Don't work around here.
Rock flew off the rock quarry truck, and dinged the parents' Park Avenue windshield real good. The windshield with the rain detection and the this and the that, and the little different-looking place for the HUD to shine on... The quarry ppl said sorry about your luck. $700+. Used. Safelite guy found him one, with all the plugs/wires still attached, and installed it for $450. Safelite guy rocks.

Wow, good news for sure, Glinda! We've had multiple windshields destroyed by trucks flinging debris and the companies wouldn't touch it. They aren't compelled to, so good for your gravel company.
Agree with Grav, the Safelite people are fantastic - have helped us out a few times.

When the phone rings I look at the caller ID and If I don't know who it is I don't answer. Today it reads CVS Pharmacy so I answered. A recorded message from "Microsoft" saying my PC is infected and don't use it before I call a phone number. The motherfuckers are pranking the caller ID now.

I've gotten a bunch of calls where it says Microsoft and didn't answer because I knew it was a scam. But now they're pranking the caller ID I can't count on it.

These scam calls send a false number but do not usually clone a legitimate number. A quick internet search usually reveals more information. However, recently I have found that searches increasingly result in a nil return. I have formed the distinct impression that they generate a false number for each call. A grade one pain in the arse.

For a while around here they were cloning real numbers, and I kept getting calls from people saying, "Yeah, I missed a call from this number?" and then I'd have to explain cloning and some of them would just keep insisting that I had personally called them and... didn't want to admit it for some reason? Once my sister-in-law got a cloned number that was, by complete coincidence, my actual number! Her cellphone filled in the contact info and told her it was me, so she was gobsmacked when a recording started telling her about debt reconciliation.

After somebody reversed into my car and put a large crease in the backdoor, I was plagued for months by claims handling firms. One firm spoofed numbers from around the UK and one call appeared to come from a very remote location in the Highlands. However, I noticed that the last three digits were always the same no matter where the call was purportedly from. I believe that the firm was finally put out of business. Found it... Quote:

Not pissed off today, just drained of my ability to give a shit.
I understand important things are important... No feelings like that today. Not angry or upset, just empty.

Every day I get a call(s) from a number that comes back to Southern New Hampshire University. Somehow I'm a-thinkin' that ain't Southern New Hampshire University.
They start at about five minutes after 8 (in the am). I finally saved the number as a contact and then I gave it its own ringtone. A very quiet ringtone.
