This guy's phone number was accidentally used in an online ad for a cow - and it was the worst morning of his life

Getting the wrong number is a quick-fire recipe for disaster. Whether you accidentally pour your heart out to a stranger, or send an inappropriate picture to a relative - it never ends well.

Well, for one guy, it ended in "the worst morning" of his life, after someone mistakenly added his number to an online advert selling a cow.

Funnily enough, it turns out cows are in demand.

To quote Bart Simpson:
