For the record, I’m a man whose name is not Annie and I don’t even like yoga.

    Oh yes, because it’s perfectly normal to be harassed by unknown phone numbers, nothing weird about that. Just because it’s happening to enough people to get on TV doesn’t mean that the situation you’re going through is normal…

      I see you don’t know anything about John Oliver’s show.

        He’s my favorite collector of rat erotica https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stay_Up_Late. I’m very much aware of the show. I think we are having a definition issue. I am not calling you. Weird. I’m calling the fact that you are being cold texted weird. Weird as in. That’s unusual and slightly concerning . Clearly there is a known scam. So at some point your number has leaked to these scammers or been sold to them through some type of list.

          I get these too. Thousands of people do. Every day. Its a scatter shot approach to text scamming. They dial a number, and they add one to the next number they call.

          867-5309 867-5310 867-5311 Simple right?

          Why are you making this so wierd?

            ,You’re 7 hours late and you’re clearly lost. If the link is going over your head you might need to watch more. John Oliver. I think it’s pretty weird that you and these thousands of other people are having to deal with this problem. I mean I’m aware that signaling system 7 is complete garbage and that theres vendors facilitating bad actors but this large drag net scamming seems like it could very easily be stoped with minimal effort by most large phone providers working to actively block the bad actors.

              And you’re a troll, or some sort of self rightious cunt trying to be facetious for your own entertainment. I dont have time for your contrarian bullshit. Neither do the rest of us. Go back to your cave and pleasure yourself in your own mental superiority. The rest of us live in a world where stupid shit happens, and we deal with it and complain about it without being smug assholes.

              In full sincerity, I bid you good day, you useless fuck.

                Excuse me for being clueless about a topic that doesn’t affect me and genuinely noneplused that it’s even a problem that exists in the first place. My original comment was a joke because I have definitely texted the wrong person while stoned before.
