Over the past few days I have had a few texts and phone calls with a new business partner I just met about a week ago. Hes an older gentleman, much older than me. Kind of you guy you can just tell wouldn't be great with technology.

Well, hes a super nice dude, and within an hour of meeting him for the first time he confided in me his wife passed in her sleep just like 2 weeks prior. I was kind of taken back that he would open up about that to me as he was more or less a complete stranger. It didn't stop there....he pulled out his phone, went to his pictures and showed me one of his wife. Dead. In their bed. As he found her that night. He said he wanted to take a picture for the coroner, but I suspect maybe he just wanted one last picture of his wife. Of all the pictures he could have shown me, a complete stranger, he showed me the one of her deceased and said "isn't she gorgeous."


But wait, thats not even the sad part I'm getting to! Earlier he sent me a text that was clearly not for me. Guess he got messed up from texting me earlier. I'm not going to type out the mans text.....but it was clearly to someone he really cared about. I didn't respond and just hoped he wouldn't notice and be embarrassed. I knew it was for his deceased wife. About 30 minutes after the text, he sent another one apologizing profusely and verified it was for her.


Sorry for the wall of text. This really got to me though. I've been having a horrible month. One of the worst of my life. And this accidental text kind of put things into perspective. I'm not going through what hes going through. I need to be thankful for that.
 
I've done it actually.

I had an alert for a separate text conversation and android brought me to a separate thread where I responded to the text I had the alert for. That happened on maybe five separate occasions but none of it was super embarrassing.
 
You turned a fun thread into a depressing one at lightning speed. In fact, you do that to all your threads.
 
Post the pic of the wife so we can verify she's gorgeous.
 
I routinely send texts to the wrong person. I get a text that pops up, you click on it to respond, and the phone defaults to the last person YOU texted. Whoever wrote that program must of been some computer nerd who's never dated more than one girl at the same time.

Happens to me all the time.
I've had this cell number now for 8+ years and still get calls/texts for the guy (Shane) who had the number prior to me. For the first few years I'd get 1-2 per week, then it dropped to 1 per month, now I get maybe 1 every other month.

At first I used to reply that this number was no longer Shane's (he evidently used the number not only for personal stuff but also business dealings, and I didn't want to hurt his business). As time's gone on I've gotten more and more annoyed and brazen with my responses. Everything from the simple "Shane is dead" to "Send nudes" to "Come on over but the front door is broken so just come around back". I've committed Shane to playing golf numerous times (wonder how long they hung out waiting for him to show up?) and a few years ago I convinced one of Shane's friends to go ahead and book airfare to Vegas and that "Shane" would reimburse him later. When someone asks what time they should be over I always ask them to pick up a few items (i.e. "On your way stop off and pick up a pair of bbq tongs and a plunger").

At this point if someone still is using an 8+ year old number for Shane, I figure that they aren't that close and tend to just string them along and enjoy myself with f#cking with them. And if Shane were to ever get upset, he knows my number.

Holy fuck, you are evil but I absolutely love it.


Years and years ago, a women texted me thinking I was some guy she was cheating on her husband with. I went along with it. Even got her to send nudes..........me and my buddy that were with me were having a riot. Then her husband I guess found her phone and our messages, and he started texting me. Then he called, started yelling about how he knows where I live and how he was going to come to my front door and kick my teeth in. Since he obviously thought he was talking to someone else, I made the mature choice to tell him "BRING IT ON YOU FUCKING PUSSY ILL BE WAITING BY THE DOOR FOR YOU!"

To this day, I still wonder what happened. Maybe the real guy got beat up. Maybe he got murdered. I also wonder if the slut ever even realized she texted the wrong number.
 
My personal favorite was back around 2010. I was working in Kenya had the time as a wildlife biologist in its best known game reserve, and one day I got a text—it was longer than this and included some Swahili, but ended with something to the effect of: "Stay away from my daughter, and if she will be pregnant you will be in big trouble STUPID!!!" This was followed by repeated calls, and when I'd answer the person would seem confused and say they didn't understand my language (my Swahili was not, at the time, well-developed at all), before continuing to call. I found this particularly confusing, since the text was partially in English.

I asked a Kenyan colleague to call the number and try to convince them I'm some foreigner living in a game reserve and definitely did NOT impregnate their daughter. He told me that the woman he spoke to had lent her phone to a friend who did not have her own, and that she had a coastal accent.
 
"I have had a few texts and phone calls with a new business partner I just met about a week ago. Hes an older gentleman, much older than me." Damn, i knew times were tough, but didn't realize they were 'giving up the booty' tough.

Anyhoo, one saturday a few years ago i got a text in spanish. I tried my best to respond in spanish that they had the wrong number, and then they replied in broken english. I found this strange, but decided to be helpful, and practice what little spanish i know, and gave them advice on what present they should get for the birthday party, and how things were going, etc. I had tried to tell them they had the wrong number, but apparently they did not believe me or didn't understand. Normally i would have ignored them, but i decided to be nice. This went on for several exchanges before they finally got that i was not the person they were looking for.
