In decades past, getting constant phone calls was a real nuisance. I mean, it's still kind of an issue today, but at least now our iPhones tell us who's calling and if there's a likelihood the call is spammy. We now know exactly who's calling us, and the newest feature is that you can read a transcription of the voicemail someone is leaving you in real time!
This is very cool and useful tech, and it would've dazzled people in the 1990s who were used to getting bombarded with phone calls. These calls often happened during the dinner hour, since callers knew people would be home. Back then, you wouldn't know who was calling your landline, so you just had to answer every phone call as if it was your grandma or a guy who's calling about your car's extended warranty.
This dude, u/ethidiumbrimide, was completely fed up with calls, but they had a whole different issue than the above problems. They were getting calls from people who thought the original poster was a lawyer! This poor dude was just fielding calls from a lawyer's office day in and day out, directing them to the correct number. After trying a bunch of different ways to solve the problem, this person enacted a brilliant evil scheme, which you can read all about down below.
Up next, this person held a grudge against their unprofessional boss for years before acting on it!
