Scary Phone Numbers You Should Never Call

Okay, let's be real. We all have that one phone number we absolutely dread seeing on our caller ID. Or maybe it's a number we'd never dream of dialing ourselves. It's not about curses or hauntings! It's just... yikes.

The "Oops, I Drank Too Much" Text Number

We've all been there. That night out turns a little too wild. Then comes the urge to text that ex or someone you really shouldn't. Delete that number from your phone. Seriously.

Or better yet, just give your phone to a responsible friend. Consider it a pre-emptive strike against morning-after regret.

Your Doctor's Office (for Appointments)

Don't get me wrong, I love my doctor! But scheduling an appointment? It's like entering a time warp. You're put on hold, listen to elevator music. Plus, you remember every single thing wrong with your body.

And somehow, they're always booked for the next six weeks. Then comes the internal debate of 'is this going to kill me' or not. Maybe a small headache won't...

The "Customer Service" Black Hole

Oh, customer service. Where hope goes to die. You call with a simple question. Three transfers later, you're talking to someone who clearly hates their job.

They will ask "Did you try turning it off and on again?" Even when calling about a completely unrelated issue. And forget getting a straight answer. Good luck getting your issue resolved!

Your Mom/Dad's Number (When You Know You're In Trouble)

This one's a classic. Seeing your parents' number pop up on your screen? Instant dread. Especially if you haven't spoken to them in a while.

You immediately start running through your mental checklist. Did I forget their birthday? Did they find out about that thing I did? Better prepare your excuses. Or just pretend you didn't see it.

That Number You Accidentally Saved as "Do Not Answer!!!"

We've all done it. A telemarketer calls at the worst possible moment. You rage-save their number as "Do Not Answer!!!" or something equally dramatic.

The problem? You completely forget who it is later. Is it a debt collector? An ex-friend? The mystery is terrifying. Better to just let it go to voicemail. Though maybe answer once just to get a read on who is calling. Then you can truly ignore them.

Numbers Ending in "666" (Okay, Maybe a Little Superstition)

Alright, I admit it. I'm a tiny bit superstitious. Numbers ending in 666? I'm steering clear. It's probably just my imagination, but why risk it?

Maybe it's an unpopular opinion. But I'd rather be safe than sorry. I'll take my chances with a different area code, thank you very much!

Any Number Associated with Jury Duty

The call that no one wants to get. Jury Duty! The dreaded civic responsibility. You have to go downtown, sit in a room with other people, possibly get picked and delay your life and job!

Pretending to not speak english is always a great option. Just kidding, do your civic duty!

Numbers of People You Owe Money To

Especially those friends who don't let you forget. Every ring is a reminder. A reminder of your financial shortcomings. A reminder of that pizza you promised to pay them back for.

Avoidance is key. Just kidding (sort of!). Pay them back as soon as you can. Maybe then their number won't be so scary anymore. Unless they are just annoying. Then keep avoiding!
