When you occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to take it out on someone, don’t take it out on someone you know, take it out on someone you don’t know.

The other day I remembered a phone call I’d forgotten to make. I found the number and dialed it. A man answered, saying “Hello.” I politely said, “This is Xander. Could I please speak with Chuck?” Suddenly a manic voice yelled out in my ear, “Get the right fucking number!” and the phone was slammed down on me. I couldn’t believe that anyone could be so rude.

When I tracked down Chuck’s correct number, I found that I had accidentally transposed the last two digits. After hanging up with Chuck, I decided to call the ‘wrong’ number again. When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled, “You’re an asshole!” and hung up. I wrote his number down with the word ‘asshole’ next to it, and put it in my desk drawer. Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I’d call him up and yell, “You’re an asshole!” It always cheered me up.
