“Now to hand over my phone number with identifying area code to this unstable stranger. This won’t lead to any repercussions.”

[-] Godort@lemm.ee 142 points 4 months ago

It's probably the published number for the business

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 56 points 4 months ago

It was the published number for the business until a series of prank calls and 1600 daily newsletters rendered it unusable. It’s best not to gamble with crazy.

[-] hk_a@lemmy.world 89 points 4 months ago

If you own a business, giving your phone number out is a part of doing business.

[-] WarmSoda@lemmy.world 41 points 4 months ago

Looks like the repercussion was being able to call someone a wet wipe.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 months ago

“Someone” is himself. This was posted amidst the proliferation of fake recruiter comeuppances a few years ago. I feel rude pointing it out but I really don’t want someone to replicate this and find themselves doxed by some doofus with way too much time on their hands.

[-] WarmSoda@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

It's a meme. None of the texts like this are ever real.

[-] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 months ago

I agree. Taking the audience’s extreme tendency to strip context into account, it’s worth offering context. And that leads back to the beginning.

[-] WarmSoda@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

I agree with you on that

UK mobile number you Muppet, they aren't area based at all.

[-] Nfamwap@lemmy.world 20 points 4 months ago

It's a mobile number. Probably UK based

[-] b0gl@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

I'm not American or anything but that just looks like a normal cellphone number where I live. All numbers start with 072/073/076 it doesn't matter where in the country you live.

"I was wondering if you knew about your employer"

[-] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 47 points 4 months ago

Gotta say, there is no high like going freelance and actually making it work. Fuck employers.

[-] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 17 points 4 months ago

3 months into running my own one-man handyman business. If this works out it'll be the best decision of my life.

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 22 points 4 months ago

I read the second reply in Tommy Vercetti's voice.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago
[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I'm not sure how that's relevant, but I wanted to take a minute and acknowledge how cool Ray was.

[-] cmbabul@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

He did the voice of Tommy Verceti in GTA Vice City, but yeah he was pretty rad

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

Oh that's cool. I haven't played that game. I would definitely recognize his voice if I had.
