When wrong number text messages fight back

27. I have scars on each wrist that look like I tried to kill myself with an ice pick. The true story, sadly, is far more lame.

(Apparently this happens to me quite often. Check out these posts: 1, 2, 3. Then see this one for something a bit different.)

Dude i dont kno you um 14 ((And this was when I stopped texting back on the count that I like moving into neighborhoods without having to inform everyone in them that I just have a terrible sense of humor and Yes, I can be that stupid.))

advice: If ever you get the joyous opportunity to mess with a stranger via the world of SMS, be sure you have an idea of what you’re doing before you start.

observation: Why is it that it’s always remedial high school girls that wrong number text message me? Is it just in the volume of text messages that they send out
