random acts of desperation
Pris' post about a funny phone conversation made me think of one I had a few years ago. His has a better punchline, but whatever.
Me: Hello?
Some guy: Hello?
Me: Hello?
Guy: Do you know who this is?
Me: No.
Annoying Guy: Guess.
Me: Uh, no thanks.
Really Annoying Guy: C'mon just guess who this is!
Me: I have no idea.
Persistent Guy: Just guess.
Me: Okay, Tom.
Needy Guy: Who is Tom? Okay, try again.
Me: I really don't want to.
[this goes on much longer than it should]
Needy Annoying Guy: C'mon, guess!
Me: I'm pretty sure I don't know you. Do you know who I am?
Embarassed Guy: Um, Cathy?
Me: Sorry, you've got the wrong number.
Hopeful Guy: Oh, sorry. You sound really cute. What's your name?
Me: I'm married.
Trying to meet a girl on a wrong number? How sorry is that?
At BYU, we had a group of guys randomly dial our number who wanted to meet us. My friends thought they sounded cute, so we went. Yeah, guys that call girls randomly aren't nearly as cute as they are desperate. We also had a missionary who wrote us because he knew the girls who lived in our Heritage Halls apartment the year before. That's a little funny, but still pretty pathetic.
