Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Her Goodbye



I've said so long to Violet. After my little poll last week, I decided that I would give her one chance to explain her absence and overall shitheaded behavior.

Here's a brief recap. Evidently she was robbed at work and took time off. She then went on a little trip to Mexico in July. I haven't heard from her since. Her son called me in late July or early August (like I really care when) and paid me for her cell phone that's on my account.

I see calls and texts are being sent from her phone when I check the logs online. I occasionally try to call her but never get an answer or return call. Last week I decided to poll my friends and ask them should I cut her phone off or not. The vote was a resounding victory for the "Cut off Phone" campaign.

Her son then called me a couple of weeks ago and said she'd be back soon.

Well Monday I checked the account online and over 1000 minutes had been used recently. I did a reverse number look up on those calls. Most were to auto businesses, insurance companies, auto storage and moving companies and car dealers. In the billing period, which ends October 3rd, someone has used 1500 out of 2100 minutes on my account.

I came up with a few theories on what's going on.

The first contestant is that she's really in Mexico and left her phone with someone to use while she's gone. Her son told me he has it. So either he's making all the calls or he's lying to me for her.

Behind door number two is she isn't really in Mexico but still in the U.S. She miscalculated me and her situation. I believe she thought that I would keep paying the bill in order to keep my phone in service. I don't think she knew I could suspend her phone without it affecting my service.

After seeing how many minutes were run up on my account (despite it not costing me a thing), I decided then and there that it was time to cut no more slack. I called and had her account suspended at 9:30 a.m. yesterday.

I had my coworker screen my calls at work in case Violet called. I turned my phone off for a while.

Sure enough, around 11:30 a.m. I turned my phone back on, and there was a call from an 800 number. I didn't answer the first two times but I did on the third call. It was the cell company and they called to tell me that she was trying to access the account to find out why the phone wasn't working. However she was unable to verify one of the two social security numbers on the account: mine or hers. So they wanted me to verify that she was on the account and tell her why the phone was off. I did allow them to tell her that the phone was suspended.

Later, I realized that if she did find my SSN she could call and have the service reinstated. I called the carrier and told them that under no circumstances are they to turn the phone back on without my permission. She has no authority to do so.

Now a little theory refinement. I don't think it was her calling the cell phone company. I think whoever is using it called or used a female to pose as Violet and call. If it really were her she could access the account with her social security number. I also believe she still has mine.

So I believe she's still in Mexico and left the phone for someone, probably some man she's fucking, to use as he pleases. No worries, she thinks, that idiot the Pope is paying for it all.

As Chucky once said,"Fuck you, bitch!"

That's pretty crazy. I feel a little sorry for Vi at times, but you made the right decision. You've helped her so much.

Loves ya.
