Is there an 'oops' thread?
To explain: early this morning (we're talking 3am here!) I had a water leak from upstairs. Water coming from the ceiling in kitchen and bathroom, smoke alarms going off. I called Be One Homes (full marks, BTW, for responding even at that hour); they've made the electric fittings safe for now (to be replaced), they had the chap upstairs do some mopping to get rid of the worst of the water, and they've ordered a dehumidifier.
The super tried calling me. Usual response to unfamiliar numbers: check Who Called Me. The number was similar to spam, so I blocked it. All well so far.
But when I rang BOH Repairs to try to find out when this is happening, I was told they'd already tried to call me. Uneasy thought: "Um...that wasn't the call I blocked, perchance...?"
Immediate 'oops' feeling.
The number is of course deleted on my phone. Luckily I could call up History on Chrome, ascertain the number, call it - and discover it was the repairs supervisor.
Egg, face, apply.  Plus hysterical laughter at my own slip-up!
Has anyone else here been an overcautious prat?

Re: Is there an 'oops' thread?
I dont answer calls a dont recognise, unless I'm expecting a call and not sure what number would be used.
My answer phone message tells people that I wont answer unknown callers, and if they are genuine, leave a message.

I don't answer my phone either unless it's in my contact list.
In fact my Google Pixel has a built in free service that answers it for me and then displays what they say in text.
