My phone rang at about quarter to eight. My first thought was, “No one I know would call at this hour.”
I checked the number, and I didn’t recognize it…except for the fact that the same number had called me yesterday.
Around 8:30, the phone rang again. Same number. This time, they left a message.
The message was from an angry man telling me to stop calling him.
I was, um, confused. I called him back, to tell him that I have never called him in my life. This does not placate him at all. He says, “the only way I GOT this number is that it’s been ringing my phone for a week.”
He angrily suggests that I call the phone company (as if it’s MY fault somehow), to which I say “fine” and call Verizon.
Verizon can tell me nothing, but they offer to change my number.
Sigh.
