I put my phone on “Do not disturb” status every night because apparently my phone number used to belong to a crack dealer, and I got tired of the 3 a.m. calls from strung-out junkies. Last night’s call showed up on the caller ID as “CANDY-GIRL.” (I especially like it when they argue with me that they don’t have the wrong number. They seem incapable of grasping the notion that, if the person they’re trying to reach is no longer the person with that number, they have the WRONG NUMBER.)
The problem is, I always forget to take it off in the morning. Sometimes I go for days without phone calls, working through my abandonment issues, before I realize I can’t hear the phone when it rings, and then I feel better.
