Jim Perillo 28 years old or so he says

His ad says he’s from Orlando, he gave me a number from Arizona & he says he moved there.

If you want to confirm his number, you can e-mail me.

So I happened across this guy’s ad on Craig’s List while searching for something else. I should have known that this would be an issue, a lot of the people who go on Craig’s List are nutcases, but he seemed nice saying he wanted to move from the States to Canada & I was curious why, so I e-mailed him.

Immediately he started speaking French to me & I told him I didn’t understand French. I thought that would be the end of it, but it wasn’t.

I thought he was a nice guy at first, but after the 3rd e-mail when I tried to call him, he said he won’t pick up the phone if it’s a blocked number.

I told him very nicely that if this is his requirement, I can’t help him, I don’t give out my number right away until after the first call. I wished him all the best.

This has been my policy for almost 10 years & it’s served me well. If he can’t respect that, then that’s fine, we don’t need to talk, it’s no big deal to me, I don’t deal with control freaks & thank god most men “get it” & only a few are extremely insecure & proceed to get livid because I refuse to give out my number before speaking to the person on the phone.

As for being afraid LOL, nothing could be further from the truth. I have a way of doing things & I stick to what works for me. HE’S the one who is afraid to pick up calls from a private caller. I’m not, I pick them up all the time.

I also told him for the 2nd or 3rd time that I DON’T speak French. I don’t like it when people don’t listen & he kept putting in a sentence or two in the e-mails in French. Who cares what his heritage is? I never said anything about heritage, I just wanted him to STOP speaking to me in a language I didn’t understand, but I guess that’s not a logical request in his mind.

This is what he wrote me back & because of it’s semi violent very angry nature, I felt the need to warn others. I’ve asked him to stop e-mailing me, & I hope he will because I don’t tolerate angry immature people.

“Lol! So because I refuse to pick up to ridiculous blocked calls, you feel the need to duck out all together!? Wow! That is sad! You have to block your number for what? You’re a perfect stranger! I don’t care who you are or what you have. Do you really think I’m gonna keep calling you if you don’t want to talk to me? Like the American motto says…”love it or leave it”. If you don’t want to talk to me, then I certainly don’t want to talk to you! And I already know you don’t speak French. I’m proud of my heritage. I’ll say whatever I want to in French. And if that bothers someone…too bad!  People who are too scared to reveal who they are on the phone shouldn’t be on the phone at all. And so, you may now hide… Hide from people you don’t even know. The one thing I have learned from this online crap is that all you people from Toronto are just downright strange! Thank God I’m going to Montreal. Amusez-vous bien. Bon Debarras!”
