Cellphone calls at 1.30am.

[slofox]

I had some fucking tit ring my cellphone at 1.30am on Sunday morning. I checked the caller ID – “private number”. Now I get a bit of this and am becoming bored with it all...so I picked it up. Conversation went something like this:

Me: (very deep voice) “Covert surveillance – your password?”
She: (it was some giggling tit) “Wha – who is this?”
Me: (real stern) “How did you get this number?”
She: “Err....”
Me: (pretending to speak to someone else, sotto voce) “Get the trace on this willya – I think it’s the one we’re after!”
She: “Shit!” – click.

That’ll learn the stupid bitch.

Marvelous!

That's why I put my phone on silent overnight. I used to have a mate who would txt or ring me at 4 or 5am, and he couldn't understand why someone would possibly want to sleep at that time of morning.

Some of us are on call... but nothing is more annoying than being rung at 3am to be told x isn't working... then 10 secs later, oh look, it's fine! Thanks!

Depending on your phone, either it's built in, or an app can provide a firewall to block stuff. On my BlackBerry some damn fax machine overseas kept ringing me every 5 minutes, but at least the number came up... blocked it, peace and quiet.

i don't actually go out of my way to piss people off... i mean. if you're in my way and there's some benefit, then yeah, i'll rip shit, but basically i run it though the "would i laugh if it happened to me" and if it aint, then i aint.

plus i hate teh phone. i hardly talk to people i LIKE never mind call someone i don't know.

No shit story.

In Prague, my mate calls his uncle at work to get some money wired over. His uncle just said, "hang up and walk away from the phone".

Turned out his uncle unbeknown worked for MI5 or 6 and the main switchboard number we called in on was certanly a monitored number.

The phone links to the security firm. Only reason.

I had that at the weekend.

"The Fire Alarm has gone off. Can you come and fix it?"

"That doesn't sound like a fire alarm. That's a security alarm."

"Oh, yeah." Click.



Or the one that called me out because of the annoying noise from the fire alarm was driving him nuts. It turned out to be his own fucking computer router.

...my last words to my old man from 12,000 miles away, before he died a few minutes later were thanks to Thomas Edison (or Nikolai Tesla if you want to get really deep)...long time ago, but it certainly changed my perception of phones and how important that next call could be...
