So we were watching TV last night around 9:30pm, when my cell phone started chiming with a text message. Most of my friends don't usually text me at night, and the majority of my texts are from Natalie anyway. So it was a little odd to get one at that time.
I went over to the table where I had my phone sitting and I didn't recognize the number. If it was a friend of mine, their name would come up. But I opened the phone up to see the message and it was really funny. It said, "hey I'm getting drunk on Pico. Come on down!"
I started laughing because obviously this was a wrong number. And who gets drunk on Pico? Was he standing in the middle of the road doing this? Who knows? But I decided to text him back. I wrote that I'd be right down! And then I get this message back that said, "shit I'm so wasted already! Bring me my joose, ok? And bring ya friend too."
Huh? First off, what is joose? I guess that's booze or something. And at this point I wasn't sure if he thought I was a guy or a girl. He wanted me to bring a friend. So either he thought I was his booty call, or he thought I was one of his pals. I couldn't tell. It was early for a booty call, but if he was already wasted in the middle of Pico Boulevard, he might not have cared what time it was.
So I wrote back and asked him which friend I should bring. And should it be orange joose or grape? He responded, "lol fucker. You know what I meant." Nope, I didn't. But since he called me a fucker, I assumed this wasn't a booty call. I was his buddy. So I told him I'd be there in ten minutes and I'd have a case full of joose for him.
He seemed excited. He texted back, "right on! Peace out motherfucker." By this time, Natalie and I were rolling on the couch with laughter. We were no longer that interested in the show we were watching because this was a lot more fun. I wonder how long that dude waited for his friend to show up? And where the hell was he exactly? He never actually gave a real location. Pico is a pretty big street. He could have been anywhere!
But yeah, that was fun. It's almost like a new era of prank calls. And since I'm easily entertained, this was really amusing to me. I should text him again and tell him to meet me somewhere. I bet he'd show up as long as I said I had joose for him...

you know, you'd think that someone would just select the number from their contact list!

silver--No kidding! That's what I always do too. Everyone I'd want to talk to is already in my contact list. But this guy didn't strike me as being very bright anyway. He was drinking too much joose! -

I used to get picture messages from someone I didn't know. I got one of his ass once. I kept telling him that I didn't know him but he wouldn't believe me!!! I'm glad it's finally stopped though! He didn't have a very nice ass :) -
tizzygirl said on Oct 12, 2007....
it does occur to me that joose could have been steroids? They call that juice here, although I thought they spelled it juice....but since I'm not really in that crowd I don't know! -
evil_twin said on Oct 12, 2007....
tizzy--You got pictures of some strange guys ugly ass? Hilarious! And I wonder if you're right about the joose? I have no idea. Maybe he thought I was his drug dealer? That's a scary thought! -

I used to get text messages from some guy who WOULD NOT believe that I wasn't Maria. Most of it was in spanish, and I know enough spanish to know that it was a booty call most of the time. I finally told him I'd have his phone cut off if he didn't stop texting me. -

Not really a prank call or anything, but a fun phone story. The house I lived in with my parents before I went to college, we would get phone calls from bill collectors asking for Paula. None of us is named Paula, so of course we said they had a wrong number; there's no Paula here. But they kept calling, and from several different companies. And being bill collectors, they assumed (of course) that one of us WAS Paula and we were just saying otherwise to avoid them. They actually got pretty aggressive. I remember at one point my dad yelling at them to come up to the house and knock at the door, and he would take them on a tour and show them that Paula wasn't here :p I don't know exactly what he did to finally make them stop calling, but it involved him taking the phone into his bedroom when they called and staying in there with the door closed for a looooong time...I'm guessing it wasn't pretty!
It turns out that we had been given what used to be Paula's number. And her debts were so outrageous that even after the required 18-month waiting period to recycle a phone number, they were STILL trying to call her!! From what I recall, and I totally forget how we found this out because I was in that stage where I didn't ask too many questions of my parents, it had something to do with charges she'd run up on calling cards or cell phones or pay phones or something similar. She would get one, run the bill up, and then get another one without paying and on and on it went. We found out eventually it was some $20,000 worth of phone charges she owed!

uniquely--You should have told him you'd be right over to service his needs. And then you could laugh when you thought about him waiting anxiously for Maria to arrive!
batty--Glad you thought it was funny!
nytquill--Oh, I used to get calls like that at work. There was a guy who worked for us for about three months. He was a real loser and a flake and we had to let him go. But for almost 6 months after, I'd get collection calls for him. And they wouldn't believe me when I said he didn't work there anymore. Some of these callers were really rude and nasty too. They accused me of lying to protect him! I didn't even like the guy, much less would I lie for him. But he must have just stopped paying all his bills completely. I got calls from every credit card and cell phone company known to man. It was crazy!

This was sooo funny! But you forgot to say it was my idea to send him the first message! You were just going to ignore it. But aren't you glad you decided to play along? LOL
And Tizzygirl, I got a picture once that was worse than an ass! I got a picture of something else. And it wasn't that impressive either! LOL He thought I was someone else though b/c when i texted him back and told him to stop sending me dirty pictures, he asked me if I was named Kaitlyn! LOL Ooops!

HAHAHAHA OMG that is hilarious. WTF is joose??? You should test him back, I would, ask him how he feels today, lol -

A little update first: I got an actual phone call from the mystery drunk texter last night. He thought my name was Cedric! I didn't think I could pull that off so I told him he had the wrong number. That confused him. I wonder if he figured out why Cedric never showed up with the joose now? Thank God this guy can't find me because he sounded scary.
Anyway, comments now...
cutie--Yes, it was your idea. You said it would be super funny if I texted him back and you were right! You're awesome :-) And that's really nasty, yet hilarious that you got a picture of some guy's unimpressiveness. Poor Kaitlyn! Whoever she is. I gotta say, if you're sending naked pictures to someone, you better make sure you've got the right number!
tara--I still don't know what joose is. After hearing the guy speak last night, I think it's like a code word for a 40 ouncer in a paper bag!

One of my students recently emailed me to say he would be missing my class because he had "slipped on an eggcorn" (LOL) and hurt his back. I went on the premise that this was just too funny and embarrassing not to be true, so I excused the absence. I hope he turns out to be better at practicing medicine than he is at spelling. Thankfully, most doctors have such bad handwriting, you can't read most of it anyway. -

hahaahhhahaha the cost of drunk dialling!!!!!!! =) -

artemis--That's too funny! Egg corn? I sure hope that this guy gets a little smarter before he starts putting people's lives in his hands! Even if I can't read my doctors writing, I'd hope he knew the difference between and acorn and an egg corn!
queen--No kidding!
