2. Ignore them.

For some reason, who knows why, you're getting these calls. They are pranks or the phone equivalent of spam, or some such. Don't worry about them. Just block numbers if possible, but ignore them.

I keep on getting calls on my landline of various sorts, lately from the phony IRS scam. I've taken to letting calls where I don't recognize the number go to the answering machine. About 75% of the time they hang up without leaving a message. The other 25% a message is left that I don't need or care to respond to.

Unfortunately, modern technology means we're going to continue to be subject to this crap into the indefinite future. Do not invest any emotional energy into this at all. They are unsolicited. Period. End of story. Go open a bottle of wine, crack a can of beer, eat a brownie, whatever soothes you.

And hang in there.
