You use your cell phone with that mouth?

As many of you may remember, such is the social whirlwind that is my life that I'm occasionally plagued with messages from people I've never heard of. This hasn't happened via my phone for awhile (the email doppelganger in New York is having quite the academic career however, considering how many university mailing lists she seems to have signed me up for), but I was reminded of how particularly dumb some of the local young men can be with this morning's thankfully brief conversation:

::Phone rings; I pick up::

Me: Hello? ::Silence:: Hello?

Random guy who thinks he knows me: You motherfucker! (He sounded pretty happy, so maybe that's just how he greets his really good friends.)

Me: You have the wrong number, dude!

Random guy who thinks he knows me: ::Hangs up::

I can only hope that he hung up so quickly out of deep embarrassment that he was so rude to a total stranger, but an apology would have been nice. At least my son didn't pick up the phone, especially as he was expecting a call about a play date.

What is it with College Station guys? This is the second time that a male with my city's area code has made an ass of himself by calling me by accident (the previous young man refused to believe that I wasn't his girlfriend), then not even being nice enough to apologize before they hung up.

I suppose I could always call this guy back and demand an apology; I do have his number. Heh.

LOL!!!

A friend of mine got a text from a wrong number that was trying to arrange a drug sale!!

Wow. That must have been awkward! Glad that hasn't happened to me for sure.

You get all the fun calls.

The ones I get are always creditors looking for some deadbeat who shares some small bit of info with us, yet is not us. And they never ever want to believe it.

Arg! I've had one or two of those myself, but they're never fun. How were you able to convince the creditor you weren't the deadbeats they were looking for?

Maybe your number is someone's "phone number", like the one they give out when they don't want to give their real number to obnoxious frat boys.

LOL. God, just my luck!
