I was having lunch with a small group of former co-workers (the four of us have remained good friends although we haven’t worked together in several years) last week and we were, of course, yakking away during the meal. So we’re trading stories, catching up, blathering on, and I mentioned that I kept getting these voice mails from some guy I didn’t know, and that even though the messages he was leaving were on my cell phone voice mail, the guy was mentioning another woman’s name. The guy had left a message on my voice mail, for someone else, just the previous night.
“I don’t know why this guy keeps leaving messages on my voice mail for some chick named Amanda,” I said. “You’d think he’d have realized by now he has the wrong number. If he’s not leaving a phone number to call back, they probably know each other and it’s implied she knows the number - so why can’t he get her number right?”
My male friend: “Silver, the guy obviously wants to hear your voice. You’ve got that phone-sex girl voice so of course he’s going to keep calling your voice mail back.”
Laughter round the table while I tried to think of a snappy comeback, but of course, I couldn’t think of a good zinger on the spot.
Later, the best I could come up with was, “I guess you’re just jealous my voice is deeper than yours.” (Lame, I know. :rolleyes: )
But, I was by myself when I came up with it, so… I guess that doesn’t count.
I guess it’s waaaay too late to e-mail him with a good retort.
But if you can suggest any, I’ll gladly e-mail the bugger with a few anyway.
