Lives sure are easily "ruined" in Vice land.

  When I saw the title I wondered, how can someone's life be ruined by wrong number calls? Turns out it wasn't.

  1000s of phone calls coming into your personal/main phone number at a rapid rate would ruin lives at this point. You'd basically have to get a new number to prevent it which is a big problem for most.

    You'd basically have to get a new number Utter ruin.

      For people who’ve had the same number for decades like me and hundreds of contacts, it does matter.

        Getting falsely accused if a grave crime, and doing time in jail, is a true 1st world ruin event. Dying of starvation, or curable diseases, losing your family to war, in many places. Losing your phone number is not. You devalue the meaning of "ruin", and minimize the experience of true ruined lives, if you truly mean it. Of course you're free to do so, as I'm free to mock it.
