Don't Panic |
Well, "Steve", thanks for the voice message. However a) I don't know a Steve, b) I don't recognize your phone number (nor does Google), c) your canned message didn't mention the name of anyone living here, ....aaaand d) you didn't leave your reason for 'stopping by' Why do I think you are a junk caller? | ||

I'll make an appointment for Steve to meet me at some liquor store address in the deepest hood. Have fun Steve. | |||

And keep in mind, Steve, that if you do decide to "stop by", that trespassers will be shot and survivors will be shot again. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

Maybe Steve just dialed the wrong number? “We truly live in a wondrous age of stupid.” - 83v45magna "I think it's important that people understand free speech doesn't mean free from consequences societally or politically or culturally." -Pranjit Kalita, founder and CIO of Birkoa Capital Management | |||

Go with reverse of our approach when the obnoxious lady misdialed the cable company; "They are on your street right now, can't find the house. Please go outside and wave them down!" Maybe Steve is that guy who was just convicted for robocalls, starting over from prison. You only have integrity once. - imprezaguy02 | |||

I've been giving the address of the local federal prison. Just to change things up, I keep a list of the address of all 6 correctional/detention facilities in my area. | |||

They don't get that far around here. Wife and I do the same thing.
