Oh, skanky.

[Dan picks up the phone. Caller ID: 800-379-8414, no name.]

Dan: Hello?

[Beat.]

Slimy telemarketer: Hello?

Dan: Hello?

Telemarketer: Hello, is this miss Stasio?
[We get a lot of calls for
them; apparently, they had our phone number before we did. Most of
those calls are from collection agencies.]

Dan: No, there’s nobody here by that name.

Telemarketer: Oh, I’m sorry, I have the wrong name, but I definitely have the right number.

I just felt gross. (It didn’t help that it was yet another
“community police fund” scam.)
