Wow… just wow. Does she have caller ID? Any clue who it could be? ---

Could she do \*69 to find out who it was? Kids being prankster shitheads or someone who really has it in for her? Holy fuck, that’s cruel. ---

Even if she doesn’t have Caller ID, she should report it to the police. The phone company can find out who made the call. ---

Someone did that to my aunt several years ago, too ---- complete with the sound of a woman screaming in the background. Sick as hell. She changed her phone number to an unlisted number. ---

We don’t have caller ID, which sucks. She did call the police. Then she called the police in my town when she couldn’t get a hold of me, and they called campus security, and security tried to find me, and when I got to my room I found that they had unlocked it in an effort to find me (embarassment to insult, it’s messy) and then I had to call her and calm her down, and call security to calm them down. All because some fucker wanted to get his jollies off an innocent woman. ---

Some people you just have to shoot between the eyes before you can say hello to them. :mad: ---

Someone once called me and said, “If you ever want to see your wife again…” I can’t remember clearly what was said after that, as I was too confused to listen carefully. They hung up before I could respond. I perhaps might have been worried if, in fact, I had a wife.
