Reveal Yourself!!
Today has been a tiring and frustrating day for me, and probably one big joke to someone else. First of all, apparently its a HUGE mistake to post your cell phone number in your facebook status. I did this after re-activating my cell phone and I think that it led to mysterious texter today.
I replied to a text message at 5am this morning. When I replied I told the person I couldn't understand their text message because it was in french and I asked who the person was. They claimed to be a Marie-eve Cadieux. I knew right off the bat that it was some friends playing a joke on me, because Marie-eve sounds like a fake name and who responds to a text message sent at 5am in the morning!! Even though I knew it was some friends playing a joke on me so I played along for a while, and then I asked who the person really was. This is where it began to get frustrating they just started claiming all these things that make for very awkward situations, and when they started doing that it became even more obvious that this was a friend playing a joke on me. I continued to tell the person that I knew they weren't who they claimed to be, but they continued to lead on that their name was "marie-eve"(it's such a fake name).
This is where my day began to get frustrating. They started bluffing and telling me to call them and they would talk to me in French and I would realize that they were who they said they were. Of course I didn't give in to the demand and call the person. That would have meant that I believed the prank caller if I had called. Then they asked if I wanted them to call me, and I told them I don't need you to call me because I know that you're not who you say you are. If I asked them to call me they also would have won because I would have shown that I believed them. So at this point I started texting and calling a lot of friends to try and figure out who uses the number that was calling me. Nobody seemed to know and I wasn't able to find out. My new strategy is to ignore any demands from the unidentified person and wait until they reveal themselve. Its a bit of a game of chicken but i've seen this strategy used on shows like criminal minds, and the negotiator. When the hostil phones(or sends some kind of message) they wait before responding to let them know who is control. I think this will work, and the texter will reveal him/herself soon enough.
As payback I'd like to post this persons phone number and encourage any misrepresentations of you who are when texting. 613-720-7525. If anybody recognizes this number please contact me and let me know goes by the alias "marie-eve".
I know lent is starting and I just wanted to let people I will be taking suggestions on what to give up for lent. I'll give up whatever the most people suggest, or whatever sounds like the best idea if everybody has different suggestions.
