Simple Happy Moment - Polite Wrong Number Phone Calls

I often use this site as a forum for me to bitch about anything that pisses me off.  I am trying to be more positive though, and send some love back to the universe.  Let me start off by bitching though.  I hate when people accidentally dial your number and then hang up when you answer.  Would it have been too hard to just explain that you made a mistake?  Equally annoying is when you accidentally dial the wrong number and the person on the other end gets pissy with you.  Seriously, was the 4 seconds of time really such an inconvenience?  This morning someone called me by mistake.  I explained that I think they had the wrong number.  They apologized genuinely and then asked to confirm that I am not the number they were trying to dial.  I figured out the digits that got mixed up for the guy.  He said thank you and wished me a great day.  I did the same and our moment was over.  It only lasted about 30 seconds but it really was awesome.  It was nice to see that some people are still a little old fashioned when it comes to courtesy.  It is simple, but it made me happy.  Maybe we do have a chance of surviving each other.
