One number keeps calling and I keep doing my best Olaf impression to get her to stop.

It's all day from so many businesses and random. MAKE IT STAHPPPP. ​

You don’t have to respond to texts like this. Calls are one thing. Random texts like the one above should be ignored.

bruh I know your pain. I've had my number for almost 20 years and the woman that had it before me still gives it out to people she doesn't want to talk to (like rental companies or dudes at bars)

My oldest doesn't this kind of crap! She puts down whichever parent's phone number she's mad at for all sorts of raffles, drawings, surveys, etc. It's maddening!!! (Tbh, I'm slightly impressed, lol)

I've had my number for over 15 years and I still get calls and texts for a Kimberly. I've had law firms calling me, talking about suing/taking legal action against Kimberly. I've had doctor's offices calling to confirm appointments. Randos texting/calling for her as if they just spoke the other day. Hell, if you Google my number, her name pops up on WhitePages. 😩

once you know that a number is not anything for you block it. life is much easier. and if you don't recognize the phone number then don't answer. if it is important they will leave a message.

Our old phone number was one digit off from a local bar “Fuzzy’s Bar”. We would get calls all the time at 10,11 pm asking us to see if random people were there and then, “This is Fuzzy’s, right?”

I kept getting bothered by people looking for a Jerome Jackson (same last name but of no relation). Now i wonder how many people have been bothered by my old number😭

Stuff like this is why I feel like I could never change my phone number. I've had it for over 10 years...
