An unsettling chain of events... - Nubblies.net Forums

Repugnant Abomination · 11-09-2007, 07:09 PM

I'm at work right now. I work at the University help desk and switch board (campus operator). I worked switch board today. Everything was going fine until I got a strange phone call...

***Please note*** this is 100% true, it just happened, and I'm very uneasy about it.

The phone rings and I answer, "SOU, how can I direct your call?" On the other end of the line it's kind of...Scratchy. The voice is a man's, and he's irritated, almost frantic. He starts going off about how I need to call the police, right now, and tell them to stop harassing him. It totally caught me off guard. So I tell him I'm only the operator and I again ask him who he would like me to transfer him to. He informs me he's not a student here (yet) and the government is trying to stop him - whatever that means. At this point I'm pretty sure this is a prank call, but I'm morbidly curious, so I ask him why they're harassing him. He says because he's uncovered a huge government conspiracy in the state of Oregon, and that Bush knows about it, and Hilary. He claims the government is behind the huge meth problem in the state, and he can prove it, and they're all pissed off. He says because of this the police are following him, harassing him, trying to silence him.

He informs me that what he's telling me is a threat to our national security.

I ask him what he wants from me, and he says he wants me to help him. He doesn't know where to turn. I ask him if this is a joke, and he tells me no.

He starts asking weird questions, like am I recording the conversation, how old I am - totally random stuff. At this point I pretty much say that there's nothing I can do and I'm hanging up.

"You're in danger"

Wtf.

He tells me that I'm involved now and to lay low. I'm a little spooked, but for the most part think he's full of it. I hang up.

About 20 minutes later the police dept calls (we have caller ID), but when I answer nobody is on the other end.

I finally get off work and am walking to my car. In the distance I can see a car about 10 feet away from mine on the opposite side of the road. There's some fucking guy leaning out the passenger side window taking pictures of my plates. No - fucking - joke. When I get closer they speed off. It was a white, unmarked car. I couldn't tell if it was a cop car or not.

Basically I'm pretty freaked out right now. Either I'm the victim of a very elaborate prank, or...I don't even know. This whole thing is fucked up.

Wow, this kind of shit sends shivers up my spine. Not sure what it is, but for sure keep us updated, and I'd like for you to post at least once a day. Also, PM me your address and phone number just in case you drop off and aren't posting anymore, if that is the case then i'm coming to Oregon.

Ugly Bastard · 11-09-2007, 10:58 PM

Holy shit, dude! Do you know anyone who works in the police department? Could be friends playing a prank on you? That's obviously the most logical explanation. I was 100% sold on it being a prank caller/schizo on the phone, but a guy taking pictures of your plates in an unmarked white car obv makes this pretty trippy.

Ugly Bastard · 11-09-2007, 10:59 PM

Also, it should be noted that the two incidents could be unrelated, though that would be a seemingly huge coincidence.

Ugly Bastard · 11-09-2007, 11:00 PM

My roommate made another good point: maybe they were taking pictures of something else, but since you were already a little paranoid, you assumed they were taking pictures of your car. How sure are you they were photographing your plates?

Ugly Bastard · 11-09-2007, 11:03 PM

The fact that he said "Hilary knows about it," definitely makes me think this is a prank (and not a very good one). Why would a NY Senator/Presidential Candidate be informed about anything relating to meth in Oregon?

Cocktooth · 11-09-2007, 11:16 PM

That is some crazy shit. I would be peeking out your windows occasionally. Def. keep us updated.

Ugly Bastard · 11-09-2007, 11:36 PM

How composed did the guy sound? Did he sound like a paranoid schizo, or did he sound convincing? Was he just like freaked out and rambling? Or was he saying stuff like, "listen, man, I know this sounds crazy, but I swear I'm not a nut-job, please help me!"

Repugnant Abomination · 11-09-2007, 11:48 PM

All good points, UB. I really think it was a prank...I mean seriously, it had to have been.

The guy on the other end of the phone sounded like a mad man, honestly. Very paranoid, but passionate about what he was saying. He was really reluctant to tell me just what he knew, which was weird. I kind of had to force it out of him.

Repugnant Abomination · 11-10-2007, 12:22 AM

You know what, fuck this. This is really starting to bother me now. I'm going to get to the bottom of this thing. No more pussy-footing around.

Sending now.

Cocktooth · 11-10-2007, 01:09 AM

If this story is true, we could all be in this same boat, couldn't we? We now know all the information that these two know. The government could pull Nubblies by tomorrow morning.

Mr. Blonde · 11-10-2007, 04:59 AM

if the government pulls nubblies...haha that would be interesting. 'Gaz, it isn't april fools yet.

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 11-10-2007, 09:52 AM

most likely its just a kid that is mentally fucked up and a paranoid repug. but if repug turns up missing it could all be true, and this could be a great nubblies caper!

Orgazmo · 11-10-2007, 12:47 PM

I like this a lot. Get to the bottom of it, motherfucker. Now that you've shared the story, you can't be silenced. Nubblies can't be silenced.

f3lix · 11-10-2007, 03:43 PM

Move to elite?

Ugly Bastard · 11-10-2007, 05:19 PM

Yes. I vote we make this potentially incredible thread accessible only to regular members of Nubblies. Good thinking, f3lix!!

Beebs · 11-10-2007, 08:34 PM

Jesus, is it that hard to explain?

The guy is clearly a meth-head who has been up a few days, the scratchy voice, the fact that his conspiracy involves meth. Meth makes you insanely paranoid when youve been using for a few days, theres a guy on another forum who used to make and sell it and him and his roommates once painted their house in the middle of the night under flood lights.

Then, with this on your mind, you notice things that you wouldn't normally register, just like once you start noticing a certain time on a clock you begin to notice it over and over, its just natural behavior, chill out.

Repugnant Abomnation · 11-11-2007, 02:46 AM

Haha! turns out it was just some of my friends pulling a prank on me LOL.

That is elaborate... It's been too long since I've pulled any kind of hijinx on anyone like this, I'm going to have to do something soon.

Who the fuck is this? He only has 2 posts.

DJ FC · 04-25-2010, 07:24 AM

Wait.

So this case isn't solved yet, is it?

Is it RA pulling a prank on us?

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 04-25-2010, 08:48 AM

After this thread, Repug didn't post for a few days. That doppleganger was my attempt to make you all think he was abducted. But you all were too stupid to care.

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
