The other afternoon, my mobile rang and I let it roll to voice mail.
I saw the number, but didn't recognize it.

A message was left, that said only this:
"Fig??? I heard you were in last stages of a terminal disease.  Izzat true? Hmmm...I hope so." And hung up.

I checked some information, and found out the call had come from a person I had worked with a while back.
This person was always a jerk, and I wonder if I have any recourse if I have the voicemail and the # it came from.

Anybody?

You sure this person wasn't just yanking your chain in a trying-to-be-funny way that didn't quite come across as they intended?

That's troubling. I guess the guy had a need to confirm his Jerkhood (or is that "Jerkness"?)

He sounds way beyond rational discussion. Don't waste your time...

...but is there a harassment case, or mis-using corporate assets (the call was from the office), or some threat implied?  

I'd just like to be able to intelligently use some threat of legal action to get him to wet his pants.

I doubt wishing someone ill is actionable. Curious, how did he get your private cell number? If he acquired it through less than legal means, you might have something.

I sort of doubt it, too, garrettwc.  I have it all over town on biz cards for my little PC repair enterprise.  Could have picked it up that way.  Also, that person still works with a few who would know it, if inquiries were made.  It's not hard to find me, generally.  

...Be Prepared.

I hope it is not true.

You'd have to be a real sack of Sh** to say that to somebody just because you didn't get along with them.

No, yes, no.

Threaten to beat his ass.

Or better yet, if you're still working for the same company has he is, report the incident to human resources. It will go into his permanent file with the company.

Felonious- You may want to remove the last 2 lines of your post, just in case.  Hate for anything to be determined to be "pre-determined", know what I mean?

Done. pre-wha? Them's big words, ex-m.

Declaration, The reports of my untimely demise are grossly exaggerated. Wink

Got some joint pain, and thinning hairline, but otherwise, the flag still goes all the way to the top of the flagpole, and I'm just cantankerous enough to keep folks guessing.

Regards,
Fig

Take the high road on this one, Fig.  There are far too many jerks in the world to waste time on.

Go to the range instead.

You're getting worked up over this?  It's trivial.  Let it go.
