I don't know if you guys have seen those 5 Gum wrappers that have truth or dares written on them, but my coworker had one that said, "Dare: Text-roulette a random number that they are beautiful."
So I put in random numbers, nobody on my contact list, and wrote, "Just wanted to let you know that you're beautiful." I go to lunch.
After lunch I noticed that they had responded, and it said, "who is this, do I know you?" and another that said, "haha, guess you're not going to let me know?"
I also noticed that I had a voice mail from a different number. I was about to text the number back and let them know it was a joke and that they didn't know me, but my phone rang again. It was the number that had left message.
I picked up.
It was this dude's wife accusing me of cheating with his wife. He had looked up my info using my number and said that he's coming to kill me (via stabbing or shooting, he didn't know yet), and he just kept going on and on about how he knew that she was cheating and the he's throwing her out of the house and that I needed to be looking over my shoulder constantly, because he's coming. I tried to explain the gum wrapper dare, he doesn't buy it. He just kept talking about how he's a crazy "mother fucker" and how I'm going to end up "mother fucking dead."
Now I wouldn't normally care, but I have a wife and two kids. I don't want this psycho showing up at my house and causing issues with them in any way. I don't really want to call the police, because I don't think they'll do anything. The voice mail I have from him shows him pissed off and saying that he's kicking his wife out, but the death threats came from when I actually talked to him (some of my coworkers witnessed it). I texted him and his wife a picture of the gum wrapper, he says that he doesn't believe it and that I probably picked her out of my contacts and that it wasn't random. Yes, they're both local (I stupidly used my own area code in the random dial).
WTF do I do? I have his name and phone number, but that's not much comfort right now.
