I got a call from "UPS" on a Sunday saying they were trying to deliver a package to me and I wasn't home. I was literally two feet from the door on the couch with the door open. And it was Sunday.

Traced the number to Jamaica. So I locked the door and went golfing.

I have a plan for those situations complete with sector sketches. I wish a MF'er would...

Got a text from someone asking if they could buy a shirt even though they promised to do better managing their money. I told them they should get one for them and one for me.

That's a sound decision on your part

Not strange really, but I have a Knoxville area code and there's a social worker who lives in Knoxville with the same number as mine except she has a Nashville area code. I get phone calls fairly often intended for her from old people asking for help. I obviously feel obligated to help. I try to tell these old people to dial 615 first, but they get confused and never remember. So often I'm relaying messages to the social worker. She said she's very clear with everyone that she has a 615 area code but they're old and they forget.

Damn, that's a tough spot.

About two years ago, I sent a random text to someone that said, "I buried the body. What next?"

Ive had a few weird texts. Someone was putting my number down for their rental furniture and never paid for the stuff. I got threatening voicemails for a few months.

I was going through my phone today and texted a friend I haven't talked to in awhile, and they changed their number, so I'm waiting for that text to be posted in here.

I got a call from a woman acting like an attorney. She said that I had gotten a loan from a certain bank and didn't pay it back. I kept telling her that I had not had a loan from said bank. She said they was taking me to court and took a warrant out on me. She said that if I have her my credit card number the police wouldn't come get me. I've never been in trouble like that so I was a little upset. The funny thing was I was living in Illinois at the time but she was saying I lived in SC. I was still using my SC number. So I got my sister who went to school to become a lawyer to call the number back. It had a California area code. A man answered. After my sister told him why she was calling he started cussing her etc saying all kinds of vulgar things. So it turned out to be some kind of scam. Well they scared me pretty bad.

I remember getting this text message from a number I didn't recognize and looked back in the phone and found it. I don't know how to copy and paste a series of text messages so I will just type it out. My wife passed away on June 19th and I got this on June 23rd.
Text: Hi sweetie, hope your day went well. I love you, have a good night.
Me: Did you send this to the right person?
Text: I apologize.
Me: It's ok, my wife just passed away and I was hoping it was from her. Thanks

I got this, not really strange, just annoying. If i told you it's the wrong number, telling me who you are doesn't change that fact.

Got a wrong number text once years ago in the old flip phone days and saved the whole ridiculous exchange:

rio: sup iridian
rio: sup iridian from rio
pis: sup rio im not iridian
rio: who r u
pis: not iridian
rio: who r u
pis: not iridian
rio: then who r u !
pis: the wrong no u dialed
rio: who r u then tell me!
pis: does it matter?
rio: stop texting me or im calling the cops
pis: you texted me
rio: ok just stop or i will call the cops
pis: u stop


Yeah, I know, it's all unmet potential and anticlimax but I was out walking the dog at the time. And it was a flip phone! I was happy though that it all ended with me saying "u stop" like an 8 year old.

I signed up to get a Google Voice number a few years back just to have one and it forwards any texts or calls to my cell phone. I've had several funny/weird voice mails. One was a woman telling me she was going to be late for the presentation and that she had to redo part of it and that it was important that I brought my laptop. Another was a chiropractor from one of those "we cure everything" type places who went into great detail about the medical conditions he thought the person he thought I was had.

But the funniest was a text I got from a woman named Nancy, and it said something like "I really need you to come over tonight". After 30 minutes I got another text that "Look we don't have to do it but I need you to play with it".

along the lines of the following adage:

Stay low, move fast, shoot first, die last, one shot, one kill, no luck, all skill.

There is a certain degree of finesse. I do not like wasting ammo.

However, if you do miss that first shot, the look on their face is precious. :)

I got a cell # at around '03 or '04. Apparently it used to belong to female name Christina. I got calls and texts for Christina all the freaking time. She was quite the popular one. It got old quick. Some of Christina's friends refused to believe that the number was no longer hers. I started being a jerk to whoever called asking for her.

Example:
Me: Hello.
Caller: Yo, who dis is?
Me: Who are you trying to reach?
Caller: (Angrily) For real, yo, who dis is?
Me: Who dis is? You called me, a****e! You don't get to ask "who dis is!"

I went to Sprint and had them give me a new number after I got this voicemail:

"I don't know who you are, [my name], but I want Christina to call me right f***ing now. If I find out that you've been f***ing Christina, I'm going to find you, and I'm going to kill you both. You better pray to God she calls me back within the hour, or you're a f***ing dead man."

The caller ID came from a Kroger store a few miles from my apartment at the time. That was when I decided I needed to remove myself from Christina's life.
