Panic / Teh Internets When You Really Need to Get a Call

Posted by on Wed, Sep 30, 2009 at 12:32 PM

Have you ever really, really needed to get out of that desk-side conversation with HR? Maybe you just broke up with your special ladyfriend (and you happen to be sitting in front of your computer), and you really need to get out of there. Now you have an out: Where's My Cell Phone. Just go there put in your number and click the Mark It Ring! button. If the dudes in Glengarry Glen Ross had this, they totally could have skipped getting bitched out by Alec Baldwin.

Don't worry, your cell number is safe here.

I see Bad Things arising from this.

What number shows up on caller ID? Is it the same number every time? If not, I can imagine people rigging things up to have it continually call a number forever, with no way to block it.

I'm pretty sure there is a different service that you can set up to call you at a certain date/time, so you don't actually have to be at a computer with internet to initiate the call.

Am I paranoid? I am really scared to put my cell phone number in those two boxes.

Wait, wait -- this thing is supposed to RING? What do I do with it then? How can I make the ringing stop?

Are you kidding me? Baldwin would've smacked the phone right out of their hand.

You just one third prize. I'll keep the steak knives and sell the Caddy.
