It's probably the published number for the business
It was the published number for the business until a series of prank calls and 1600 daily newsletters rendered it unusable. It’s best not to gamble with crazy.
If you own a business, giving your phone number out is a part of doing business.
Looks like the repercussion was being able to call someone a wet wipe.
“Someone” is himself. This was posted amidst the proliferation of fake recruiter comeuppances a few years ago. I feel rude pointing it out but I really don’t want someone to replicate this and find themselves doxed by some doofus with way too much time on their hands.
It's a meme. None of the texts like this are ever real.
I agree. Taking the audience’s extreme tendency to strip context into account, it’s worth offering context. And that leads back to the beginning.
I agree with you on that
UK mobile number you Muppet, they aren't area based at all.
It's a mobile number. Probably UK based
I'm not American or anything but that just looks like a normal cellphone number where I live. All numbers start with 072/073/076 it doesn't matter where in the country you live.
"I was wondering if you knew about your employer"
Gotta say, there is no high like going freelance and actually making it work. Fuck employers.
3 months into running my own one-man handyman business. If this works out it'll be the best decision of my life.
I read the second reply in Tommy Vercetti's voice.
So Ray Liotta?
I'm not sure how that's relevant, but I wanted to take a minute and acknowledge how cool Ray was.
He did the voice of Tommy Verceti in GTA Vice City, but yeah he was pretty rad
Oh that's cool. I haven't played that game. I would definitely recognize his voice if I had.
