To ask if giving a false phone number is a thing?

[DuckyMcDuck]

Went to a cafe with a friend, we sat outside but she was asked for her phone number. Once we sat down, she admitted that she always gives a false number and so does everyone she knows.

Is this really a common thing? I haven't been in places very much but have always given my number when asked.

@hammeringinmyhead

Good lord. I didn't realise there were so many complete arseholes doing this out there.

This entirely although assholes is a mild way of putting it.

What selfish shits (also a mild way of putting it)

There's absolutely no need to abuse anyone. You should be grateful that people are so honest on this site.

Attacking the OP and her children is just horrible and quite frankly, I'd rather be someone who dodges track and trace once in a while than the kind of person who is so horrible about others on the internet.

Imagine being the kind of person who'd insult children to try and hammer their point home.

Sad.

@ClarencesMum I didn't wish illness on you, but you need to understand your selfish actions, could harm someone else. You are putting them in danger, not me. My "wishing" illness on you is rubbish, you're wishing and putting others in danger, own it!

Maybe then you'll realise.

I'll have another coffee, in a coffee shop giving my correct details.

Why you have to change a couple of digits to help with your lie, I don't know. How it helps you to lie, I don't know!

Umm fuck off too, you're selfish, self cantered and it's you wishing and putting your family at risk remember that when they are ill! You could've avoided it.

But no, you are going to lie and the cry when the worst happens, you've been told how to avoid it, but you just don't want to follow the rules.

When the fuck did I say I have no friends?

All these self appointed wee covid prefects wishing harm on others... they've really done a number on you haven't they?

These are the losers that were out taking a register at 8pm every Thursday and noting who wasnt clapping hard enough

@Potterpotterpotter it’s very obvious you don’t give a fuck about anyone

Admittedly I am half asleep reading this and I thought it was a bloke asking for her number 🤣🙈 in which case yes I would give a fake number. However for things like covid I always give my correct number and have the app. And I think with the current situation as much as I dont as a rule answer unknown numbers I do now due to the whole track and trace

Considering one of my family members was in a hospice dying of cancer during this pandemic and no one was allowed to visit him which meant he was on his own at the very end... yet people can protest and come together in crowds of thousands across the U.K.... none of them give a fuck about spreading the virus so do you really think I’m going to feel remotely bad about giving a false number ? No I fucking don’t.

Hopefully it will come back to bite you and you'll be on the receiving end of COVID and pass it on to someone nearest and dearest to you, who has a bad time. All because you didn't realise you were a threat to them

Your words, not mine.

Far from perfect @ClarencesMum but I don't lie, if I decided I needed to lie I wouldn't visit places that asked for phone numbers.

And if you do pass COVID on because you weren't contacted because you lied, don't think it's because "a random on the internet, wished me ill", it will because you weren't altered to being a threat because you lied.

As I've said before, if you're prepared for that, then own it.

@Potterpotterpotter you are deeply, deeply unpleasant.

Alerted not altered.

Hopefully it will come back to bite you and you'll be on the receiving end of COVID and pass it on to someone nearest and dearest to you, who has a bad time. All because you didn't realise you were a threat to them

Now that really is unpleasant.

I agree @Wibblypiggly but so are all the people on here giving false details.

Selfish, unpleasant and irresponsible!

Probably

If people are honest great. But honestly even the honest ones are starting to have enough now. I dont get paid enough for people to constantly keep having a go, or ignoring me, I can't physically get them out if they don't hand over their details . And I'm not supposed to put myself in a difficult position by refusing to serve or take their money. Half the tine youd think I was gonna graffiti their name in a public toilet or something.

And then there's the ones who don't understand you ( language barrier) , or ones who have no idea what their phone number is as they enpty their pockets of pieces of paper and receipts trying to find where they wrote it

Whole thing is painful

Said by the one who called me a prick. You seem like such a delight.

I didn't call you perfect...

@Janevaljane neither is lying and putting someone close to you at risk!

People will only learn one way, when their lies come back to it's them. Then they will realise it wasn't a good idea to lie.

If it happens to someone else, they'll just continue to say "I'm all right".

Of course by telling the truth you can avoid passing it on.....just an idea!

@Boobissue

I agree *@Wibblypiggly* but so are all the people on here giving false details.

Selfish, unpleasant and irresponsible!

Says the one wishing covid on people. Get down from your moral high ground.

"Alerted to being a threat"

Are you listening to yourself?

@Potterpotterpotter but you don't care about getting COVID or your friends or family getting COVID, so why are you bothered?

You're friends and family are not in the at risk category.

You are happy to actually spread COVID, because you don't have anyone that it will make really ill?

Moral high ground you are in is in the gutter.

That would be the end of the friendship for me.

I’ve seen a new side to some friends during this, it’s made me reevaluate my friendships. Perhaps it was always there but more subtle and just showing now.
