Virgin Mobile is aiming to prevent drunken dialing in Australia by providing a way to blacklist numbers so that they can’t be called until 6AM. According to a survey by the company, over 95 percent of drinkers make phone calls after imbibing, with 30 percent of calls going to the most dreaded of recipients: ex-partners.
Sounds like a great step to add into the break up routine. Slam door, blacklist SO’s phone number while highlighting the numbers of their cute friends, get pissed. It would be replacing my previous Step 2, ‘set self aflame.’
