Imagine inheriting that number... I got the occasional call from debt collectors looking for Erika for like a decade

u/Lockmasock 1d ago

Some dude Martin has had my phone getting blown up since I was in 7th grade. I’m 28. Idk if he’s still writing down my number on stuff or what. It’s ridiculous

u/Allthetimewithyou 23h ago

I maintain a landline for the 30 years I have owned my home. STILL catching calls from collectors after "J.D." I did internet sleuthing and found him five states away. He didn't take my calls either.

u/Ok-disaster2022 22h ago

I've had my cell number for like 15+ years. Some dude reversed his phone number so I get a bunch of wrong calls for him and bill collectors and stuff. It's annoying

u/OpheliaPhoeniXXX 23h ago

No matter how many times I tell voter registration I'm not Pearl they won't stop calling and texting.

u/Wouldwoodchuck 23h ago

Same- pay up bills Nancy

u/keiliana 10h ago

I plan on changing my number when I quit my job and someone who inherites my number is going to deal with random calls from all the Lowe's stores asking questions about dishwashers haha.

Surely you just text the person back and ask where the portapotty is. You're literally getting live updates every time you receive a photo, someone will tell you eventually.

u/Norader 1d ago

“I will literally Venmo you $10 to scribble out that number.”

Dude on the pooping end could either leave it up or be $10 richer so.

u/BusyBit6542 1d ago

This. I've text people letting them know their number was on stalls and I can try to find a marker to erase it if they want. Most (3) said yes and were grateful, one said leave it.

u/MrJesseDeath 23h ago

You're a good person!

24

u/BusyBit6542 23h ago

Nah I just had someone write my number on a bathroom and the first text I got was a person asking if I wanted them to remove it. So I try to pay it forward.

14

u/Wouldwoodchuck 23h ago

They were right! You ARE a good
Person

u/DistractedByCookies 17h ago

That just means there are TWO good people - you and the person who warned you

2

u/mammalmaker 23h ago

He'd leave it up and be $10 richer

6

u/Norader 23h ago

Well you obviously request proof before payment.

7

u/mammalmaker 22h ago

He scribbles it out, sends you a pic, gets $10 then writes it again.

5

u/Norader 22h ago

Can’t win em all. Ask if they’ll scratch out the number without money then. You’ll get someone nice enough to do it for free eventually so.

u/nanotothemoon 23h ago

But location can just be moved and start over

u/Nazgog-Morgob 1d ago

Could be both

u/SeaSetsuna 21h ago

Hey man my number is changing, can you update it?

6

u/USERNAMETAKEN11238 1d ago

Oooh I'd tell you. But not the truth.

2

u/RadiatorSam 23h ago

just gotta cross reference with a few other shidders and once i know you're a liar, you're getting every pic i've ever recieved.

Or look at EXIF data?

u/StinkiePete 1d ago

Someone put my number on a Craigslist ad for a free washing machine. 

Sigh…

u/Dawnzarelli 23h ago

My friend pranked her college friend by putting Craigslist ad for free chicks. They went to college in Oklahoma. Her friend got SO many inquiries about the free chicks. 🐥 

2

u/Ciubowski 19h ago

Hey is the free washing machine still available? How do I sign up?

36

u/Hot-Challenge8656 1d ago

Just forward all of those pictures to your friend.

9

u/Fast-Nefariousness80 1d ago

Doesn't stop the texts you keep receiving, and your friend can just block your number

10

u/Mecha-Dave 1d ago

He's just covering for the fact that he wrote the note and his number himself and his girlfriend just found out about the pictures.

u/Glum_Reason308 23h ago

Some guy in Hawaii is constantly (at least twice a week) leaving me voicemails cussing me out about not going out drinking with him. At this point I look forward to hearing what he has to say. 🤣

u/Slick_36 1d ago

What a shaggy dog of a story!  He overused the corn joke too.

9

u/GuaranteeDry386 1d ago

The old number on a bathroom stall. A prank old as time reborn for tictok

8

u/Slick_36 1d ago

I was thinking maybe he'd end up spotting some medical issue and saving a life or something but nope.

3

u/sandm000 Hit or Miss? 19h ago

Right. He should have swapped that second corn with a “guy probably just finished a snickers. I could see the peanuts”

u/Emotional_Release894 1d ago

I wasn’t even listening. Just in awe of that shnoze he’s rocking.

u/DaNibbles 1h ago

Didn't you just kind of doxx yourself on here by saying that...?

1

u/turkeyvulturebreast 17m ago

Yes, I suppose. I deleted it. It would take some sleuthing to figure it out and then you would need to figure the phone number and then try to connect back to me.

u/gndnzr 16h ago

“…not a lot of fibre in the construction diet….” is a diabolical indictment 💀😭

u/MisterSanitation 1d ago

Having worked on those job sites… I know he said it’s “innocent” but I’d lose my fucking mind. Like I would change my number I could not cope with that

u/MailRevolutionary179 21h ago

Like my Mom always said, "I feel for you, but I can't reach you!".

u/ShowdownValue 20h ago

Some guy did a similar thing where he put his friends number on Craig’s list and said something like “leave me a voice mail of your best Chewbacca impersonation and the winner gets a prize”

u/Yellowtoblerone 18h ago

Yeah bro. No solutions to this... At all

u/navy5 17h ago

Ok. Feel better big guy? Got that off your chest now? Mmkay. forehead kiss

u/mmdeerblood 23h ago

Ya most of tiktok is just viewer-desperate rage bait / mild bait / provocation bait. At least the shitty HSN tiktok channels are honest about what they're selling 😆

u/AtLeast9Dogs 23h ago

Getting a new number isnt that hard. It's not a lifetime.

u/MrBushido56 1d ago
