Wrong Number

Wrong Number

This is a story of a text gone so wrong it was great.

I’m sitting at home on a Friday night recuperating from my week with friendship and tasty beers when I receive a text. My first thought is it’s my sister letting me know how amazing the Rasputina show is. I open the message and it’s from an unknown number. 707-xxx-xxxx. Sonoma. Most of the people I have met here in the Bay Area have either have a Marin-San Francisco area code of 415 or a home state number outside of California. I’ve had my current number long enough to know that the previous proprieter was, well, less than honerable. The following “conversation” ensued. (All typos are direct copies from the texts)

707: So my friend katie and I are out drinking you should come out with us. I’m sure you will say no. And no I’m not going to hook up with you I just think it would be fun. I’m in petaluma.
Me: Who is this?! This is his wife. (When I received the above text I immediately had to figure out how to mess with this person. I was in proper company for this. We played all the right angles..was it a jealous girlfriend? A man? Someone I actually knew and didn’t recognize the number?)
707: It was a joke lol. Haha. I was dared to do it haha. My name is jason butler.
Me: Haha syke! You have the wrong number! Fun!
707: Aww damn…Well sorrif I woke you. I have stupid friends…
Me: No worries! Beer + wrong number = hilarity!
707: It does!! Hahaha!! Hey I covered you ass good!! Come out and hang out with tipsy me I’m so fun!!
Me: Goodnight! Have fun! :-)
707: You too!! Hahaha! This is too funny!
707: Ya know what really funny is the dude I was texting has a crazy ex wife. You really did scare me. Hahahahaha
Me: Oh man!!! Literally laughed out loud! Glad it was mistake! :-)
707: Lol I know!!! I even texted him saying “ahh…Ihave you other number saved and I think I just messaged you wife”.
707: I’m drunk so I’m not gonna text this number anymore hahaha!!
Me: Sounds good! :-) good luck!
707: K. Nice chatting. Haha :)
