A conversation in text messages with a stranger

Posted by patribus at 11:56

STRANGER: Ay fat boy!

[I don't respond, hoping the person just had the wrong number.]

STRANGER: Yo what's up.

ME: Nothing much. Who is this?

STRANGER: Who's this first?

ME: You're the one that texted me. Who are you?

STRANGER: Wait a minute. This Shaun.

ME: Ok, Shaun. You have the wrong number.

STRANGER, NOW KNOWN AS SHAUN: Yea, sorry.

FIN.

I should kept the conversation going, but I accidentally erased the number.


The weirdest text message I've ever sent someone: "I'm at Costco and I don't see any nuns. There are an inordinate amount of redheads here though."

In conclusion, friends beware, because I'm going to try and make every text I send sound really weird.

P.S. I have another blog/website thing on this account that's supposed to be professional and I accidentally added this post to that. I don't think my professors would be amused as I am by this.

    i think it's interesting and worth noting that you assume the stranger's name to be spelled "Shuan"

    perhaps by drawing on his initial text of "Ay fat boy!" one may assume that it is indeed his irish proclamation of "Ay" spilling over, and thus, his name is spelled "Sean"

    p.s. Seamus is the coolest name. Ever.

    p.p.s your blog made me spell "uniforkm" to post this comment. what a uniforkmy thing for your blog to do!

    That's how he spelled his name, so i figured i'd go with it.

    Seamus? I don't think so. It reminds me of something else.

    Is it racist of me to assume he's black? Maybe. He does leave out the verb "to be" at least once, and he spells it "Shaun", not "Sean". But maybe he's not black. Did he really put in those apostrophes?
