Friendsheeeeep telephone call...

By Eagley

Yes, now... in addition to the friendsheeep PMs, I just got a tel call this morning in the middle of my busy workday by someone who called, then hung up and then texted to tell me to call back. So I did, out of courtesy.

Then he kept asking me what my name was, etc. He said my friend gave him my number so I asked which friend. And then he fumbled and said his friend gave him my number bs. If any friend gave him my number, he's have my name. He kept trying to chat me up. I think it was 30 seconds or less that I stopped him in his dumb tracks.

As far as I'm concerned, if your number is not on my mobile, and you don't state who you are within 2 minutes, don't waste my time. So I hung up.

Obviously, I never do. That's why I'm surprised as to how he got my number.

But now, I've got a good guess - most probably not QL due to certain time frames. Some people whose perceptions are skewered will cause trouble wherever they can - they are unhappy with something else but let their envy blind them. I'm actually helping to protect them overall and therefore, I shall not be bothered. There are bigger issues at stake, including their livelihood... if only they knew.

/Btw, just had another crank call. Not in my mobile phone book so ... 0 seconds this time. If important, will text and identify self.

//Thank God I'm not involved in business development. I don't have to answer any unidentified calls. Yayy!

///Thank you everyone, for your advice. I'll use the "I'll send your number to the police" the next time I happen to forget and take the call. Oh and btw, I will really send the number to the police since my guy goes there quite often to sort work matters out. ;0)

"don't call again...if you do, even just a miss call, I'll submit your number to the police"...

Works all the time for me :-)

Lol, my dad gets that crap all the time with work. People call him up and don't say who they are, expecting him to anounce who they've just called. My dad, being who he is, just keeps saying hello back to the person, just holding out until they say who they are, lol.

If the number is not register to your mobile and not expecting any unwanted call (number) and if your not using a operation or company mobile, dont bother,....

Two minutes to state who you are and why are you calling me? Hah! I usually give about 20 seconds.
