I think I have literally lost my mind.. but since I have no evidence to prove otherwise, my brain is intact – and this actually happened in real life.
I received a text message last night from a number that wasn’t even close to local.
“Hey how are u?”
Because I have been very busy the last few days, I didn’t feel the need to respond to this. About twenty minutes later, I got another text.
“U there?”
Again, this text was ignored.
Early this afternoon, I received yet another text.
“How are u?”
About an hour and a half later:
“Is this [CatLady]?”
Okay.. this person knows who I am.. I waited a few hours to respond, as again I have had a few things going on to lately. I finally responded..
“Who is this?”
“Its stewart u wanna chat?”
“I don’t know who you are. I’ve got a lot of stuff going on right now.”
“I am a nice guy and what kind of stuff?”
“U there?”
“I am otherwise distracted right now. Everything is fine, but I can’t talk.”
“Oh sorry I will talk to u later”
Two short hours later:
“Is everything going okay [CatLady]? Please let me know.”
…What on earth?
“Explain to me who you are..”
“I am stewart from [city] and u [CatLady]?”
At this point, I am confused, overwhelmed in general from other stuff, and figured the best course of action was to call my “old pal” Stewart and find out what exactly I was missing.
He answered a normal “Hello?” and I said “..And how do I know you?” And as if it wasn’t weird already:
“I saw you on Facebook.”
“On Facebook?”
“Yeah. I saw you and Facebook and want to get to know you. I’m really not a creep.”
Guys- if you feel the need to tell a girl that you aren’t a creep, or creepy.. I hate to break it to you- but you ARE.
My phone number that I use for business is public on my Facebook page. Stewart, I guess, stumbled upon on my page, and decided to PUT MY NUMBER IN HIS PHONE!?
He asked me where I was from, reiterated that he is not a creepy guy.. and I told him that I had family stuff I needed to go take care of. He told me he wants to get to know me. I told him it would have to be another time.
Seriously.. WTF?

And THAT, my dear, is the reason that EVERYTHING on my Facebook is completely and totally private. Jeez Louise. What a creeper.

This happened strictly to add an element of levity to your day. And perhaps ratchet up the chaos level. I love that you cut to the chase and phoned him. I did that with some random guy who kept texting to tell me he wanted to suck my toes. Sometimes I think better health care isn’t a good thing.
