With so many cell phones in the world, it’s no wonder that every so often あなた receive a strange text message from someone あなた 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, または sent from a spy trying to warn あなた 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 あなた handle these coded messages/wrong numbers? Here are a few options.
1. Text back – It’s tempting. If あなた don’t know the person, why not send a message, “Who is this?” and wait for a response? We'll tell あなた 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 または 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. あなた could spend a good five 分 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 あなた mean….” No, Google. We didn’t mean that. We meant what we said, あなた arrogant know-it-all.
3. Pretend it was from a celebrity – There are many セレブ 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 あなた によって mistake. So, without doing any research whatsoever, feel free to assume the odd text message came from your お気に入り celebrity. It just might be true.
4. Wait for もっと見る information – If あなた do not respond, the person on the other end might send a follow-up message, such as, “Mike and I are going bowling,” または “I’m a high-tech serial killer who shall blow up your cell phone.” Play the waiting game, and もっと見る clues may follow. (Discontinue the waiting game after two days, because the game is pretty much over によって then. あなた lost.)
5. Ask your フレンズ – Sometimes a friend might be using someone else’s cell phone, または a new phone, thus resulting in a strange phone number, so あなた may want to ask around. によって process of elimination, あなた could check with all of your フレンズ and relatives によって sending out a text message such as, “Did あなた text me?” または “Did あなた text me, fool?” This probably won’t work, but at least now all of your フレンズ and relatives think you’re 人気 because あなた get fancy text messages.
6. Write an 記事 about it for SparkNotes, and hope the culprit reveals himself/herself in the コメント section.
7. Bury the phone in the backyard – Because the old woman in the scary house told あなた 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 愛 with you? Should あなた put on fancy clothes and pack a bag because this mystery lover is about to whisk あなた away on a romantic motorcycle ride across the country? Is this how あなた will find the 愛 of your life?! Eeeee!
10. Send the person a 写真 of your butt – As if あなた haven’t already done this.
