Cell Phone Comedy of Errors

[beerdiablo]

Always verify new people in your cell phone before sending pictures. I offer you a case study from someone I’ll call, “Miss Dial”:

[unrecognized #] text message: Hey, did you get the pic? Guess you didnt like that.

BeerDiablo text message: No & who r u?

And that was the truth as of the moment I texted back…

[unrecognized #] text message: What? Oh my gosh I am so sorry. Thank god you didn’t get the pics.

[unrecognized #] text message: Is this not Andy?

[unrecognized #] text message: Quit messin around. That’s not funny.

BeerDiablo text message: No. Either the # is written or dialed wrong but I am not he

It occurred to me that this -whether a mistake or scam attempt- would drag on so I called -voicemail. Left a couple of polite, brief sentences to reassure “Miss Dial” that I was not “Andy”.

My cell rang once, yes, it was her. Then a text followed.

[unrecognized #] text message: I am very sorry I had the wrong number. Please forgive me?

BeerDiablo text message: No worries.

[unrecognized #] text message: I hope I didn’t get anyone in trouble.
