Beware of the drunk dialers
Quote:
most of us are guilty of it, the "drink n dial" as they are calling it in the article... i'm posting this not so much to hear confessions (although funny stories will be appreciated) i'm really looking for TFPs opinion about the service offered by Virgin that is mentioned at the bottom of the article... blocking some numbers from being called during the middle of the night, do you think it is a good option to have on your phone??? i personally think if you can't control yourself enough not to call your ex when your intoxicated, then you shouldn't take your phone out drinking... but then, i've never had an ex i still cared about... what are your views???

Ohhh...
Yeah, any night of heavy drinking my friends start out by tearing my phone away from me. I am a completely unrepentant drunk dialer. And it's not ex's, I call EVERYBODY. (except family, I'm good enough to never do that.) A few months ago, some friends of ours procured Hillary Duff's cell phone number. We called it, and sure enough, it was her on the message. Unfortunately, she dumped that number. Probably a good idea, but sad for us. And definitely sad for the guy who got her number next. A few months later, I drunk dialed him and proceeded to lecture him on the greatness of guinness for probably 10 minutes. In an Irish accent. But I did congratulate him for getting Hillary Duff's old number.

While I've drunk dialed a couple of times, it's always to my sister, never to an ex (uh....I really don't have any anyway). I just tend to get really chatty when I'm drunk, and have to share my good humor I guess if this is something you KNOW you do when you're drinking, then it might be a good idea.

Might be a good idea to dismantle the phone before the drinking starts.
Also hide the battery somewhere you will not be able to reach without a hook or coathanger if possible. Surely if youre drunk you wont be bothered to go to the hassle and it will discourage you to do it! |

This is intriguing me... when you are drunk... what makes you say - -Hey, I'll call - what'shisname for.... booty call? to reminisce? declare your undying love?
Why do you call this person? And what's the result usually?

In fact, my girlfriend got drunk-dialed a few months ago by a guy she turned down before we started dating (and we've been dating for quite a while now). She laughed and hung up on him. |
