people got what they deserved..
