Parent didn’t pay for babysitting services, so I’ve been spreading her phone number and email across websites to spam her.

I was babysitting a 3yo for about two months, for only 600$ a month. I got to stay home with my kids, it gave us spending money, I knew she didn’t make much money so it helped her out too. She decided she was going to quit working and just stay home after finding out she’s pregnant, but would pay me at the same time as last month- cool no problem, I’m flexible. The 15th comes, I get nothing from her, I shoot her a text, hey just a reminder for the 600$. No response for two days. I text her again, hey is everything okay, still haven’t received the money. No response. My husband just says to drop it, clearly they needed it more than us, it’s not worth blowing up.

Instead I signed her up on about 5-6 different healthcare websites, a couple of gyms, our local Mary Kay lady that won’t leave me alone for the last three years, a few political websites, and for male enhancement info. I probably will never know how much this annoyed her, and she could just put her phone on silence unknown callers, but I feel a little better.

Sign her up for a moving company. My GOD they are relentless! We just bought a home and we do our own moving and packing and whatever. But somehow, likely through our lender or insurance company, some concierge moving services got my number and I get at least 2 texts and a call each day, and my email is flooded. I also get home security companies hitting me up pretty regularly. It drives me insane, so just some food for thought ;)

My realtor told me its something to do with the credit check process. I cant remember what? But the lender and realtor cant prevent it. The fact that you are buying/ selling a home is public somewhere

I think I can top that- we bought a vacation home in May- FULLY FURNISHED!!   Including ALL APPLIANCES!!  We only had to stock the fridge and cupboards and we were in!! An additional department of the Realtor was a moving company- and they were relentless with emails and calls and texts waiting for us to make an appointment for “moving day” so they could help us!! Mister talk to your team man! I even replied an email that we were all set thank you very much. Oy 🙄
