Today, I was called by a restricted number. The man on the phone then explained to me in detail what I was doing at every second that I was on the phone with him. I'm scared to leave my house. FML

Today, after months of job searching, I finally got a call about one of my applications. I wasn't able to answer it, but he left a voicemail. I've listened to it over and over, and I can't understand the contact information. He called from a restricted number. FML

Today, I was playing with my phone after midnight, and I kept getting calls from a withheld number. The guy just breathed heavily and wouldn't speak. When the third call came, I asked, "Who the hell are you?" The call ended, and my dad yelled from outside my door, "ME! Now go to sleep!" FML

Today, I've been getting calls for over a week on my home phone, cell phone, and the work phone at my night shift, in which someone whispers terrifying Satanic-sounding chants at me. I've now found out that the caller is my best "friend". His explanation: "You seemed lonely, man." FML

Today, my roommate told me there is some restricted number that keeps calling and waking her up at odd hours of the night. She then says she's getting the police involved to find out who it is because she feels "harassed". I'm the restricted caller calling to wake her up from snoring so loud. FML

Today, I received a random phone call from an unknown number. Three times. After the third time, the person started yelling at me viciously. Then I suddenly heard a different voice, saying, "Terribly sorry, sir. My poor sister has dementia and thinks you're her husband. Her dead husband, I might add." FML

Tracking

By Anonymous - 11/07/2023 17:00 - United Kingdom

Today, I discovered a tracking app enabled on my phone so I switched it off to save battery space. Within 20 minutes my mother rang and demanded to know where I was, what I was doing, if I was with some woman… you get the picture. I'm 32 and own my own apartment. FML

Today, while at work, I had to spend an hour and a half on the phone, listening to an old lady relive her entire day in excruciating detail. We're not allowed to hang up on customers, and she was extremely quick to dismiss all my attempts to steer the call back on topic. FML

Today, I got a stern talking-to from the police about threatening and harassing people. Who had called them? None other than my stalker, whom I'd just informed about the restraining order I was filing against him after finding him in my house. For the second time. FML

Don't answer restricted numbers... EVER. Problem solved. Now, go call the cops and don't open your door until they arrive. Get it, got it, good.

OP's name is bizzyIZZY0121. I know a few Isabel's who go by Izzy. More common of a nickname for girls than boys. 1 in 12 women will be stalked to some degree on their life versus 1 in 45 for men. 87% of stalkers are men. Not sure how accurate those statistics are, but I'm sure they're not too far from the truth. Their generalization probably isn't far from the truth either. Not sure what your agenda is or what you're trying to prove... But useless comment was useless.

I agree with you. if it keeps on happening I would get the guy tracked but for now it could be a joke like her boyfriend watching her and call her with a restrict.

61-oh really? is that a figure of speech? that's so weird, it's like I've been living under a rock. thank you so much for showing me the light. I don't know what I would have done without you explaining this wonder discovery of speech to me.

Well, this is the internet and open to a world wide audience. Some people may not be familiar with a North American (english?) vernacular. That's why #61 felt the need to explain. Sorry if this explanation was also obvious, but I also felt the need to explain.
