Yes the title is a bit awkward but then one is helpless. There has to be
an adjective to describe this irritating breed of callers.
It will be surprising to know if none of the matured girls had to deal
with an unknown caller : who is a male (irrespective of age), who doesn’t
reveal his identity properly, who wants to know your name, who wants to know
the place where the call has landed, who wants to be your friend, who has
fallen in love with you the moment he finds that the person answering the call
is a female (irrespective of age) and many more silly and/or dirty things on
the same lines.
With the huge population of such irritating breed lurking here and there
who either dial a random number hoping a female to answer the call or through
some means get hold of a number that belongs to a female (may be the outcome of
the first option), one has to deal with many such creepy people. Service
providers with their luring plans of discounted tariff, free calls, etc. make
things worse where the caller has to spend few paisa to gain some creepy
comfort to their ever loving souls.
The obvious reaction is to shout at them, not to receive the calls, get
irritated and receive the call and again shout at them, threaten to inform
police, so on and on..
Have we ever thought that in the middle of all this shouting, we spoil
our mood and negatively impact our health? Some random person just manages to
ruin our peaceful state of mind with his irritating behavior.
Armed with experience, now I have devised a plan that hits the bull’s
eye (that one needs to work on with patience) and it doesn’t ruin my mood or
health. J
So my tactic is :
Receive the call from an unknown number for the first time > Speak
cautiously without revealing name, location, etc. > Ask the caller for his
name and the one he wants to speak to > Guess the intention of the caller
with his weird or creepy reply > Stop speaking > Disconnect the call >
Receive the call whenever it appears again ensuring that no surrounding sound
would reveal any of your details – like mother calling you from somewhere in
the house (this can be achieved by turning off the microphone or covering it
with something) > Do not disconnect the call > Let the speaker blabber
> Not to listen to what the caller is saying (otherwise one would feel
compelled to answer and shout) > Not st speak at all as well > Repeat
this as many times possible > At times disconnect the call (but not
repeatedly which will make the guy adamant to disturb you more)
Finally this act of ignorance where they feel useless – no abusive
words, no arguments, drive them crazy and they lose the interest to bother you
at least.
This has worked like wonder and gives me so much pleasure (in a creepy
way like when the caller gets pleasure by irritating a female and realizing
that he could make her helpless and angry)!
That’s my revenge! Ha ha ha..
