And for my next act

You know when you call someone and it's clearly the wrong number?

That happened to me this week. I got two missed calls from a phone number I didn't recognize on Wednesday - one at approximately 3:30am, one at 6:30am. At the time I noticed this, it was about 11ish, and the same phone number called right as I was trying to figure out who would be calling me at 3:30am that I didn't have a caller ID picture and specialized ringtone.

I answered, and they disconnected. Nice.

Then they texted "Who is this?"

Public Service Announcement: If you call three times and disconnect without leaving a voicemail, you have forfeited your right to be nosey and ask who it is you are calling.

After a few exchanges like "I think you have the wrong number" "I don't know who you are" I get this ...

"you wasn't a bartender last nite was you"

I wish I was making this up. But I'm not that creative. I resisted the urge to reply with the grammar and spelling corrected, and instead indicated AGAIN that they had the wrong person.

I mean, I have been known to sleepwalk, sleeptalk, but sleepBARTEND?

Classic! I received a "wrong number" text message recently. "They" informed me that if they came up then we'd have to smoke some *insert illegal drug here*. I immediately texted back to inform them of the mishap. "They" then replied with "ain't this kevin". Why no it's not. I resisted the urge to tell them I was the state police now tracing their cell phone signal.

Funny! When we were living in Texas we used to get *collect* phone calls from the jail from some INMATE named Jo-Jo. ????? Nice. Needless to say, we never accepted.

The only bar you tend at 3:30 better be Zesty. There's a reason they call it "nursing a beer."

I once has a text stalker missing my body. Um, yeeeeeaaahhh. Not so much. Especially considering Charming was oh, newish. After about 15, got a "sorry to bother." Whatever! Get your numbers right, texters!

Like foreverfoldinglaundry, I just keep getting a collect call from a local prison inmade (no, I don't know the name or voice).
Then, I hang up rather than take it, of course.
This week, it was a "complimentary" call, I do believe, but I hung up too fast to be sure.
I really should program that number as "Wrong Number" so I stop answering it!
