Patient #3/Graham

Every once in a while I can't resist messing with someone when they set me up to do so. Case in point, todays only responder Graham. For some reason it dawned on me that sending a picture of the view from work, would be a good opening statement other than hi or hello. Now, what you would have to know is that the view from where i work is pretty damn nice So needless to say, i sent the picture of to some random person, graham. But little did I know this persons phone does not receive pictures via text. So after I sent the picture, I got this text back.

G: i don't get pictures, who is this
me: you don't get pics? to bad for you
G: what does that mean? and again who is this?
me: the pic is pretty nice, eye candy if you catch my drift hun lol

So at this point I had committed to screwing with this guy lol. Pretending to be a girl, a girl implying that she is sending nice pics. I saw a window, and went with it. Needless to say, I had a bit of fun at Grahams expense.

G: i still don' know who this is?
me: i'll keep that a secret cause it's more amusing for me lol
G: whatever

At this point I felt as though I may be losing sir Graham, so I sent him the same picture, knowing full well he couldn't see it, but what I did differently was rename the photo, "tits" haha, hoping that he would at least see the title of the pic and wish he could see it. I know I'm evil, but it was a slow day for the texting. So he received the pic of the landscape, thinking it was 'tits"...

G: thats not fair, i told u i can't view pics...do i know you?
me: yes?

I mean in the spur of the moment I didn't know what would get better responses, someone he knew, or a complete stranger...in hindsight probably more funny to go with stranger...maybe next time lol.

G:so who is this, Ashleigh?
me: Nope.

at this point I sent the same pic again renamed "fullnudebody" then I waited, but this time, there was quite a long time without a response. I thought I might have lost this one, but after an hour, i thought it prudent for myself to send another message to this poor boy lol, I mean fun is fun right.

Me: haven't heard back from you in a while, whatchu up to?
G: if you're not going to tell me who you are i don't really wanna talk to you anymore
Me: i would tell you, but the you probably wouldn't wanna see my fullnudebody pic lol
G: why would that be?
Me: because, my name is Sendam i'm a dude and we don't even know each other
G:WTF!
Me: kinda just a random fluke that this all happened...

I explained to him that I was just some random person that texted people around the continent, then explained to him that the picture I kept sending was the same picture and that it was the picture you see above and why I sent that picture. I told him that I never intended to pull his leg at all, and that when I started to do so, it was only because of circumstance due to his inability to retrieve pics from me. I got him to understand that I couldn't not mess around with someone that didn't know what was going on lol, and that this had never happened before on my mission to textual exploration, but that ever occurrence along this journey was data that could one day help me understand people a little more. Eventually he told me that he understood and wasn't upset, he actually said he was glad I was who I was, because he was married and the idea of someone he knew randomly sending him nude pics whenever or where ever freaked him out a little. I told him that I completely understood that. We said our good byes, and I was on my way to the next textual relation.

I really don't know if I gained anything from doing what I did to Graham, but I couldn't really help myself. The inner prankster will sometimes rear its ugly head lol, and I hope at least no one gets really upset when I do it again. But anger through text would be interesting to experience through the safety of anonymity and non-proximity. But this time, the nice guy that is graham understood the battle against boredom that is this, my mission to cut up the work day.

Until next time, here's hoping someday when you get a text asking "hows your day going"...I hope it will have been a good one.
