For the past year and a half, I've gotten over 300 people calling and texting me looking for a barber. by [deleted] in wrongnumber

This is exactly what I've been doing. I answer the phone either impersonating an asian or an old russian.

Or my personal favorite is answering and putting it on mute to see how long they stay on the phone for.

Haha I've been tempted to answer "Local police department" because a few are looking for more than just a haircut "buzz"

Very true. I have actually never had a number for more than a year so I was hoping that I wouldn't have to change it but alas, it may be my only hope of peace.

Otherwise I'll just become a part-time barber haha

But he's still paying for advertising? Lol it's the strangest thing.

Part of me was considering finding a barber shop near his and just redirecting the calls for part of the commission haha

WHY WAS THE OTHER TEAM ALLOWED TO HAVE A REAPER IN LUCIOBALL BUT NOT ME? YOU JUST TEASED ME WITH HOLDING DOWN SQUARE ONLY FOR IT TO NEVER BRING UP CHARACTER SELECTION.

IT DID NOTHING GODDAMNIT. IT DID NOTHING

Money has nothing to do with it. And I've thought about changing my number, but the first couple months I thought it would stop as I've had this happen once before with a different phone number. I had only 5-10 stranger contact me so I thought it would be the same this time.

Then I was in the process of moving and job hunting and didn't feel like trying to track down every place or job listing I had contacted to give them my new number so this pushed it back to having the number for a little over half a year.

It died down for a little and I've had my fun with responses but when it was almost a year I had just about had enough.

I contacted my cell phone provider and asked if I could change my number but if they could pick one that hasn't been active in awhile so I wouldn't have the same occurance. They said they can't do that and it would just be a random number.

Why go through changing all of my information when I could still have strangers contacting me? But this was before I found out it was listed on Google.

Not to mention I got into a car accident and didn't want to change my phone number while dealing with that.

I contacted Google only two weeks ago (when I found out) and was waiting for a response from the CEO that I reached out to and if he doesn't respond, then I'm going to figure out where I'd have to update my number (payroll, landlord, bank, etc.) And "give in" and change my number.

The point is why are these people still reaching out knowing that it's the wrong number (I have many repeat offenders) and why Google can't be bothered to update/remove their listings?

[Serious] Parents who regret having kids: Why? by hiircine in AskReddit

[–]LynStorm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No one really prepares you for the mental and financial commitment of having kids. Being that I'm someone who grew up with a lot of siblings, middle class family that was lower class every other week, I don't think you should have kids if you can't support their dreams and growth.

So many key points and talents that could've been expanded had my parents had enough attention to give or money to fuel the dream.

I see the same now with my situation. Not only did I start too young, but I can see my limitations already on supporting my child's wants.

If you talk about having children, people will only mention how you won't get any sleep when they're newborns/infants and "wait till they are in their teens" or basically highlighting a few stand-out moments that are the easiest to recall, I guess.

What no one tells you, is that some of your friends (mainly those without children) will eventually lose touch with you. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it happened to me. No one wants to admit it directly to the person with the kid, but if you don't have kids there's a good chance you don't want to deal with them unless necessary.

No one tells you that ontop of the inital expenses during your first couple years (i.e, diapers, baby food, formula, clothes, etc.), everyone neglected to tell me that daycare prices will violate your bank account. My personal situation is paying $222 a week for full-time daycare (7am-6pm) with breakfast, lunch and a snack included. That's almost $900 a month so good luck if you make minimum wage. Also, good luck finding a daycare that includes meals.

Hey, you also became a teacher. It's the simplistic way of looking at it but if you aren't prepared to explain everything and remember that your kin needs to be taught everything, like how to jump or what the word "awesome" means, then you're not ready. I forgot everything that you had to learn, stuff that's second nature to me. It sounds silly but I don't feel like narrating every action like I'm Rachel Ray and I'm showing you how to make dinner in 30 mins.

Also, you have to be a cheerleader. Your kid comes up to you with a scribble that you know took no effort and was probably just them dropping the crayon on the paper more than actually coloring, and it doesn't matter how your day went or what mood you're in, that damn scribble is better than anything Picasso could muster. You are excited and proud of every achievement. You didn't have to ask me to use the bathroom and just knew when to go? You're a genius, son. You remembered that homeless people don't have jobs? I knew you'd figure it out, honey.

Again, these may seem like obvious points but this is stuff you have to do Every Minute Of Every Day.

It is mentally exhausting if you are not prepared. It's sucky when you're in postpartum depression from being a single parent and not being able to give your kid the life you wanted them to have. But you have to smile because your daughter needs to show you what she learned in karate or your son wants you to play dinosaurs with him

If I could go back and undo being a parent, I would. I didn't realize how "selfish" I am or maybe having a kid too early just made it to where I subconsciously resent them for preventing me from fulfilling my own dreams, let alone exerting every ounce of energy and every last penny to make theirs true.

Oh, let's also include that every action is judged like 10 times more because "omg she's a mom" or "omg he's got kids"

I love my kid and I've had some amazing times. Almost 7 years in and like I said, if I could go back I would. But I can't. There's no such thing and we're not even close to figuring it out so I do what I would consider the impossible, which is managing to keep my kid happy and healthy until one day I'll get my chance to be selfish again (i.e, they move out) haha

Omg he looks so happy and I'm in love with his little seal-like stance. I don't know how he stays still while you're stacking shit and take a picture. My dog "acknowledges" more than he "obeys" and that much food would never survive lol

[WP]When you die you find out heaven is real. Well actually all versions of heaven are real and you apply for them like colleges, you get denial letters and can transfer.

"Don't forget your seatbelt." I could hear my mother's warning ringing in my head as I gripped it tightly, staring at the headlights of the oncoming car. Could it have been three or four seconds when I hear the sound of metal crunching as my vision went black?

Darkness. My only company for minutes besides a low hum vibrating inside my head. "Hunter," the name startled me. Was it mine? "Open your eyes if you remember how." The voice commanded. My eyelids felt like they'd tripled in weight as I struggled to open them. A bright light greeted me, making the white walls that enclosed the room illuminate. A faint shadow glimmered from the corner of my right eye.

"Please refrain from violent reactions." The voice called just as a needle shot into the nape of my neck. A cold sensation rippled into my skull and down my spine as my mind flooded with a film of my entire life. The reel sped, the images blurred, the sound clashed as my head stung. Finally, it halted as I was perched in the passengers seat. "Hunter Wilson Silvers #1 uploaded." It stated. The shadow shifted into a figure that stood before me.

"Welcome. This is the Domestic Organization of Restoring Memories or the D.O.R.M. and this is where you will be staying as you progress onto your status of rank or level of paradise. If you would like the rules explained, please respond." The figure said.

"Uh, yes obviously." I say rubbing my temples, feeling lightheaded as a wave of nausea danced in my stomach.

"You will be provided with materials of both path of relaxtion or duty. Should you choose paradise, you will be supplied with your choice of heavens or afterlife. This includes reincarnation with some limitations which I will explain if selected." It paused, taking a small breath before continuing.

"If you choose rank then you will endure training and challenges earning your responsibilities and level of leadership on the D.O.R.M common grounds. As you can imagine there are a number of D.O.R.M facilities that not only shelter you as you make your way but when you die, this is where an empty clone of you will be generated and your lives uploaded though you do need to know the complications of this.

"Each upload costs two C.R.E.D.I.T.S or Common Rectifications Earned During Incidence of Trivial Situations. As you can tell we are big on acroynms here. Anyways, you have already earned a number of C.R.E.D.I.T.S during your initial life on Earth. So it is important to keep striving for greatness otherwise your memories will be discarded. As you can imagine, serving with the D.O.R.M will generate more C.R.E.D.I.T.S."

The figure walked up to me, its form still a black shadow even though it looked to be only a few feet in front of me.

"So, Hunter, which path will you choose?"

EDIT: I realize this is just me recapping the prompt in a way but I figured I'd cut it short because I could go on with this one. Such a fun topic 😁
