lanalucyMy phone is a new phone, one I've had a very short time. It is obvious that whoever had it before was in a world of some kind of hurt, because I've had calls from numerous collection agencies, and someone identifying themselves as FBI.
This morning I was happily sleeping away at 6:44am when my phone rang and woke me out of a great dream. Because of the hour, and the fact that my daughter is away with her grandparents, I was predisposed to answer it.
Some guy asked for somebody who's last name started with C, and I asked him if he knew what time it was and without waiting for an answer, I told him. I also told him there was no one at this number by whatever-the-first name-was, or by whatever-the-last-name-was. He apologized and hung up.
Almost exactly half an hour later, when I had FINALLY gotten back to sleep, the phone rings again. Same guy. Outraged, I tell him emphatically, "it's 7:15 in the morning!"
His response? "Ma'am, I'm glad you're keeping track of the time. We're just trying to reach so-and-so, and we're having some problems."
I explained that calling at this hour for either solicitation OR bill collecting was illegal, and that if he called me again, especially since I had now told him twice that it was a wrong number, he would not be a happy man.
Thank you so much for the snide comment, asshat. Now, stop fucking calling me!!
