With so many cell phones in the world, it’s no wonder that every so often anda receive a strange text message from someone anda don’t know. Chances are it’s a wrong number. Simple as that. But what if it isn’t? What if the message is really a clue to some top-secret puzzle, atau sent from a spy trying to warn anda of an assassination attempt?
These are the thoughts that run through our minds whenever we receive the message “where r u?” from a phone number we do not recognize. How do anda handle these coded messages/wrong numbers? Here are a few options.
1. Text back – It’s tempting. If anda don’t know the person, why not send a message, “Who is this?” and wait for a response? We'll tell anda why not: because the person on the other end might be a high-tech serial killer simply waiting to make sure you’re near your cell phone before he hits the correct sequence of buttons that will blow up your phone, killing atau maiming you. We found no recorded evidence of such an attack, but that only means the government doesn’t want us to know about it.
2. Look up the number online – There is a lot of information online, but finding a cell phone number on the internet is almost impossible. anda could spend a good five menit trying to track down the caller, only to learn that the digits aren’t listed anywhere. Plus, you’ll need to suffer through snotty Google’s constant badgering of, “Did anda mean….” No, Google. We didn’t mean that. We meant what we said, anda arrogant know-it-all.
3. Pretend it was from a celebrity – There are many artis in the world, and they all have cell phones. Even Tom Hanks. There’s a slim chance that such a celeb sent out a text message to anda oleh mistake. So, without doing any research whatsoever, feel free to assume the odd text message came from your favorit celebrity. It just might be true.
4. Wait for lebih information – If anda do not respond, the person on the other end might send a follow-up message, such as, “Mike and I are going bowling,” atau “I’m a high-tech serial killer who shall blow up your cell phone.” Play the waiting game, and lebih clues may follow. (Discontinue the waiting game after two days, because the game is pretty much over oleh then. anda lost.)
5. Ask your friends – Sometimes a friend might be using someone else’s cell phone, atau a new phone, thus resulting in a strange phone number, so anda may want to ask around. oleh process of elimination, anda could check with all of your friends and relatives oleh sending out a text message such as, “Did anda text me?” atau “Did anda text me, fool?” This probably won’t work, but at least now all of your friends and relatives think you’re populer because anda get fancy text messages.
6. Write an artikel about it for SparkNotes, and hope the culprit reveals himself/herself in the komentar section.
7. Bury the phone in the backyard – Because the old woman in the scary house told anda it’s the only way to stop the curse.
8. Do nothing.
9. Overanalyze the message – What could “where r u?” mean? Was it sent from your secret crush? Did the texter use playful R’s and U’s because s/he is in cinta with you? Should anda put on fancy clothes and pack a bag because this mystery lover is about to whisk anda away on a romantic motorcycle ride across the country? Is this how anda will find the cinta of your life?! Eeeee!
10. Send the person a foto of your butt – As if anda haven’t already done this.
