I have just been suckered into a continuum of suspense. I"ve been getting a lot of missed calls lately from phone numbers that I dont recognize. From ALL over. Usually if i cant figure out who it might be in the first 5 min. of discovering the missed call, I forget about it. But after receiving one this afternoon, i decided to go online and attempt to do a reverse directory to satisfy my curiosity. Well, I looked up 5 or 6 numbers I didnt recognize only to discover that every website will provide the location & whether or not its a land line or cell... but no name/address/etc. Unless you want to pay them up to $15 for that info. PER PHONE NUMBER!
I feel tricked.
So now i know the location of the callers.. but of the thousands of residents in those areas.... it could be anyone. It wouldnt bother me so much, but almost all of them are cell phone numbers. And it makes me wonder.... who knows me that i dont know knows me?? Or perhaps a casual exchange of numbers led to my losing theirs and therefore never recording it in my phone. Have i forgotten completely about an encounter with someone? Or do i owe someone money?? What if there is a contract out on my head!? What if its Ed McMahon's family trying to get a hold of me to inform me that I've inherited his old-man glasses collection?!
THIS is why they invented message machines. So people like myself dont drive themselves to insanity with curiosity.
thats all.... i guess i feel better
LOVE
