I don't use my cell for much.  It's a smartphone, so I generally use the PDA functions a lot more than the actual phone.  Aside from getting spam texts from a friend of mine and occasional telemarketers, I rarely spend more than a few minutes a day typing out replies or talking on it.

Today however I recieved a random text from a number I didn't recognize, and couldn't help but have a wee bit of fun with the guy on the other end.  I was at work the whole time so I didn't draw it out quite as long as Swiss' professionally trained trolls.


???: Hey whos number is this?

Me: Probably not who you think it is.  I don't recognize your number either, if that's any consolation.

???: Ha ok well this is shawn anderson*

Me: Nice to meet you, Shawn.  Can I ask where you got this number from?

Shawn: Idk it was in my phone who is this though?

Me: By "in my phone" do you mean "it was there when I bought it" or "I saved it but forgot who you are"?

Shawn: I mean someone took my phone n put this number in

Me: Oh, well in that case I completely understand.  You don't remember who it was, do you?

Shawn: Ok but who is this?

Me: Shawn, bear with me here.  Only a handful of people know my cell number.  If someone's putting it on random phones I'd really like to know who's doing it.

Shawn: Idk who it was just tell me who it is.

Me: I'm Wilford Brimley and I'd like to talk to you for a few minutes about diabeetus.

Shawn: U spelled it wrong.

Me: You really don't know who I am?

Shawn: No

Me: IT'S BILLY MAYS HERE WITH ANOTHER FANTASTIC PRODUCT!

Shawn: Ok who ever this is is rly annoying.

Me: Shawn, you've been a good sport.  I honestly don't know you or how my number found its way to your phone.  Why don't we keep it that way?  Have a nice day.

I love how he comes to you

I love how he comes to you (in a figurative sense) and then gets annoyed by you. +5 trolling points (points can be spent by registering in the store; must send name, social security and date of birth).

Oh god, you should has so

Oh god, you should has so said you were Agent Tom Brimley and then convinced him he's part of a serious security leak and should meet you under a nearby bridge with a briefcase of unmarked 100$ bills by dawn.
