Hey sexy

Some of the funniest things happen to me by accident via my mobile phone because my name is Adeline and I'm often at the top of people's call list. I'd like to hear from Aarons who may experience the same thing.

A former boss once called me by accident at 4am in the morning with what sounded like vigorous er, activity going on in the background. I asked his PA to delete me the next day. I also don't keep my boss' phone number on my phone in case the reverse accident happens.

An acquaintance also accidentally left me a voicemail that consisted of her having a blazing row with her husband. I've never told her about it.

Anyway, my latest anecdote comes outside of my own network: either a case of someone giving the wrong number or the sender mistyping the number given.

Last week I started to get some strange messages from an unknown number:
Hey sexy r we still on for tonight

I ignored this, thinking it might be a prank or a case of mistaken sending that the sender would soon realise, feel embarrassed about and then resend to the right person. But that evening another message came:
Hey so is tonight when we finally do it doggy style babe

Thinking that perhaps this person hadn't realised his/her mistake I sent:
I think you have the wrong number. I have no idea who this is.

The reply:
Is this nathan who i met last night at kens karate klub

Now, the previous night I spent having dinner with my boyfriend, his mother and his mother's friend in Wahroonga and I don't think you'd call it a karate club. I actually didn't know anything about Kens Karate Klub, so I Googled it and it turns out it's a gay sauna. So the answer was 'no':
Sorry mate, you've been given a dud number.

He was flippant about it, though:
Bummer thanks anyways

Bummer—or no bummer for him, actually—indeed.
