'We're about to take [your horse] out back... Old Yeller style': Guy pranks a wrong number after being pestered for months for updates on the stranger's horse

Believe it or not, caller ID was invented in the 80's, but it still took several decades to figure out how to completely block an incoming call. Imagine all the tedious hardships that would have been avoided if blocking a phone number had been a thing sooner? There certainly wouldn't be as many horror movies dedicated to villains in masks hiding behind an unknown number.

In modern times, it's easy to block a phone number. One-click and you can revoke a person's ability to contact you ever again. But in this age of infinite connection, where's the fun in that? In our next story, a guy gets payback against someone who repeatedly ignores his insistence that they have the wrong number. After months of being bothered with endless questions about a pet horse, he gets creative with his own technique to 'block' any further contact.

Scroll for all the petty details of how a guy protected his privacy and effectively blocked unwanted contact for good.
