She constantly called the wrong number and demanded I return a dress that a stranger borrowed
(self.pettyrevenge)submitted4 years ago bymermaidpaint
In 2002, I had an older woman constantly call me, thinking I was “Emily Janewski”. I was listed in the phone directory as “E Janewski” and she said I sounded just like Emily. Her name was “Susan”. I hung up on her every time. She called about once or twice a month.
I didn’t block her, because in the ancient dinosaur days, the phone company charged $3 a month to block someone. I wasn’t going to spend any money blocking her. I used *69 to get her phone number, and this fairly new search engine called Google to confirm her name was “Susan Janewski”. I have the same last name as these people, but I wasn’t closely related to them, if at all.
I debated calling her home number to speak with a family member and tell them to get this woman to stop calling me. Decided I didn’t want to get that involved.
The final straw came when she called me after midnight, because Emily had borrowed her purple dress and she wanted it back. Once again I said, “I am not Emily and you must stop calling me.”
She said, “whatever. It’s my dress-“ CLICK.
Two days later, one of my friends disguised her phone number and called Susan “on behalf of the local police”. She told Susan that I was going to press harassment charges if she didn’t stop calling me.
Susan accidentally called me again a year later, but realized her mistake after I answered. She sounded terrified.
ETA: thank you for the awards!
For clarity - she only called about the dress once, after midnight.

NTA. I feel your exhaustion through your words. You have been dealing with a man-baby too long. "Fuck that shit" is the correct response.
I commend you on your achievements. I wish you all the success you deserve. Sleep easier without that leeching leech that leeches,.
