First, the backstory!
So, we live in the country, about 4 miles outside of the nearest town, therefore we are out of range of cable. We’re technically within range of DSL, but the phone company refuses to update the phone lines down my road. So, we were stuck with dial up for the last 10 years that we’ve had a computer. We now have a wireless connection through our cell phone company, which is at least a tad faster than dial up, but it’s also got a 5GB monthly cap… So for my internet usage, we got an aircard and unlimited data plan.
Now, basically, this aircard has it’s own SIM card and phone number. So it can send and receive text messages, and I believe I could hook up a microphone and make phone calls on it, if we had a normal cell plan on it. This leads into…
Ever since about a week after we got this thing, it’s been getting a pretty regular stream of text messages from someone. It’s very obviously someone who doesn’t realize their friend changed phone numbers. I thought it was funny the first times, but now, about a month later, I’m starting to feel sorry for the person, because the friend obviously hasn’t contacted them, and the messages are along the lines of “Why are you ignoring me?” and such.
So I can’t decide if I should text message this person back from my cell phone(as texting isn’t a part of the data plan), explaining the situation, or just let it keep going. I feel sorry for ‘em, but I don’t want to find out they’re an obsessive freak of a person who will become overly attached to my slight show of concern and then BAM! I got a mutha fuckin’ stalker.
So what should I do?
Hurrah for paper writing procrastination with a stupid blog entry! Which I’m sure I’ll make another entry about after I actually write this paper.
