Harrassing phone calls.

I'm not letting the guy get to me, but today I've been getting some harrassing phone calls by a mooch who never paid me back so I stopped hanging out with him. He called me up today saying for every day I don't hang out with him he'd post harrassing messages about me online. I'm not scared at all and he can write whatever the hell he wants because I'm not letting it get to me and I've decided to stop talking to everybody.

You're Wariovswario. you don't stop posting failure memes despite an entire forum bashing you.

I really doubt one more guy posting lies even, instead of real bashing methods, would even remotely bother you.

As for the phone calls, just buy an airhorn and introduce him to it when he calls you next.

This is for real....in real life. You wouldn't understand but I have some real life problems and conflicts that led to this okay? I come here to vent and relax.

But you do have a great point. I am not letting one guy bother me. And if he does go through with his threats then he will regret it one way or another...by a police report.

"HELLO POLICE I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A REPORT."

"What is it, sir?"

"A MAN IS POSTING HARASSING MESSAGES ABOUT ME ON THE INTERNET."

"..."

"THE INTERNET."

^No, he'd report the phone calls.

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Severe harassment online can be reported.

But those phone calls could also be recorded. Of course, you'd have to tell them they were being recorded first.

But if they continued being harassing, then you could just take the recorded phonecalls to the police and see how many phonecalls they make when the police come after them.

He was stupid enough to send me text messages. That's what I have against him if he tries anything. This isn't anything on the internet but something online as well as real life.

Good ways to prevent the caller...


1) Get some VERY obnoxious music, like that sped-up remix of Carmelldansen. When he calls, blare it RIGHT INTO THE SPEAKER.
2) Get an airhorn. When he calls, put it next to the speaker and press the button.
3) Get a whisble. When he calls, blow it right next to the telephone.
4) Get a musical instrument, when he calls, blow as hard as you can RIGHT INTO THE SPEAKR.
5) Get a piece of cellophane. When he calls, crinkle it right into the speaker until he hangs up.
6) Scream. Loudly.
7) Continuously press buttons while he's talking.
8) Make a very very very loud noise. Somehow.
9) Speak an obscure language like Dutch.
10) RICK ROLL. Hitting him with the worst song ever made in the past 50 years will hopefully send him to the hospital.

Yeah, not like that totally fictional internet place that doesn't exist in the REAL WORLD.

Awesome. Just show them to the police then. Text messages are the ultimate in making the harassment provable and obvious.

What Sim Kid said. Annoyance is the best way to stop people.
