It is pretty bad at the moment for texts and calls from guys stuck at home or bored at work with no cash. I have been watching What We Do In The Shadows on BBC and my favourite character is Colin Robinson who is an energy vampire. He feeds on anger, frustration and anxiety which he causes by winding up or boring humans.
Recent episode showed him with ten laptops messaging people on social media, getting them angry and het up and him feeding off that. Big smile on his face that he had found a way to feed without leaving the house!
Timewasters wind up escorts with stupid enquiries or by texting "Hey!" or "Are you free?" or "Hi" or "I am a good looking six foot man do you want to see me?" and then text "??" when you don't reply within 2 minutes. This gets us angry and stressed; the timewasters are feeding off that. They could all be Colin Robinson.
So next really stupid message I receive I will challenge them and reply "Hi, I know you are really Colin Robinson"
