Text Message Fail

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

I get a lot of text messages.  Most of them are from twitter (*COUGH* @mchandphoto *COUGH COUGH*) (*COUGH* @failhardblog), but occasionally I get one from a real person.  It’s awesome, but sometimes it’s a wrong number.

I’ll wake up, turn on my phone and I’ll get a text that says: “hey sweetie, how are ya? :) ”  Naturally I’m perplexed, and somewhat excited.  I’ll respond with something witty, or as witty as I can muster after waking up, and then wait for a response.  And the response is always the same, “who is this?”  Crap.  I’ll tell them and they’ll tell me they screwed up and sent the first text to the wrong person.

I don’t know why I get those, but I do.  And I know you do too.

Frankly I’m surprised that those out-weigh the ones wherein the sender DOESN’T KNOW MY NAME.  “Hey, is this Tom?”  You mean Yom?  “Oh yeah that’s what I meant lol.  how ya doin buddy?”  Buddy?  YOU DON’T KNOW MY NAME!!!  “Hey Mark, it’s [whoever] from [where ever]“  It’s Mike actually.  Who are you?  If they tell my their name, and they’re not a girl, I’ll screw up their name.  It’s fun.
