It has been relatively quiet around here due to the s-kids are now grown and have their own lives to lead, which is why I have not been posting as much as I used to,so this was some what of a surprise to me.I got a phone call from someone asking to speak to ...insert EX's first name here...(we used to get a phone call every once in a while from a bill collector asking about her,which I never lied,I gladly gave out all info I had on her, which is her SS#, Drivers license#, her parents address, hers if she had one at the time...you get the meaning...)any way, I said who? The man said her name again, and tried to pronounce her last name (which is longer than your arm,which is her present hubby's name)I asked him how he got this #, he said it is the contact # that she provided. I told him no,this number has never been associated with her except in regard to the s-kids when they lived here, and it certainly was not the place she lives,that number was the same number I had when I was single.I told him that I am sure that it has to deal with her owing money,he didn't even have to tell me. I proceeded to give him the number of her parents and mentioned her street name and town, he said it had another towns name instead of the real one.I told him the real town AND I told him that since she had given him all kinds of false info then she apparently has no intention of paying for whatever he is looking to get back! I also gave him her hubby's name, his place of work, ect....since she dosen't work and makes it her life's ambition NOT to work.
THEN, I waited about 15 minutes (actually, digesting what happened, trying to figure it out,AND giving him a chance to call the REAL number) I then called over her Mother's, as she has been there ever since her "heart episode".(knowing full well she would answer) I told her under no circumstances will she EVER use MY PHONE # for whatever she is trying to pull, and IF she is STUPID ENOUGH to do it again, then she will live to regret it! I didn't even give her a chance to TRY to protest, as she is SUCH a liar anyway.Of course she tried to call me back just to scream at me,I didn't answer,but she was stupid enough to call from her cell # which I now have to add to the info for anyone else who might call looking for her! HD knew something was up, when she tried to call him to yell at him about ME,but he has finally learned not to even pick up anymore, and of course she left a few messages, which he deleted without listening to them.
The only thing I can think of is, that she did give out this false info thinking that no one is home during the day anyway, just use the number because we don't have an answering machine and they can't find her there.(Anyone who needs us knows our cell#'s and will call us on those) it was just her bad luck that I happened to be home accidentally and it is also her tremendous stupidity to think I will lie for her, I will give out her info to TED BUNDY if he asks for it, PLUS ANYTHING else I think will HELP in her getting her just due!
And yes, I did give her the benefit of the doubt for a few seconds, thinking maybe they just got confused, as I will sometimes get catalog cards in EX's name with HB last name still attached, I will just throw them away, but as the years have gone by (12) they have been sent less often. BUT since they said her new hubby's last name, I know she did this deliberately. Has anyone else had to deal with crap like this????
I mean she KNOWS that I will hold NOTHING back if anyone asks! One time SD called me and asked me why I gave out EX's info to a bill collector, that she was very upset. I told SD that since she has slung so much crap at me,why should I protect her? AND for her to NOW do this??? I will not protect her EVER!
I've always considered her as a smart person, because lets face it, it takes alot of energy AND brains to keep herself in drugs, booze and food, plus a roof over her head without having to lift a finger... I mean, she HAS to put ALOT of effort into conning the latest sucker into supporting her and her habits, which now includes her grandson, that she manipulated her daughter into having.
Sorry, long vent!
