Pocket dialing?

I woke up this morning to a whatsapp message @1.07am and a missed call @1.25am from my dcs dad, I previously had him blocked on WhatsApp as he kept taking my pictures and putting them on his social media, however I unblocked him yesterday to send a message to ask him about maintance as he never put it in my account and forgot to block him again.

Anyway when I got up this morning the message said "oh you unblocked me?"
I replied "yes I had and it was up to him whether he stayed unblocked and why was he calling me early hours of the morning?"

He read the message but didn't reply, so I sent another asking why he called he said he pocket dialled me, now I know this is possible but as I said he hasn't called me, nor I him for over a month so how is it possible for him to have done it without scrolling all the way down his call list or even go onto his contacts?
I sent a message with these emojis "🤥🤔" which basically means he's talking out of his arse.
My name is 10th in the alphabet and my nn is 13th which is what I know he has me saved under.

I dont know why it's bothering me so much and may sound petty, but he has a history of calling me or turning up at my house in the early hours after a night out, he has also just moved in with his gf and I want to know what the hell he's playing at.

So his amazing ass unlocked his phone, opened whatsapp sent you a message and later called you? What else does his ass/pocket do cos that's some skills.

His not so amazing arse is also a compulsory liar.

So it's not just me that thinks it's a bullshit story then? Grin

Unfortunately, there will be some fools who believe that it is possible.

Why lie though?
Just say you wanted to talk, we used to have a good relationship and speak on the phone at all hours of the day and night,
It really bugging me.

I know he's having a few issues at the moment, maybe he wanted to speak to me but has now changed his mind knowing that I'm no longer interested in his pathetic life?

I did it a few months ago!
I’m happily married and been with DH for 10 years.
My ex and I are still friendly, we’ll text on birthdays, Xmas etc.

We were away recently and all of a sudden I heard the faint noise of my phone calling someone. When I checked it was my ex!
I hung up straight away as we don’t really talk on the phone. I text him immediately though to apologise and that I’d rung him by mistake.
I hadn’t heard from him since last Xmas so not sure how the hell I managed to ring him. He’s also half way down my contacts list!

I’d say it was improbable that he’s called you by mistake but not impossible x

Oh I know it's not impossible and he has on a number of occasions pocket dialled me, the most memorable one was when I heard him talking about shagging the ow Grin
However I just know it wasn't a pocket dial especially as he had messaged me only 20mins before.
