I don't want to just say, "Wrong number." I think I could have way more fun with these messages than that!
Saturday Conversation
(502) Area Code: Kentucky
502-***-****: Apart from being sexy, what do you do for a living? Answer honestly this time ;)
(10 minutes later)
Me: I go to school, eat lots of food, and watch a lot of Investigation Discovery shows. But thanks for the compliment.
502-***-****: What?
Me: You asked me what I did for a living other than being sexy and I told you.
502-***-*****: ...this isn't Marcia is it?
After that, I decided not to respond. I really wish I would have now because I could have had a great conversation going.
Tuesday Conversation
(707) Area Code: California
707-***-****: Hey, what's up?
(No response)
707-***-****: I already talked to ya but I'll be voting at that time, so I can't go. Sorry gurl!
Me: I'm sorry, I feel rude. Who is this?
707-***-****: Kasey?
Me: Kasey who? I don't think I know a Kasey.
707-***-****: OH STOP IT! You know exactly who this is.
(No response)
15 minutes later...
707-***-****: Yeah, this is the wrong number. Sorry, I thought you were a friend of mine. Got the number mixed up.
Wednesday Conversation
I have to admit Wednesday's conversation was by far the longest one I held, mainly because I was trying to tell this Jared character that I was not Marcia (if that is who he thought I was). He never really gave me a clear indication that that was who he was trying to reach. This man/boy was very vague. Our conversation took a turn at the end though; a turn I completely did NOT want to take.
(330) Area Code: Ohio (at least it's in the same state this time)
330-***-****: Yo, what you doing?
Me: I am at work. Who is this?
330-***-****: Jared...
Me: Jared who?
330-***-****: Jared *****, the only one you know?
Me: I don't know you, I think you have the wrong number.
330-***-****: No i don't. I just txted u eariler and u responded.
Me: ?? If you are trying to reach a Marcia, we have similiar phone numbers and this is not hers.
330-***-****: i c.
(No response)
330-***-****: Y u answer when I text u then?
Me: I said I was working and then asked who you were.
330-***-****: Wut is your name then?
Me: Dolores.
330-***-****: o i c
-End of conversation (that day)-
Today's Conversation
This just happened while I was at work. My phone buzzed in my bag and I was expecting a text from a friend. Much to my surprise, it was my new-found friend Jared! (I had to write a blog post now!)
330-***-**** (Jared): Yo
Me: Still not Marcia.
330-***-****: I kno. I want 2 know who u r.
Me: Dolores.
330-***-****: i kno. Last name?
Me: (after googling) Farder (Note: I didn't want to be too graphic)
330-***-****: r u on Fb?
Me: No. I'm a little too old for Fb.
330-***-****: how old r u
Me: 67

I think this last conversation has to top all of the others. I am just shocked a stranger who I don't even know tried getting to know me and asked me for my first and last name. I feel like a predator was in my midst! That's why technology is scary...
I am not sure how my phone became so popular. I used to just get texts from close friends and not more than maybe four conversations a day, but now my phone is getting hit up from all over the nation!
No, I don't have my number on my Facebook or any other social media outlet. That would be just silly! However, someone is either pranking me all the time or has almost the same number as me. Whoever this other person is, they need to learn how to give out their number correctly. I'm sorry I don't know you Kasey and I am not Marcia. Girl, give your number out the right way (don't use my number as a rejection hotline)!
I will admit though, it's been great entertainment for me!

| Who is this? How did you get my number? |
Ha! This is hilarious. People are so strange and I love that you tried striking up conversations with them. I hope they find your blog and start commenting. =]
ReplyDeleteOh my word I laughed so hard while I was reading this. This is definitely something I could see you doing! I've had a similar issue in the past and it is a bit scary. I've had the same Hispanic man call my phone and every time I tell him he's got the wrong number. There have been a couple of times that he has tried to ask me who I was and I immediately hung up the phone. That may sound rude, but you never know. There are some serious weirdos out there!
ReplyDeleteThis is really weird! I've gotten strange texts before but never that many in the same short time period. I think it's funny that Jared is trying to get to know you though!
