Personally I go with choice A.
For the good old American lifestyle: For the money, for the glory, and for the fun... mostly for the money.
I usually call them a tard. And then call them back and call them a tard again.

i usually say who they are asking for isnt there, and take a message.....
My favorite is when you tell them they have the wrong number and they say "You sure? This isn't Mike's phone?"
No, ****stick, I'm not sure. Let me go looking around my house for a dude name "Mike" who's cell phone I've been using for the last 4 years.
Sometimes I think I drink alot, then I see, like, the Motley Crüe behind the music, and realize I'm a huge *****.
I've also written down the number of the person they were trying to reach and called them to let them know their friends are tards.

in the dorms my buddies would always get repeated wrong numbers so they started answering as goofy characters
it kinda started backfiring though
I can't remember the name of the movie but in it, Danny DeVito answers a telephone:
"Hello. You want to speak to Carolyn? She can't talk right now. She has my **** in her mouth."
It depends on how late it is for me. Someone had the wrong number last Saturday night and I ended up calling them back and chatting.
It depends on their attitude. More than once a person who called my number asked me if I knew the correct number. Okay, let's think about that one for a minute. That sort of thing really wears on my patience, but I generally try and be polite. Everyone makes mistakes.

Depends on the time of day, and how many times they've tried calling.
If it's late at night (early morning) waking me up, and a guy is asking for a girl...my usual comment is something like this...
"We've had a long night and she's sleeping right now. After such a great time, I don't want to wake her. Once she wakes up I can tell her that you called."
Depends whether it is a guy or a chick. If it is a guy, I go with A. After all, he has your number and if he wants to be a jerk, he can do all sorts of jerkish things with it.
If it is a chick, and I think she's hot, I try to keep the conversation going and turn it into some phone sex.
I tried to call my dad on Father's Day from Italy and got a wrong number. the guy sounded kinda like my dad so i was like "happy father's day, daddy!" the guy said "um..i flattered but I don't think i'm your father" we talked for a second and I told him I was calling from Italy and he said "oh, can you chat for a few minutes? I've never talked to anyone from Italy before" I said "i'm not from Italy, I'm from Oklahoma" and he was like "OK, nevermind."
just kidding..he still wanted to chat but at half a euro a minute, it was a nogo.
Whenever a boy comes you should always have something baking.
I'm nice unless they do it again and again. Then I get nasty.

True wrong number story: A friend of mine from college got himself hooked up with a girl after he started chatting with her during a wrong number phone call. It turns out she was a fellow college student, fairly attractive. After a long period without a girlfriend or sex, he eventually started dating and sleeping with her. It had all the looks of a fairy tale story in which a wrong number call led to a life long romance and marriage, a great story they could tell their grandchildren.
Well, sometime during this fairy tale romance she runs through a red light and crashes her car. The cop realized she was not drunk but rather had experienced a psychotic episode. She spent some time in a psychiatric hospital. It turns out she had a history of paranoid schizophrenia and previous psychiatric hospitalizations. Anyway, my friend drops her like a ton of bricks.
Sometime later, the top of his Mustang covertible got slashed to bits by her vindictive friends or the girl herself. Even worse, having sex with this schizophrenic girl got my friend really interested in dating and sex again, so he re-entered the dating scene with vigor, and he immediately started dating a teenaged student and got her knocked up and had to marry her.
Moral of this story: People who dial a wrong number you answer probably do so on a regular basis, and if so, are probably defective either in intelligence, mental stability, or both. So, no matter how glib and charming you are, when it is a wrong number from the opposite sex, just hang the d--- phone up, Romeo.

Here's my wrong number story. In my home town we have a liquor store that is named Y-Liquor. Y-Liquor's phone number is one number different than mine. My phone rings one night and this female voice say's is this Y-Liquor and I respond "is this a invitation? and she hangs ou. No sense of humor I guess.
Booger Kills Deer and eatsem!
I get a wrong number call several times at our home number.
Now when my wife answers, I can understand, but when I answer with a rather deep baritone voice level and the caller says........"Catherine???", then I know Catherine has some friends without much common sense.
Once I just said " Yes, who is this?"
after a bit of hesitation, they said "This isnt Catherine, is it?"
I said, "Sure it is, why do you ask?"
She hung up before we could get aquainted.
