My extremely estranged father called me last night. Haven't spoken to him in nearly 20yrs.*
Me, hesitantly answering a call from a number I don't recognize 🧑🦲: This is Karstan
Dad 👨🦳: <pause> Hello?
🧑🦲, ready to hang up on the apparent autodialer: Hello?
👨🦳: Well, it sounds like you.
Me, realizing who it is: Oh god. No thank you. <click>
* He is an extremely shitty person, who by all accounts (from my siblings that maintain minimal contact with him) has only gotten worse over the years
