A friend of mine comes from New Delhi, where the main streets are dotted with kiosks - stalls selling tobacco, newspapers, drinks etc. His best friend is a bit of a joker, and discovered the phone number for one of these. One day as they were passing, he called him from a distance safe enough to not be spotted in the crowded streets, but near enough that they could see the vendor.
"Hello?"
"Hi, is Rahul there?"
"No, you have the wrong number. Goodbye."
Not deterred, he rang back again.
"Hello?"
"Hi, is Rahul there?"
"No, this is a street stall. You have the wrong number."
Again, he hung up.
He kept this up for a few days, getting others to call in his place and watching the vendor leaning out and looking up and down the street.
The vendor sounded more and more annoyed every day.
"Hello?"
"Hey, put Rahul on."
"I don't know anyone called Rahul. Who is this?"
"Look, quit messing around - you better tell him to call me back."
One day he got a friend to go and buy something from the kiosk, while he called, so that his friend would be there as the vendor answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey, I'm calling for Rahul Venkatesh."
"Stop calling me. You have the wrong number."
"Bastard! I know he's there. Put him on!"
"I don't know anyone called Rahul Venkatesh!"
At this point, his friend who was standing in front of the kiosk affected a frightened expression.
"Who's looking for Rahul Venkatesh?" He said, as if it was the name of some serious gangster, like 'Keyser Soze' in The Usual Suspects.
This really freaked out the vendor, and he started babbling about not knowing him, over and over. I think at this point the people listening on the other end of the phone started laughing.
(true story, with a few details altered due to poor memory)

Wrong category. This goes in the "Things that make sticking my dick in a blender and hitting frapé sound unbelivably fun" category.
