vi_pn Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 For the past 2 weeks I've been trying to call my friend, after an incident that we had. Well the phone message still says, "phone # temporarily not in service". I can't imagine him not paying his phone bill in the last 2 weeks, so now I'm kinda worried what happened to him. The last time I talked to him, we kinda had an argument where I called him a couple times to tell him I had a problem, and when he answered he was irritated, and wouldn't let me tell him what problem I was having. So I text messaged him telling him that I was pulled over by a cop, and that I wouldn't have been able to meet up with him. Well...he thinks his phone is tapped for certain "reasons", so he shuts it off sometimes. So later on that night he had called from a friend's phone but I didn't answer because I was mad @ him (he called twice). Now after 2 weeks of his phone being off, I'm wondering if I got him in trouble by texting with the word cop? I doubt he would change his # due to that incident, so what's up?
alphamale Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Well...he thinks his phone is tapped for certain "reasons", so he shuts it off sometimes. maybe he went off his medications?

norajane Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 TExting with the word cop means absolutely zero. Is this guy a drug dealer or something? He might have abandoned his old phone in favor of a new one.

He might have abandoned his old phone in favor of a new one. Well yes...he's in that "field" but not so much the dealing part of it. He loses his phone sometimes, and yah maybe he swaps phones...but why is that? To sell if for money or drugs? Or what?
Author vi_pn Posted July 30, 2006 Author Posted July 30, 2006 I actually called his phone carrier (company), punched in his number and it said he has a balance that's past due. So apparently he hasn't paid his bill, but geez after 2 weeks? Although, the last time I talked to him, he told me he wasn't working as much because he's kinda deep in his "habit". Either that or he's in jail!
magichands Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 I thought that text-ing "cop" anywhere in the message to a person's phone sends a policeman out to their address? That used to be way things were done. But it's just a casual knock on their door - they only send in the SWAT team if you make it "cops."

For example, if someone he's dealing to gets busted, the cops will often check the phone records/numbers in the phone. They usually let the small users go if they give information about who they're buying from...the cops want to get to the big distributors.
Guest Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 ...the cops want to get to the big distributors. Who like? Government officials (Maj Oliver North) Afghan Warlords, Mossad, The I.R.A, yeah... like sure they would cut off the kick backs from those guys, It's all gravy baby

magichands Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 What if you text "pigs" or "the fuzz" or maybe even "donut"?? Now you've made me hungry!!!! Please somebody text "chocolate glazed donut" to 1-800-MGC-HNDS. I hope it works.

Well I checked today to see if his phone was back on, but it's not...and it's been 2 weeks! It's never been that long that he's had his phone turned off, or cut off I should say. He knows I'm not involved with that "stuff" so if I told him I got pulled over by a cop, (for speeding) then what would be wrong? Like I said before the only other reason is that he could be in jail, but I doubt it. So I'm guessing that he's hurting for money to even pay for his cell phone bill? How is that? I thought people made good money doing that sh*t

Author vi_pn Posted July 31, 2006 Author Posted July 31, 2006 The only ones that have money are the ones that don't USE it as well as selling. duh to me but yah you're right, and plus since he's getting deeper into his habit, he's been calling into work...so he's not making any money there at least. I kinda hate "tip toeing" around with him especially on the phone, because if I ever say something in the wrong manner, I don't want him getting in trouble, but do you think he'd be mad at me for that reason? I mean he knows that I'm kinda naive about all of it, and I'm thinking since I've been friends with him for a year now, it hasn't made much of a difference. So I guess that's why I'm a lil worried now, because he's becoming more moody. I wouldn't tolerate this behavior from anyone else...I can be a b*tch sometimes, but I know he needs help and I'm trying to be patient with him and be there when he needs me. I'm just not sure how much longer I can hold on to this up and down relationship. Is it worth it? Or should I just let him go?
norajane Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 He's not mad at you because you texted the word cop. By now, he probably doesn't even remember that you did. His phone is cut off because he hasn't paid his bill. He can't pay his bill because he's getting deeper into his habit, which is costing him more, and he's calling off work, so he's earning less. His moods are due to the drugs. I don't know which ones you're talking about; they all have different effects on mood, personality and behavior. I don't know what this relationship means to you, so I can't advise you on what to do or whether it's worth it. If his drug use is affecting his job, his relationships, and he can't afford to pay his bills, I'd say he's in a danger zone. It's probably more than you can actually help him with; addictions are tough to break without professional help and a strong desire to get it under control.

But I don't want that incident to ruin our friendship, especially because I'm not seeing that guy anymore. I really miss the way me and him used to be, and that's why I'm trying to be patient and be his friend as much as I can be, because I know he's in trouble and it seems like no one else is giving him a chance. but you're right, he needs to see it for himself first
mariJane Posted July 31, 2006 Posted July 31, 2006 if hes that paranoid, dont think you really want this person in your life anyway.
