I was home one night and the phone rang, picked it up and gave a half grunt "hello", btw, this was before the days of called ID.
I heard this female voice that I recognized as an acquaintance of my wife, she was from a different part of the country and she had a distinctive accent.
"I can't believe you said that with my husband sitting right there, he can be a little dense, but he's not that that dense. I have been sweating bullets all night that he's going to put 2 + 2 together and this will all blow up in our face. I can't talk now, but after he leaves to take the boys fishing Saturday I'll be right over. I love you, bye."
I had no idea who she thought she was calling, we lived in a small town at the time and I told my wife about it. The woman was not very likable to me, my wife knew her mostly through a mutual friend. A few weeks later we went to a big party for one of the kids sports teams and she was there, through careful watching we had it down to one of the divorced dads she was giving a lot of attention to.
We moved before anything happened.
