They are desperate to fix the PR problem you created, which you are under no obligation to help them with — but fuck that, what matters is assuring your coverage. You may have said before, but is there any way Dude or your sisters can make calls for you? I find it much easier to call for other people than for myself. Phone calls are not the measure of adulting.
Am I wrong to be super creeped out, though, that they looked at my Twitter account, which I almost feel like doesn’t have my last name displayed anywhere, and somehow from that figured out which of their customers I was– which, ok, my name isn’t common but it’s not rare either– and called me??? Seriously?? I’m really– I mean, it’s not like I was complaining anonymously on Twitter, but– from my first name and my handle, which not-quite-matches my email address? I mean, how did they know which one I was???
Like, I mean, of course they did, it’s not rocket science, but– for real? For real for real?
What the fuck.
Insofar as other people making phone calls for me… I don’t even know who to ask. It seems so stupid. Dude has complained about hating to make calls, it’s been a whole thing that he hates making phone calls, so I don’t feel like I can ask him. And I’d feel ridiculous asking anyone else.
I don’t do well at asking for help. It’s not something I do. I don’t feel like I deserve it, and if I feel like I owe someone a favor it’s like, fucking, knives in my gut, I can’t function. I fixate on how embarrassed I am and can’t actually think enough to speak or react.
I like doing favors. I hate being done favors. I feel wretched the entire time and literally can’t think about anything else. Not even, like, the person’s on the phone for me and is like “they say X, what’s your answer” and I’m like “hlargle blurgh argh whatever just get them off the phone”, so that never really works out. It’s actually worse than just making the call myself. Well, hard to say.
I’d pretty much rather stick a fork in my eye than ask someone to make a phone call for me, but I’d also rather stick a fork in my eye than make a phone call, so I’ve run out of eyes and still not solved my problems.
