For months now, I’ve been getting a lot of phone calls from numbers I don’t recognize. I don’t answer and they always leave a voicemail about a personal loan that I never applied for. 

The voicemail indicates that if I don’t respond and complete my application, this loan opportunity that I never asked for will go away. Of course, I’m on the “do not call list.” Do you think that’s where they found me?

I “block and report” the calls, but they keep coming, sometimes from the same area code as mine making it tempting to pick up. They are disruptive and I can’t think of a way to make them stop. With all the crazy stuff going on these days, this isn’t the worst thing to deal with, but it’s still …

We humans can get used to all sorts of annoying, toxic, and unhealthy things? While in this case, it’s not such a big deal, I hope getting used to being annoyed doesn’t become a habit. 

What’s bugging you lately?
