Annoying texts...

[wildcat45]

I keep getting annoying texts from this guy i used to know years ago.

Not a bad bloke, he was my regular cab driver when I used to have a job that required an early AM pick up.

He was never a mate, but a decent enough fella who had now moved on from taxis to some other job out of the area. I've been out for a beer with him once or twice - a long time ago.

He used to send the odd joke. That was fine.

During the Jade death thing, he sent me jokes about that. Couldn't stand Jade but don't think jokes about cancer are that funny. So I texted him back nicely telling him to lay off.

No problem.

Until now.

Every day I am getting racist, jokes, jokes about Maddie, etc etc.

I sent him this "Mikey, stop with the jokes already will you. Don't find them funny and they get annoying."

He's obviously getting the jokes and just forwarding them to everyone in his phone book en-mass.

Still I'm getting them.

I don't want to change my number.

What would you do?

Kill him...

Ring your service provider and ask them to place a block on that number? Seem to recall someone doing something similar.

brilliant.

That or send him a few picture messages of your, erm, old fella. That should seal the deal.

But I agree, look into killing him first.

Post them on the Sean Connolly thread.

Post about it on an internet forum.

So I can get a specific number blocked then.

Thanks, I'll call my service provider.

Jut had another one....This one not offensive - unless you are a particularly sensitive Irishman.

Paddy gets a job in a chemical factory. The manager asks him if he has worked with chemicals before. Then asks Paddy what niterate is? "Time and a half" replies Paddy.

But thanks, I'll get on to the 'phone company.

That's quite good, I'd think twice about blocking the number.

^ This.

If more are funny than not then keep the funny ones.....

OK, maybe he gets a stay of execution until the next "How Many eathrqake victims can you get into a car......" text comes along.

Just text him back "REPOST". I am sure he will up his game a little.

[fathomfive]

Send him an email.

That sounds like a good plan, I like your thinking!

[BoRED S2upid]

Apparently you can stop calls / texts from a number by texting the number with the words STOPALL it worked on a spam call I was getting for 2 weeks they haven't called since.
