Do you ever get text pages on your phone that were intended for someone else?
I just now got a text that said, “Hi Pastor Mark. This is So-and-so. Just wanted to see if you have time to meet today.”*
I wanted so badly to call this guy and find out why he so desperately wants to meet with his Pastor on a Saturday morning. Then again, I have enough going on in my own life that I don’t need someone else’s burdens. I sent him a reply page telling him he reached the wrong person. I didn’t want him thinking his Pastor snubbed him in a time of need.
Ben has received “booty call” text pages. He doesn’t respond to them and I wonder if the girl thinks the intended recipient is not interested in her.
I used to receive wrong number voicemails on my work phone all the time. It was some poor kid looking for his mama to pick him up. It was such a sad voice. He never left a call back number so I never knew how to call him back and say he has the wrong number. Gosh, I hope his mother eventually picked him up.
I also once got a voicemail on my phone from someone trying to go through the 12 step process and was in the apologizing step. He left a long message and was asking for the girl to call him back so he could apologize properly. He left a number but I never called to tell him he had the wrong number. I always wondered if he moved on to the next step properly without getting to apologize to the girl.
What about you? have you ever received a text page in error? Do you write back? Any interesting wrong number voicemails?
