A couple of months ago I got a call from someone from OnTrack, which keeps tabs on what students do after they leave school. I’d had a call from them already this year but for whatever reason I thought hey, I’ll tell them what I’m up to again - my situation has changed quite markedly since then. So they asked the typical questions and I answered without thinking too much. Finally, they asked me where I saw my career headed. I said that ideally I’d be working in (my dream industry), depending…
“… on whether you’re a f_cking retard?”
I gave a surprised laugh.
“You know you’re a f_cking retard, don’t you?”
“… wait, what?”
*indiscernable, sinister, creepy whisper* then: “You’re a f_cking retard.”
“What? Who is this?”
*the whisper repeated*
Dial tone.
A few days ago I was called by what I thought at first was an old man with smoker voice. It was hard to understand him, but I remember him saying, in a harsh, angry tone, something like this:
“When was the last time you had sex? You know it was rape, wasn’t it?”
The rest was just an angry, unremarkable tirade of insults. A tirade that repeated itself - a recording. After about two and a half minutes, it hung up on me.
I’m confused, do other people get strange calls like this?
