I’ve developed a mild obsession with the (presumably) delightful Asian couple that used to have my phone number.
At least 2-3 times a week, I’ll get a call or text from someone looking for one of the Chen’s. The caller always seems worried when they find out they no longer have the number, and apparently the Chen’s have left no forwarding contact info with anyone.
As you can see, I used to be an ass about it. A minute on Google translate says the texts are all about needing money, or anything in general to help out.
Lately, the calls have switched from worried well-wishers to credit and bill collection agencies, and I’m starting to worry about them, like the concerned, compassionate adult that I am.
Mr. & Mrs. Chen. I don’t know you. And this is crazy. But you know my number, so call me maybe?
Seriously, we’re worried.
