A visibly distraught, exhausted woman came into my store yesterday. She wanted to know if she could block a number to prevent someone from calling her phone at all hours of the night and early morning.
She said that it was her work phone and someone that she used to work with was harassing her. Because the phone was used for all of her clients, she didn't want to change the number completely.
The harassing calls come from a private or unregistered number, however. I explained (and I called Verizon to verify) that I was unable to place a block without knowing the number of origin.
The former client calls several times a day and leaves messages on the office phone. She also calls the emergency number and hangs up without speaking. This has gone on for weeks.
After some time, I asked what the customer did for work.
She was a vet and, although she hesitated to tell me, the crazy lady is a cat lady. I could have guessed.
After the customer left I smiled... and shuttered.
