    I received 30 calls from my own number on one day last week.  They called the next day but only 3 times.  I can't even block the number because it is my own.

    Why can't you block your own number?

    Tell your son if he starts getting irate messages like that again to change his voicemail to state his number has been spoofed and that unless they know him, he didn't call them.

    I was being sarcastic. I can't see how I could call myself from the phone I was calling anyway. :-)

    In this day of people being born with a cell phone in hand, its not that far fetched to believe someone at some point in time was looking at themself in a mirror and thought how do I upgrade a selfie. Got it, I'll call myself while doing it!!

    The first selfie ever to include a call to themself was by a lonely scammer in Pakistan, hovering over a small dirt hole, naked from the waist down and  looking at a broken rear view mirror stuck in the curtain doorway from a recent car bomb.
    Word spread among the call center's larger, crowded dirt hole during a lunch break,  paving the way for scammers worldwide to make calls to people using their own number.

    You forgot to preface it with "Fun fact". Sheldon almost always prefaces his info with "fun fact" or "interesting fact". :-)

    Anytime I want to talk to myself, I always know exactly where I am, what I am doing, and I am always within earshot of my voice.  :)

    I say, if I'm talking to myself at least I know I'll get the answers I want. :-)
    I once worked with a woman who not only talked to herself but ARGUED with herself. It was - odd.
