And before 99% of the calls and texts you receive were spam, political campaigns inevitably addressing you by the wrong name with heartfelt pleas for money, IRS scams, “Bob” from Microsoft technical support, Your Car’s Extended Warranty, AI generated robocalls telling you not to vote, or someone’s hysterical babymomma who refuses to understand that whoever she’s looking for might have had this number in 2007, but they don’t have it anymore.
For a while I kept getting calls from this old lady who didn’t realize she had to dial an area code before calling her son. After the first couple I answered it and explained to her that she’s dialing the wrong area code, but she didn’t remember and kept calling me and I’d let it go to voicemail. They were pretty sad and I think she was just lonely and wondering why her son wasn’t answering.
Eventually she stopped so I hope she figured it out.
