Well, lately I’ve been getting WAY too many spam texts. They all come from unknown area codes, and usually just start with “Hi” or something equally pointless. Very obvious when they come in, and there are probably 5-10 per day, and it’s irritating.
I decided a few weeks back to start sending them Goatse in an attempt to dissuade them from continuing to pester me. So far, nobody has ever responded, and it may only be placebo effect, but it does feel like they’ve slowed down!
Cut to this morning. I get the telltale “Hi” text, and immediately sling my response. Mere seconds after sending it, I get the “Hi, this is your Costco delivery team, we’ll be there in 30 minutes message.” I just sent our poor fridge delivery people a gaping Goatse. I feel horrible.
They did not respond. I got a call ~2 hours later saying that a new team would be delivering my fridge tomorrow, because today’s team didn’t feel comfortable delivering to my house because of “a text picture you sent.”
TL;DR: I sent an innocent Costco delivery guy Goatse because I thought they were a spammer.
I want to die.
