Just got a call from a collection agency. Take a wild guess who they were looking for?
I took a deep breath, told the caller that he hadn't lived here since 2000, gave them his current address, and politely asked that my telephone number be taken out of their database. I may have used an impolite term in referring to the person they sought, but I was very nice to the woman who called, as it's not her fault that her quarry defaulted on a loan.
I hope she manages to track him down, if only to save herself the possibility of waking me early one morning when I'm less inclined to be polite. Customers can be so rude, no?
