Umm?

I just got a text message from some random person saying, "man, who are you y do you have my number" or sumthin like that. I checked my dialed and recieved calls, and my text message outbox to see if the number was there, and it isn't. The area code is the same, so it's most likely a friend pulling a prank, the wrong number (I've had sooo many wrong numbers call me, I must have a similar number to a person with lotsa friends), or a creepy stalker.

Probably a friend.

Aaaaanywayz, I replied with "o.O I could ask you the same."

to which the person responded with "o."

...I think there was supposed to be more o_o


So...when you get text messages from a number you don't recognize, how do you usually respond?

(I couldn't help but notice the chocobo is replaced by the pink elephant sometimes)


EDIT: The person sent another message telling me not to talk to him/her anymore....BUT I WAS TEXTED FIRST :kaocry2:

EDIT 2:
He (I'm guessing it's a guy by now) sent two more messages saying more or less the same thing, to and I replied,
Okay seriously. Who is this? If you don't want to talk to me don't text me.

and he totally freaked out and replied

dude...LEAVE ME ALONE...DAMN !!! smurf OFF ALREADY



What did I do????

Email their phone number. :D Send a billion emails and sign them up for all sorts of spammy things.

Or you could play their game and threaten to call the police if they don't stop stalking/harassing/whatever you. Whee, fight back.

I remember one night on a night out I received a text message saying 'boo i see you' from a number I didn't recognise. I assumed it was my friend Phil messing about (he was the doorman in the bar I was in) so I ignored it and thought nothing of it.

However a couple of weeks previous I had gotten off with a guy called Simon and had given him my number (stupid I know because I suspect he already had a girlfriend) It might have been him.

Incidentally, the night I got that text message was also the night I met my now ex-boyfriend. Perhaps if I had pursued this texter (assuming he was male) I would have been spared all that heartache. Then again, it may have been a wrong number too.

If this keeps happening, change your number. I get freaked out getting text messages from a phone I don't recognise, or even the ones I know but don't have on my phone.

EDIT: Xaven, that is also a good idea.

He hasn't sent anymore...I don't even use my phone much, so I'd definitely notice if it was a number I knew...

With my old phone I used to get calls from random people asking me to fix their windows or something. The same old woman kept leaving messages

So I spoke to her once cursing like mad telling her to stop phoning it's the wrong number! I stopped using it anyway and got a new one

[rubah]

yeah I don't get texts.

One time I got a text asking me to sleepover the persons house and to bring my friends

i was quite creeped out

[Polaris]

Here in Portugal those messages are very common! Once I accidently typed the wrong number accidently and got to a guy and I said 'sorry I probably typed the wrong number ^^' and then he kept texting me asking private questions like 'what's ur name? where do u live?' and I was like 'dude I just got the wrong phone number why the hell do u wanna know that??' another message I loved was a girl saying 'hey bunny get the carriots while I text (probably a friend name)' WTF?? BUNNY? CARRIOTS! I was 14 when I recieved this message and I never forgot it!^^"

I've had wrong numbers call me, but never texts.

If I ever get a text message from someone I don't know, the first thing I do is call them and ask them who they are, and then tell them not to text message me again. Then I call my cell phone provider and demand that they reimburse me for the unwanted text messages. This whole process usually takes about and hour out of my life.

If it's from someone I do know, I call them up and demand that they pay me 15¢ for each text message they sent me. But that usually doesn't happen as my friends and family respect that I don't text messages.

I remember I got the wrong number once when I was trying to reach a friend. And who ever I called called me back the next day and started shouting at me asking how I got this number. I told the person I must have mixed up the number and called that person by mistake and that jerk of the person just kept on yelling at me askng once again where I got the number from when I already answered the questioned. So I said it was a mistake and I hung up.

I often get messages for some woman, I forget who, I also got a voicemail left for her?? the messages are kinda weird but maybe people just talk like that (Im sure they do). I just ignore them, not for me so whatever, its their problem.

Also, I think a certain baloki keeps texting me random messages but I *ALWAYS* forget to save his number so I dont ask who it is anymore so I kinda guess when its him. XD unless.. its someone else then.. i dont know who im texting ;_;

I've had wrong numbers call me, but never texts.

Same here. It's always a guy asking for someone. "Is Bonnie there?" "Is Benny there?" Learn to dial people and stop waking me up at 10am! D=

The cake sex girl that texted SUH Heath amused me.
