Someone should seriously do a study on people over 30 and ellipses.
CousCousWithTunaAndMayo
There are actual people like this roaming about the place.

Where was the threat? How is a picture of cells a thread? Maybe the COVID fever fried Karen’s brain lol
jellybeandaddyjl
Yikes the Karen's have been stuck inside Soo long they're randomly texting numbers in hopes of getting a manager to speak with...

I have never wanted chex mix more than this very minute

Well fuck, now I want chex mix.

"Who are you?" "Busy.." *continues texting him relentlessly* ...at this point we know exactly who the asshole is.
BuddyHank
I guess not so busy then.
Insanemonki0
I know someone like this too... took anything you said as a threat, while actually making real threats. Then when called out "I'm a bot"...
suomynonA
Number spoofing where scammers fake the system to call someone using your phone number. Then when they try to call back, they get you.
noir7
This is real too. Holy shit.
amakay1216
Random person called me day ago, threatened me, and said lose their number. Out of the blue, I had no clue what was happening. Crazy

I have had my # for almost 20 years. Every once in a while I'll get a text from random numbers going yo dawg is (amateur rapper) hit me up.

One I got a text from this presumably also an amateur rappers mother who insisted that I had the wrong #. If I was sure the my # was mine

hell, tobacco lodged in his teeth. "You're going to tell me about the check mix and we can do it the hard way or the easy way".
inchwormwrath
? I have no doubt that's how she's picturing my interrogation.
Footstepsofdawn
Someone messaged me randomly and then threatened to report me to the police when I trolled them. Why do people think police are gonna care?

A bald lab tech, I too am a bald lab tech. Hi, I hope you had a good lab week this year.
NotYourLady
Bald lab techs are the best
monutsarethebestdoughnuts
I'm a long haired lab tech, bald would be easier at the scope.
inchwormwrath
Hello fellow bald lab guy. Yeah our lab week was kinda scant with covid validations getting geared up. Better next year maybe.
poultice
My guess is that some scammer placed a call to the first person spoofing the second person's number, so they're just following caller ID.
shitheadtookmyname
You don't say
legobumb
Had this happen a couple of times to me. Had to explain to them that people can spoof phone numbers and there's nothing we can do.
legobumb
They weren't happy about it but understood and we both went on with our lives.
PianoMan2112
NOW it all ...well now the bad caller I’d makes sense, everything after that....
tyrfin
Yeah, I got a super angry call from a lady who claimed I called her phone and talked to her autistic toddler. She was SUPER PISSED
tyrfin
and could not comprehend what happened, and would not stop trying to bother me about it, then accused me of being rude for not wanting to...
tyrfin
continue a BS conversation with an angry, rude person who seemed to think she was the cops.
TakeAGoodLook
Yep. I hate this. Get calls all the time asking why I called. I didn’t.
ThomasThundersword
yeah. some idiot called my mom screaming at her to stop calling his wife. her number had been spoofed. it was pretty common for a bit>
ThomasThundersword
numbers with the same middle 3 (on cellphones) say 921 (fake ofc) would get spoofed spam calls from phones with the same middle 3
nosaucesbutapplesauces
Yeah, I’ve gotten calls from people RAGING that I stop calling them.
Spooner1
This happens to my dad all the time. He calls the number to tell them know he got a scam call using the phone number. Tells how to report it
Haidere1988
You have no idea how often I need to explain to customers that we didn't call them, scammers spoofed our number, illegal, but easy to do.
Beardedagentman
Thanks Sherlock.
poultice
Haha, yeah. I've learned that it's best not to overestimate people's awareness on this sort of stuff. Hopefully someone will learn something
Beardedagentman
I mean...you still got an upvote from me!
shawn98ag
My friend called me to inform me that I had just called him but when he answered it was a robocall.

That or Meth. Lots of Meth
Roger8086
I've gotten called by scammers from my OWN NUMBER. Kinda hard to see that as anything else.
MonsoonPoultryHospital
Yep, same. Briefly very confused, then amused.
KRicci
Same. I saw it and thought, "if I pick it, this will definitely become the start of a horror movie"
Roger8086
That is a weird way to describe the current late-stage capitalism thing going on, but I can follow.

mknut389
Yup. Had a similar, less idiotic encounter... More along the lines of... Who is this, not anyone you know. Spammer? Yup...
AnubisPriest
I've had this happen to me: my number was faked by scammers for the caller ID. I got a lot of rough phone calls one evening, so bad in 1/2
AnubisPriest
fact I had to fill out police reports against a couple of the callers. I know you mad, but threatening to rape and burn my children alive...
wtforero
People get way too touchy about their phone getting called. Got yelled at by someone because of an incorrect #
catsofat
I had a 'nice' older woman call me after someone spoofed my #. At first she was nice & reasonable but she could not grasp that I had nothing
catsofat
to do with the calls. She'd call me back every few days and got progressively more irate with ME. Started saying that *I* should be doing
catsofat
something to stop them from doing it. I felt bad for her at first but then blocked her #. You can't help everyone.
ADisturbinglyAttractiveCactus
Jfc...
Tsamane
Def a number masking scam. My rule, if I dont recognize the number, I dont answer, unless I am expecting a call.
Tsamane
I have also gotten a call from Florida number, and the mask doesnt go through till it goes to VM.
kgbofficer
My Pixel has call screening, which I thought was a fun novelty at first but have been using it more than I like.
PurplePeopleEater1
It is fantastic!!! I love it!!
kill3rTcell
Holy crap. I know they're literally called polymorphonuclear cells, yet it always surprises me just how ridiculous neutrophil nuclei look
inchwormwrath
This one is special too. Centrally radiating hypersegmentation. Called a botryoid neut, it's a sign of heat stroke.
sweetbisa
Thank you! Because first thing I thought was that it wasn't a neutrophil..but it is...never seen that before!
kill3rTcell
Thank you! I did think it seemed weird.

Last year in a restaurant a Karen (power haircut, clothing, bigoted ignorant attitude, everything) reduced two members of staff in tears >
martian086
>Staff hugging each other when she left. Made huge scene, nothing was good enough, asked for manager of universe 10 times, refused to pay >
martian086
>Had no clue there was a name for this at the time and the name was “Karening”.Felt very sorry for staff and comforted them.It was fucked up
KRicci
Did the manager ban her ass?
martian086
No don’t think they can do that. She upset the whole floor, ruined our dinner. She had a teenage daughter and her boyfriend and also >
martian086
>had a go at her for not paying for her own meal out of her own pocket! Then kept shouting at waiter that she had a relative in hospital >
bricksanchezmusic101
Only a Karen wouldn't know what a ghosted number is.

Work in cellular: can confirm. Karen doesn’t get it.

avidatheist
Plenty of people don't know you can spoof numbers.
tuxedobob
You seem to be a Karen. That’s called spoofing.
lcharsittles
Am I a Karen? 'Cause I don't know what a ghosted number is...I guess that's past being too afraid to ask.
th3guy
They meant spoofed. Someone calls /w a fake caller ID that says it’s your number but it isn’t. They call it back or report it. Wrong person.
lcharsittles
Thank you!
terithian
I got a lady screaming at me to stop phoning her once. I tried to explain that they spoofed my number, but she wasn't listening. 1/2
terithian
Happy ending though, 15 minutes later she called back and apologized. She must have looked it up. 2/2
RainyMorningGirl
I had the same thing happen but mine didn’t apologize. They sent me a snarling wolf pic though.
SnossedAndLost
I actually just learned recently in a similar initial text to me. But then we just had a short conversation bitching about scammers.
myeyesthegogglesdonothing
How have you people never gotten spam calls from a spoofed number? I get them daily. Always very very similar to my number?.
SnossedAndLost
How do you know they're spoofed numbers??
myeyesthegogglesdonothing
Lol
MrSaturday
I bought my first cell phone just two years ago, I didn't know all the scammer tricks until recentky.
Ryebread91
So is it they mascaraed as your number and call someone?
SnossedAndLost
Yea, that's what I didnt understand at first.
Orein
Not gonna lie, it took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize that you meant "masquerade" when you wrote "mascaraed."
Ryebread91
Interesting. Autocorrect suggested it and I just went with it.
Orein
I guess it's recognized as the past-tense version of using "mascara" as a verb.

Who the fuck loves Chihuahuas? They're the worst dogs

Cousin owned a chihuahua, much sweeter disposition than her other dog. Yapped but not frequent. Sadly disappeared one morning. likely an owl

I can see why people get the notion. However the 3 Chihuahuas my family has owned are more or less chill, they bark at passing traffic-

I love my chihuahua. He’s nearly 15, loves everyone, and hams for pictures. All dogs are good dogs, adjust your attitude.

Mine definitely shakes but he's a friendly loving little guy

You need to get 20 of them and train them to attack in mass, like a school of piranhas.

I disagree. All dogs are good dogs, there are only bad owners. It just so happens that a lot of shitheads own Chihuahuas.

OverlyOpinionated
I thought this, but then I accidentally got a chihuahua. All my other dogs were immaculately trained. This thing doesn't care what you say
monybony
My chihuahua can sneeze on command and twirl around and dance. He’s kind of an asshole to other dogs though.
OverlyOpinionated
Mine's got a mohawk and a personality like a punk 12 year old. Her best trick is not shutting up when you say "tell me your problems"
GoliathSkittles
All dogs are good dogs, but on a rating of good to great to fantastic, chihuahuas are only good.
PoIluticorn
I understand your sentiment and I agree that all dogs are good dogs. There is a reality in training dogs though and it's that some

Are very easy to train as they are eager to please and follow direction, and there are dogs that are difficult to train. A border collie
