So far I've had people call me wanting to book a taxi, collect jewellery after it was repaired (that's one case where I would definitely have checked the number!), enquire about various non-existent children's absences from various schools (I did wonder in a couple of cases if the parents had deliberately given a wrong number), plus a lot of personal calls. Most of the time they're OK about it. Sometimes they're not, and assume I'm lying.
The weirdest one was a call my mum got quite a few years back - she must have been on the phone for a good 5-10 minutes chatting apparently about family before she realised it was the wrong number - it turned out that a lot of her elderly relatives had the same names as a lot of the caller's elderly relatives!
