Hell, if it weren’t for wifi calling, I’d still be living in a cell deadzone.

If I was in a strange house and there was a landline, I’d probably also choose that over my cell for an emergency call, for what it’s worth. I still don’t totally trust cell phones to route 911 calls correctly.

Mika on Morning Jockstrap said something to the effect of “at some point can we believe what is before our eyes?” GIRRRRRRRLLLL the sane people were there a long time ago, but continue on with normalizing BS.

And if it hadn’t been for those illegals voting, he would have gotten 500 electoral votes. Exclamation point.

A faint click and what I would call an “expanding” of the sound, where you suddenly get more noises over the line, often ambient ones or the buzzing of the other line - not necessarily breathing. It would make sense for a 911 operator, who’s on the phone all day, to be able to identify that sound.

The real story here is that Donald Trump won the election with 306 electoral votes. More than any other president in history. Period.

Oh great, we get to rely on Chaffetz - the Shkreli of Congress - to lead the charge to conduct an investigation and potential punishment.

nothing is going to happen to her, like not a damn thing

That whole “spooky stories” thread fucks me up for weeks, every year. I can’t wait for it to arrive; spend days re-reading the same disturbing stories over and over again b/c 1.) fuck you, Kinja, and your non-linear posting, and 2.) I’m a masochist; and promptly lose the ability to sleep for several weeks.

Definitely an urban legend and not a new one, just updated to include Tinder. May be originally based on this:

I was just thinking about the story yesterday. Where the guy is crawling on the floor down the hallway towards her bedroom, sees she is up and just stands up and announces, “Don’t worry, I’m leaving,” and walked out but then she discovered her keys were missing... right? I would have moved or at least changed every…

WAT.

I remember that story. It scared the crap out of me. Along with the one from Seattle of the woman waking up to find a guy in her house and he just leaves after she sees him.

Besides the distinct sound of another phone getting picked up (the “click” that others have mentioned), the sound quality of the call tends to change a bit...you hear more dead air, there are new/different background noises, etc.

No, he was like “surprise!” and then it got really awkward and he left.

I suppose millennials would probably not even know that there is such a thing as “another phone.”

Was he dead?

Back in the old days of flesh and bone dating (when you had to hand someone your land line number on paper in person), I knew a women who had a big box delivered to her office on Valentine’s Day. She was really busy so it sat there a couple hours, she thought it was office supplies or something. When she finally…

The story has several alarm bells—a millennial woman using a landline over her cellphone among the most glaring, though maybe her aunt’s house has terrible service!
