Dear Zola Martinez,
We have never met. Or spoken. Or read each other's blogs. Hell, I don't even know if you have a blog. I'll guess not, because most bloggers I know have more sense than you do. You have made the mistake of giving out my cell phone number to countless online universities.
Possibly you are too stupid to remember your own phone number and you have given mine as a purely innocent mistake. Er, mistakes, since I've already gotten ten phone calls in the last twenty-four hours. To make the same mistake ten times in a row makes me wonder if you are not quite ready for a university education.
Possibly you made up a number when filling out the online university forms, not wanting to admit you didn't have one or maybe fearing giving out your number on the internet. Didn't it occur to you that you were giving out SOMEONE'S number? And that if the admissions offices used that number they would wind up talking to an irate person that was not you? I'm not sure that's the impression you want to give the people who will soon be reviewing your application.
Possibly you are someone I know, someone looking for a way to aggravate me. You have succeeded, but who the hell are you? It's a fairly new number that I only just gave out to people I like. Surely Wendy Lapham and those girls in the band have gotten over their high school hostility by now? And if they haven't, who would have sold me out to them? I only talk to about four people from high school. I don't keep in touch with anyone from college, though I was much nicer then. Unless my ex-husband has somehow tracked me down AND found out that I told people that he liked to wear my underwear under his jeans. I can't think of anyone I've pissed off - except my children and Hot Guy - for months. So the revenge motive doesn't seem a very plausible explanation for the calls I've received.
So I'd appreciate an explanation, Zola, if that's really your name. Are you a complete idiot, a thoughtless schmuck or some kind of psychobitch?
Thanks for your time,
Jerseygirl
What do you guys think is going on? And what should I do about it?

Maybe one of your friends is jacking with you. Sounds Like a good prank to me.
Have no idea, but my husband got put on some coach's softball list and he gets field updates 3 times a week now. We crack up every time his phone rings.
"Hey Baby - I bet Coach Jay will play you at 3rd today!"
How frustrating! Someone gave my cell phone number on some application & now my HUSBAND gets calls to MY cell phone from collection agencies about old student loans that haven't been paid. Hubby had no student loans ever. Nobody seems to understand that. They don't even ask for his name, but this MUST be a right number. *sigh* I feel your pain!
I've had that happen with my last two phone numbers. People with terrible credit change their numbers to avoid collections people. It's a pain in the ass. It might get worse before it gets better.
Oh, I sympathize. I had just opened a new phone account, bought my new phone, and the same day sometime around 3 AM I got a call from some guy asking me how much I charged for blowjobs. I hung up. Next day in the afternoon, same guy called back, asked me again about the blowjobs. I tried explaining to him that he had the wrong number, but for the next three days he kept calling at random hours of the day. Finally I went back to my phone provider and demanded that they change my number. Yeah. Weird.
