Today I'd like to talk about a phone number which has plagued my life for the last three years. It's a "local" phone number from Washington state. I've been living in Virginia State for two years! By the way, it's not that I haven't told this person, people, whoever; they have the wrong number but it started like this.
Florida, Pensacola I was on a friends boat and got drunk... Then I 'accidentally' threw my phone which was in my swimming trunks into the Gulf of Mexico. After realizing my pimp phone (also known as the Blackberry Torch) was water damaged I used a crack phone (go phone) with the same sim card. So, AT&T didn't know I fucked up my epic phone and I only had to pocket out $50 for the accident. This is when the phone calls began.
First off it's was a 360 number which I thought was my family. They live in Washington. I figured it was a new number, they were just updating my contacts. NOPE! A woman's voice I've never heard is on the line, "Heeelo, is this Neko?"
... I'm not a smart cookie, however I know from my linguistics class Neko meant the word Cat in Japanese. DING! I have an idea of the persons culture. However what really got me wondering, 'who the fuck is named Cat!?' I mean legitamently named Cat. In Japanese Cat means Cat. It's not short for Katherine or anything... They don't do it like us English folk....
Well like a normal sensible human being I told the person they had the wrong number. And I wished them a good day. I hung up. Three months later, I got a phone call from the same person asking for Neko again. Sorry, you got the wrong number.
A year later and I'm back in the states after my first tour and I get another phone call. Different person asking for the same name, Neko.... WHO IS NEKO!? Again, told them it was the wrong number... Hung up and then again some time later got another phone call. And you (the reader) must be wondering why I haven't put this number on block. I actually don't know how to block a phone number. Though I'm bitching about this caller. You have to understand, the call happens once in a great while. And I'm not phone savvy enough to operate my iPhone.

Fallon, Nevada and I get the phone call. However at this point I've taken the liberty to save the phone number as my contacts. And aptly named the contact Do Not Answer. Well, Neko calls and I hand the phone to Chief. He answers the phone and puts it on speaker phone.
"Hey, is Neko there?"
"No, who are you?" Says Chief
"I'm Hachioji." I'm thinking, shit at least we finally got a name.... Phew...
"Where are you?" Asked Chief, I'm at this point questioning his tactic.
"I don't know, where are you?"
"I'm at the Banque. Where are you?"
"I'm not there but I will in 30 minutes."
"Okay see you then." Said Chief. He hangs up and they hadn't called till about late November.
At this point I still have the damn phone number in my contacts and have it listed as "Do Not Answer/ Neko." And I still to this damn day answer it ONCE in a great while to see who's on the other side of the phone. In essence I'll go on record to say it's a plagued phone number which adds a slight spice into my life. I never phone this phone number before and I seriously don't know who the fuck it is. However, I'll go on record to say, if it's a phone number which I actually DO know the person on the other side and this has been a prank. Good show, good show... We've unknowingly kept a good prank going between the both of us.
