Very Dangerous Things

cellmistake

Who hasn’t done something like this? You call your wife on your cell phone. You plan is to start the conservation with heavy breathing and a sexually suggestive opening line, because the normal way of calling people is dull and boring. She answers and you let it rip while trying not to laugh.

And someone says, “Uh, Tom, I think you were trying to call someone else.”

Your sister is totally right. Her name is just above your wife’s on your contact list because they start with the same letter. Yes, you realize, these phones are dangerous. But fortunately, your sister is totally cool and lets it slide.

I remembered that incident after reading about a guy who was trying to hire someone to kill one of his so-called friends. He was sitting in a room with another so-called man, discussing the details of how the guy was going to do the hit. I don’t know anything about the background of the story, but it didn’t sound like the guy needed to hire a hit-man – what he really needed to hire was a Male Acquaintance Relationship Counselor. He seemed to make poor choices when it came to men.

Partway through the conversation the guy hiring the killer managed to butt-call with his cell phone. And of all the people he could call by mistake, who did this guy call?

Yup, the “friend” he was planning to have killed.

The call went to voicemail. In the resulting message the guy could be heard talking in detail about how he wanted the assassination to take place. He basically recorded his own confession using his butt. I think this adds new meaning to the phrase “speaking out of your ass.”

Butt-Caller Guy wasn’t lucky like me. His “friend” didn’t let it slide and roll with things, he went to the police. Yes, these phones are very dangerous things.

  1. What an amateur! If he doesn’t know how to not butt-call someone, he deserves to have made an arse of it and got caught!

  2. You’d be surprised how often I take a 911 call and then have to listen to people discussing their private lives … I can always hear them but they never can hear me yelling to them.

  3. I one time had a butt calling incident and the person on the other end found out why I was so pissed off at them. At the time, I was mortified. Now, a few years later, it was the best mistake I ever made. So glad to see them go. Is that mean?
