Stressed after confrontation

Most home phones don't show the caller id, so how would he ignore it?

OP, call your phone provider and ask them to block the number.
 
He probably beats his wife to get his manly rocks off.

I knew a lass a few years back whos ex-army type dad regularly beat up her mum.

So if you really want to get back at him, investigate for the possibility of domestic abuse.

I know that he might to get back at him but unless he has a completely locked down house I would not want to feed the fire. Unless it was completely anonymous, I would be cautious adding fuel to the fire.
 
Are you a minority? You could have played it as a hate crime. Or you could have said he threatened to shoot you and he boasted he had a gun in his house.

All I'll say is... You couldn't have prevented it, and you can't (and shouldn't try) make him realise what an arse he is. Stay out of his way, it sounds like it's not worth it.

Let it go, it'll get you nowhere.

idiots like this won't be persuaded to see themselves for what they are.

Just let it go.

3) What were you expecting to achieve by ringing the lad's parents? Did you honestly expect his parents would take the matter seriously, give the kid a stern talking to, he'd accept wrongdoing and stop making prank calls?

well yes

Thats what you'd expect any half decent parent to do.

If i caught my lad doing that i'd come down on him like a ton of bricks. Is it to much to expect kids to have decent parents like us anymore ?
 
I used to have the same prank caller for about 10 years and it was somebody I knew.
It started when he was 16, he would get drunk, ring up and start talking all dirty about one of my daughters.
The very first time I got her to listen on the other phone and she wrote his name & address down on a piece of paper.
After a couple of minutes I said "Hello Nick Smith who lives at 52, Victoria Road, Fenton, how are you?" (name & address changed) and the phone just went quiet.
He then came out with every swear word under the sun and put the phone down.
Two nights later he'd call again saying dirty stuff about my daughter and once again I would say his name & address and the phone would be put down.
A week later he started to tear into my wife & mother and once again I'd mention his name & address and he'd put the phone down.
It started to get less regular and I put it down to party nights so about midnight I'd get the same call and once again I'd mention his name & address but one time I was able to mention a jacket he had started wearing which freaked him out.
I couldn't believe that every time he rang he couldn't remember the previous phone call so I put it down to drugs.
The last time he rang I actually said "Nick, you must be 26 now, aren't you a bit old for this type of stuff? Are you still living with your parents Richard & Alice at 52, Victoria Road?"
That was about 2 years ago but I'm still waiting.

Of course not; it just lets the kid know he'd getting to you. If he's the kind of kid who enjoys harassing other kid's parents', what made you think he's going to listen to his own parents?

IDK about were you live but im assuming many on here live in similar situations as me, If id have done this what you suggested I doubt my windows would last the next hour.

Talking to a kid even at my age which is a little younger isn't really the way to go about it I would have done same as OP and at least hope that the parents could sympathize in some sort of way but obviously they don't seem the kind of people.

Wasn't your fault mate I say leave it be and stop worrying :)

Haha that was an amusing read.
 
Do you mean line 3? I don't see how she can get his address without asking him?

:confused:

So he asked him for his address whilst she wrote it down?
