Oh dear. As I was sitting here trying to think of something to write a blog post about, the phone rang. Not recognizing the number on my Caller ID on TV, I let the machine pick it up. It turns out, I am being sued by the Social Security Administration. At least, the first part of the recorded message was cut off, so maybe my husband, Steven, is the one being sued.
Obviously I am now too stressed to make a proper blog post. I didn’t know government agencies sued people. I thought they garnished your wages or threw you in jail (as a side note: when people talk about garnishing wages, am I the only one that flashes on sprigs of parsley?). Perhaps I should listen to the message again…
Filing a lawsuit AND an arrest warrant. And the beginning of the message was not cut off; they just didn’t say who the message was for. They told me to press one now, but obviously I could not do that, since I had not picked up the phone at the time.
Anyways, it gave me three paragraphs of a blog post. I think I’ll still be able to sleep tonight as well as avoid stress eating over a potential lawsuit or arrest. But I will definitely keep you posted on any further developments.
Scam?
Oh, no doubt. I just felt like being silly about it (me, silly? Say it ain’t so! ).
A few months ago the SSA told me I was in trouble too. I have decided to let them repossess my social security number. Then they can pay my taxes for me. I feel like my logic is quite sound! 🙂
It sounds good to me!
