Received a (TW) pic. So angry!

So TW for anyone who would be upset by mention of unsolicited NSFW pics.

Some grubby little man has sent me a dick pic today. I got it when I was getting changed after taking ds(6) swimming - it’s bloody lucky he didn’t see it as that would have been an awkward conversation that I really don’t want to have right now. I assume he took my phone number off my website (I run a business). I’ve had some vaguely suggestive messages before (from different numbers) but this is the first time I’ve had an image sent.

I have reported it to the police although I don’t think they can do anything. I’m just so angry! I feel so bloody impotent to do anything beyond blocking the number and cross referencing my client database to make sure it isn’t one of them (I doubt it, but you never know). And taking my number off all my marketing materials and website which is in itself infuriating because it will lose me business, and it takes time and will have costs involved (like reprinting things).

Just - fucking men! And yes, of course not all men. But too many men nonetheless. I don’t even have a question or anything for this thread, I’m just so bloody angry!

Hmph. Number isn’t on WhatsApp or Google. Must be a burner phone. Imagine being so deeply, utterly inadequate that you went and bought yourself a special phone just for sending pictures of your nasty, shrivelled little dick to random women? What a pathetic little creature.

@Spudlet - most SIM cards still need to be registered. Just because he isn’t signed up for WhatsApp (most private numbers won’t appear on Google) doesn’t mean the police can’t trace him. Fingers crossed for you they can.

And yes I am a police 👮‍♂️ - with a sense of humour. Something sadly lacking here it appears.

Too right!

That particular poster is often on threads trying to tell people off. People just ignore her I've noticed

@PollyAmour I’ve just answered that. And no, I’m not a police offer. I wouldn’t do that job for all the money in the world.

Well thank fuck for that.
