I’m further discovering the joys of having a name beginning ‘Aa’. This prefix combined with mobile technology has made me very popular. The basic idea is that whenever someone forgets to lock their keypad, their pocket or handbag unavoidably manages to dial my number (‘Aaron’ = top of the phonebook, see).
Bad points: getting heartstopping ‘calls’ from your manager at 2am when you’re mangled. Or like this morning, when I received a record 45 empty text messages in a row from one person. Do you know how long it takes to delete 45 messages? Argh.
The only good point is that occasionally the caller is involved in a private or amusing conversation and I can listen in from the handbag. Great fun.
Note: to foil this kind of eavesdropping, please put a dummy entry (I recommend AAARGH) into your phone. Thanks.
