I have engaged myself in hours of futility trying to understand Anat, but she still proves herself as one hell of a bitch. So I took a break, painted my nails with yet another colour(again), and decided it was foolish to spend the rest of my night pulling my hairs out under the influence of Anat.
So, I thought I'd share something funny / creepy with you people.
Nuisance calls. Many of you should have received at least one in your entire life as a phone user. You know, those "Congratulations miss/mr you won a lucky draw by our company" in an accent so distinctly (
fill in the blank). I am not discriminating against any group but you do agree with me that those words, when spoken in an accent unique to THAT country, come across as particularly irritating.
But we have all been lucky, because after we explicitly express our disinterest (and sometimes hostility towards the other side of the line), they do not call back anymore.
My dear Rabbit however, has not such luck with him lately (probably because I have been away HAHA). Strange numbers with NIGERIA country code have been consistently calling his handphone, day and night, for the past one week. Even more disturbing is that calls kept coming in IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT (and I mean in the middle of his SLEEP), apparently from this young lady named LALA. He picked up once and shouted into the phone "STOP CALLING ME!" just to be greeted with a "Hello darling I am Lala."
Honestly, when my dear Rabbit told me about it, I nearly gagged myself while laughing at 'LALA'.
The unintended humour aside, this now becomes a serious issue. Such calls that persist even after warning given could, and should, constitute harrassment. As to how in the world that Lala girl got hold of MY rabbit's number still remains a mystery. While I am typing this I am wondering if this is a syndicate, or if witchcraft could be involved. Maybe they randomly generate a number and try calling and when the line is through and someone picks up, they start practising witchcraft on the innocent victim, making him or her do stuffs against his/her conciousness. THEN HOW! Yes oh-my-god this starts to freak me out.
So I told my dear rabbit to lodge a police report, on the basis that it is now a form of harrassment. But it seems like he finds my suggestion a joke, and until now he still hasn't made an inch towards the police station. Changing the phone number will definitely put a stop to this Lala-harrassment, yes, but what if there IS really a syndicate operating somewhere (Nigeria?)? How are we to be certain our new, changed phone numbers would not fall prey to their game of chances?
And therefore yes I am still a little disappointed that my sincerest suggestion was taken as a form of joke. And yes I am still feeling a tad sour about it.
In any case, I hope those of you who so luckily read this in time, stay alert at all times. Danger always lurks around places you least expect it to be. And like what Lenka sings, "
Trouble he will find you no matter where you go", the only way to keep us safe is to be alert at all times.
If you see unfamiliar numbers flashing on your phone screen as incoming call, it's always not a bad idea to just reject it.
