Usually, we wouldn't be too big a fan of obnoxious lads asking for our numbers.

It's annoying, it's unnecessary, it's not going to lead to anything other than a few uninspired texts and probably an eventual block because nobody wants to be dealing with that, to be honest. And yet, many men are still of the opinion that hounding a woman for her number is going to get them somewhere. Trust us lads, it's not. If you do happen to find yourself in that situation though, there are a few things you can do. You can give a fake number. You can tell them to please leave you alone. You can throw a drink over them and then demand that they buy you another to make up the alcohol you lost. All good options... but not as good as what this woman did. When Twitter user 'Sassafrantz' was asked for her number by an obnoxious guy, she decided to give it to him. Except she didn't give him her number. She's just change his mam's contact details on his phone to her name so he'd start messaging his mam instead. Excellent. We're not entirely sure that she does like dick pics and booty calls, Sassafrantz, but hey, at least she'll know what kind of man her son is now. The screenshot, originally posted on Bored Panda, clearly inspired a lot of people to share their own stories of warding off strange men. And they did not disappoint.

"Back in the day we didn't have cell phones (yeah I am old) and so we could get really creative with phone numbers that we would give out to the creeps. My go to was the Planned Parenthood phone number."

Stunning. While some users did take it upon themselves to defend this "obnoxious" man, claiming that he did not deserve to be played this way, others were of the opinion that there was only one victim in this whole debacle. ... That guy's poor mother.
