I built a little time machine
Like I’ve done so often before
Though this one really worked
I soon found myself in the future
A bit old and wrinkled
Feeling unexcited
I decided to play a prank
And call my teenage self
From the past
To see how it works out
I dialled his number (or my old number)
It rang for a long time
Eventually, someone did pick up
I said, “Howdy, Frank. I am Frank from the future.”
And he said (or I said)
“Sorry, not interested.”
As he disconnected the call
Damn, that is so me!

Very funny.

haha, why does this seem like something so many of us would do?? Partly because of the number of telemarketing calls we get, are we really to blame??

I think most countries have banned/ strictly regulated those. I never get calls like that. I do get plenty of spam emails, so living in the EU doesn’t solve everything š

Ahh you are very lucky! I live in Canada and we get so many calls like that still lol. I guess it’s opposite here as I don’t get that many spam emails

Think sometimes how many spam emails you get, also depends on which websites you visit.
I once took a political opinion test and got liberal. Next day I was somehow on the mailing list from ALDE (the alliance of liberal parties for EU parliament elections). The test wasn’t even EU related in any way.
