adventures in text messages

wherein i am reminded that most people are, in fact, idiots. humanity is doomed.

case in point:
i get some weird, out of context text about something "Derek" says. so i politely respond, asking who this is and what the context is. the response? "Brian ****ing lee. the brian from 30 mins ago."

and i'm all "I think you have the wrong number. Pls stop sending me texts and excuse your language. Thanks!" look, i'm a lady, ok?. i do not take kindly to being randomly cursed at by some IMBECILE who thinks they are talking to someone else. also, (as a woman) i'm a little creeped out and about to see if i can get my service provider to block this weirdo from sending me texts. you are wasting my money!

he responds, "Paige [who he thinks he is talking to], I was just at the track with you." wonder what track this is. racetrack? track and field? why do i care? i don't. i simply thank the higher powers that i had finally decided to get a text messaging plan instead of being charged $0.15 for every text sent and received.

then 10 minutes later "OMG I'M SO SORRY MY FRIEND HAD HER NUMBER SWITCHED."

fin.

and now, for things i DO like: the true blood men. on DETAILS. ALEX SKARSGARD, HELLOOO.

people are so dumb. they always act like you have the wrong number when they are calling you!

funny story, a cousin on my mom's side called his friend and got a wrong number and got a random chick instead. they started talking and later....after many dates and such, GOT MARRIED.

weird.

i'm not saying that was your future husband.

Ha, that reminds me of my aunt who called the wrong number one day and got a 92-year old native american man named Johnny Pail Face. They talked for hours and he told her about his life growing up on the reservation, how he learned to speak seven languages, the night god spoke to him through his bedroom ceiling and dabbling as a meteorologist. Turns out he lives a few towns over, so she invited him out for ice cream and they have been great friends ever since! :)

another example when you could've missed out on your second bestest friend (first is already taken by best (only) roommate ever!)
