Had an awful nightmare about someone from my past and woke up to see that they’d tried to call me at 3:45am (number is blocked, but it shows in my call log). I sent them a polite email “this makes me very uncomfortable, please stop. Also I’m blocking your email address, so do not reply.” I don’t know if that was the right course of action, but I’m just… I just don’t want to see their name in my call log any more. They try and call a couple of times a month and I know it’s not for anything and they’ll always just say “it was an accident” or “I saw a bit of news you might be interested in”. Omg just stop.

why the hell is someone calling you at 3:45? Unless someone is dead leave me the F alone. Most phones wont even ring at that time.

don't ascribe reason and logic to a stalker.

so many hugs

if they are expecting an immediate response 3.45 am is not good, ( it was a call? not good ) it's huge boundary breaking

if they are nightmare material blocking is the right thing to do

I was having a nightmare about this person grabbing me and trying to drag me away and not letting go no matter how much I screamed for them to stop and to others for help. Such a creepy feeling to wake up and realise they had called me.

Thanks for the hugs, Goons! You're such a delight!

Coworker woke up shouting this morning, scared the heck of his wife. Certainly must be something in the air!

I didn’t really sleep last night. Felt like I was waking up every hour :(

I didn't sleep at all. Really awful night. Didn't think the heat would be an issue this late in the year sigh

I hope tonight we both can have a better sleep and that won’t be so bad.
