Text messaging is fun. Sarcasm heavilly implied.
So, at about 2:00 this morning, I received a call from "Number Withheld." I only know one person who doesn't show up on my caller ID, so I texted him, asking if he'd called me. Here's the resulting text message, and subsequent replies (all replies are sic).
Me: Did you just call me?
Him: I did. I have a serious beef with u but it can wait until exams are over. Serious beef. I did not realise how manipulative a person u r. U have serious issues. U sincerely need help. I'm considering taking legal action on u 4 slander.
Me: What the hell did I do?
Him: You'll find out after exams. U did something to me during that yr that turned the whole class into thinking I did something that u took out of context completely. Your twisted. Seriously twisted. U need alot of help.
Me: I have no idea what you're talking about, nor why you're bringing it up now of all times, but if you have to talk, then I'll listen after tonight.
Him: U know i should just laugh. Because your existence is so sad u have to create drama. I feel very sorry for u. U really r an emotional mess. But what goes around comes around. If u don't know what i'm talking about u will. I advice u2 not talk with me as i will b totally ignoring u.
Me: Then why did you call in the first place?
Him: To let u know that u r very very guilty of slander. Obviously legal action is unlikely. Anger makes me say that. But i will make sure the wrong gets righted. I'll make sure the entire class knows. I will undo what u did. I'm shocked at u. U need to get a life. No more texts incase u take it as attention.
Um. WHAT? I honestly haven't the slightest idea what I did to piss this guy off. We were studying not four days ago, and we seemed fine. We were getting along. I really have no idea what's going on here, or what I'm said to have done. I'll fully admit that there was a period wherein I didn't like this guy -- and I pretty much don't right now as well -- but I've always been at the very least civil to him. The only "slander" I can think of is when he's been overtly crude to me, and I relay the tale -- with the exact words -- to another person. Can that even be considered slander?
But dammit. Some of those words can hurt.
ED: He's just called twice. I let my voicemail get it. I'm actually kind of frightened right now. He lives less than a four minute walk from my place.
