Like a train wreck

The little red light was blinking on my voicemail this afternoon. I started listening to the message and realized it was someone who obviously thought she was on hold and not recording. I almost hung up but it was like a train wreck and I could not stop listening. Just a few lines from this wacko message (I'm not kidding, this was real)

Caller (female): "I smell reefer ... is that you?"
Caller: Lots of jumbled yelling, then "don't make me get out of this m*&#f$%@ chair, how was your day?"
Small child in the background: "fine"
Someone else in the background: "What did you do today"
Caller: "Just sat around drinking beer, waiting for you to get home so you can go shopping"
Caller then started singing off-key about her new computer, lots of cussing and screaming while she says "I'm going to cuss you out, you $%#^# &^&%^&# %&%&#$@!%&%@%^%#*!" (I think you just did but I could be wrong)

About 5 minutes into the recording I almost hung up thinking surely this person was not calling for me, maybe she thought she was holding for her drug dealer - but then she said my name a couple of times softly under her breath before letting off another rant to someone in the beackground. That freaks my freak. I might need to go into the witness protection program ...

You can just come up here and hide in the boondocks until they quit looking for you. They'll never drive down our road, so you'll be safe. ; )
