danny8630 Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Im sure im am not the only one with these problems, but everytime i become drunk or somehow...in an altered state, i always find myself calling my ex g/f for an unknown reason. The next day is complete regret of calling, but damn. Im sure someone can relate...guy or girl, does anyone have any tips or suggestions for avoiding this mishap of doing a drunken call?
Artifact Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Alright, so I've never done it. But I have been on the receiving end many times. However much I looooove to be woken up from a deep sleep to hear a mumbling friend of mine tell me something I didn't want to know, I am still going to tell you how to avoid it. DO NOT take your cell phone out with you. Most likely if someone else offers you a phone, you won't be able to remember the phone number you need anyway. DO NOT fill you pockets with quarters for the pay phone. (Again, you probably won't remember the number anyway) And last, make sure you are drunk enough that, even if you are able to get around all the loop holes, no one will EVER be able to understand you. That way, you can change your story the next day.
Naive Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 For some reason when I first saw the title to this I tought it was going to be the other way around and danny was on the receiving end.

katty Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Funny story actually with my breakup with Blaine I have avoided alcohol at all cost, b/c I was afraid I would wind up calling him and either telling him off or even worse how much I love him and how he hurt me. I only say this b/c I am not proud of it but the r/s before Blaine that I was in for 7 years every time we broke up I would go out with my friends and be so mad at him for something and then call him when I was intoxicated which usually resulted in my friends taking me to his house to make up. UGH I don't do that anymore.. First of all I think Blaine would be very upset with me, but never had the urge to call him except for one time I remember he was paranoid about me going out with friends over a weekend and wanted me to call him first thing when I got home that night. Well me being a good g/f was going to do just that but also (remember I was really drunk,) I needed to go the bathroom so I started dialing his number and plop my cell phone fell in the toilet. Blaine never let me live that one down. Guess thats why I don't call now, no actually I am afraid to drink anything b/c I think I must get brave and lose my pride or something and call and I don't want to do that. Best of luck.

Merin Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Drunk Dialing.. got to love it! They should have a breathalizer on cell phones... you MUST blow into the reciever BEFORE you can call... "NOPE sorry, your a** is waaaayyy to be drunk to be calling anyone!" then it instantly dials your best friend or local cab.
katty Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 a great idea. Wonder if I could get one of those put on my cell phone. Just in case.
Naive Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Merin you should call that invention line!!! I'm serious!

Can you imagine the money the cell phone companys could make if only they offered this fine service? Daaammnnn I can get unlimited text messaging, voice mail, music downloads AND a way to NOT totally make an a** of myself when I've had to much to drink ????? Pssshhhhhh sign me up!

Author danny8630 Posted November 9, 2004 Author Posted November 9, 2004 thanks for your replies! lol, sorry about the title mix up, i typed up the post at i forget what time. oh well, but thanks for the pointers, especially the one about not taking out the cell phone with me. I dont say anything crazy when i call her because it would be a miracle if she picks it up(because of the hour) and she would probably be at work and wouldnt see the call until way late. She returned my call the other day and when she said she had recieved my call i said "i called you? oh my god, i didnt try to call you " you know... like a cover up. But, i do remember the night when i supposedly did call her... i did actually try but then i thought about it 5 minutes later to touch on the mistake i made but i mustve deleted her number right after i called it because i didnt see it on the recent calls list. yeah its a mess, im going to get over this though with your help lol. Thanks all
GiveAndTake Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 They should have a breathalizer on cell phones... you MUST blow into the reciever BEFORE you can call... Very good idea, the cab companies would make a fortune!
Artifact Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Originally posted by GiveAndTake Very good idea, the cab companies would make a fortune! Yeah, you breathe into the phone then, 1. either the keypad is unlocked or 2. the GPS on the cell phone locates you and a cab rolls up right before your eyes.
JamVan Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Great idea! It's funny cause with my ex, she drunk calls me all the time as soon as I give her the space she's asked for. Always wondering what I'm up to, where I am. I think it shows a state of confusion! She's even told me recently she's had the cab drive by my place to see if I'm there or not! I really don't quite get it from my side, she's the one who wants the space, yet she's the one doing all the calling. Again! What a great idea for an invention!
tiki Posted November 9, 2004 Posted November 9, 2004 Danny, just quit calling her. It's a cop-out and you've got to know you're doing it. There's really no excuse, drunk or not. Just quit. Even if you do have to leave your phone elsewhere to curve your temptation.
littlelaxer Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 Well what are u suppose to do/think if ur ex is callin you when hes "drunk". He breaks up with u and him and his buddy sing songs into ur phone. My ex and his one friend sang "my name, weve been thinking about you, and we miss you, byeeee" then he calls again half an hour later but no message. i called him the next day. He called me back and said him and his friend were very drunk and called lots of people, even though it was the middle of the week and they are in the militarty and dont normally drink during the week. He never asked what he said or anything. Im seriously tryin not to think into it. But recent events with him have just not been adding up.............................so what does that mean???? The weekend before he comes to my work when i havent seen him for a month and doesnt even say one word to me, then i get an accidental phone call around 1:00am. He said that was an accident "The phone must of done it accidently cause it was in his pocket" still the phone didnt ring it must of been a quick thing, and he hadnt called me in weeks before all this occured..... so whats that all mean??
Merin Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 Originally posted by littlelaxer "The phone must of done it accidently cause it was in his pocket" so whats that all mean?? Damn! I'm going to start using my cell phone for the reason all bad s*** happens "It wasn't me... it was my motorola"
Author danny8630 Posted November 12, 2004 Author Posted November 12, 2004 wednesday night was my buddies birthday bash and i MADE SURE that i wouldnt call her by mentally telling myself all night that it wasnt going to happen. I told my buddies that if they seen me on my phone, to take it away from me. Nothing needed to be done because i ended up not drinking that night, i wasnt feeling it. but uhh, i mean, i know i am calling her but i usually i cannot stop the all-so-easy dialing. it is getting better.
Artifact Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 Be strong danny... And if you're not, you can always blame the motorola.
Author danny8630 Posted November 12, 2004 Author Posted November 12, 2004 do you all know what the sick part is? It really IS a motorola...
tiki Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 Take her number out of your phone. And forget the number.
Gottabestrong Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 I also feel the urge to call my ex when I am drunk, but unfortunately also when I am not drunk. When I dont hear from him for a few days I start telling myself that it is okay to call him. When I call he either does not pick up or is really cold and distant on the phone. So I told myself to remember how he reacted the last time I called him and to not go there again. Picked up this philosophy yesterday and hope that I will stick to it for a while. But I suppose I will be able to convince myself again, that I have a good reason for calling him, when I feel the urge to. Guess I will just have to start leaving my mobile at home when I go out.
