10. Still There

October 28, 2009 11:34AM

Hi babe i'll be at staples

A bit boring, but she's still chatting after 4 days of silence!

Friday, October 23, 2009

9. Is it over? He's got a name!

Well, she obviously doesn't read the advice column in the National Post. Bummer. If she's going to keep bugging me, I hope things get interesting.

Turns out I didn't have to wait long!


October 19, 2009 10:03pm

Have a good nite so whatever

Whatever? She sounds pissed.


October 20, 2009 3:41am

Sorry it was sam

Sam? Her cat? Calling me at 3am? It better have been her cat. At least my phone didn't ring.


October 20, 2009 9:25am

Have a good day. That tlk we had the other nite was obviously a waste of time and meant nothing u could have at least been

More honest instead

Dont ever prejudge me im at least upfront about my male friends that was so quick after ur class huh

Are we having mature conversations about our relationships? Sounds like they may be one-sided.


October 20, 2009 2:35pm

Hey whats the problem y u not texting back

Uh oh. Well it has been 5 hours since her last text. She's still cutting him too much slack. If it were me, I'd rip a strip off him!


October 20, 2009 8:25pm

R u going 2 talk 2 me oq what

Y u get mad over stupid things im not the one going off but if u would rather b with other then say so cause i dont deserve this things ha

Have been so good with us and i have been so happy so y r u fucking it up?

That's better.


October 20, 2009 8:46pm

I guess no movies 2nite huh?

20 minutes, and she's over it.


October 21, 2009 7:39pm

I thought we have a good thing going so y mess it up what happened the other nite ? R u hurting me or am i worried 4 nothing

Im hme thurs nite if u can pls come c me i miss u so much

What did you do wrong?? You let him drive you insane! Dump the jerk! Pick up the phone and give him hell for not returning your text messages. Just make sure you call HIS number.


October 21, 2009 8:14pm

I love you so much and this is really cutting deep pls stop hurting me like this i cant handle this and u not talking 2 me i dont even know y

I know why.


October 22, 2009 4:48pm

Havent heard from u yet. I want 2 strighten things out i think my messages explain everything. I need us 2 b ok theres so much im dealing w

With and u r the only good thing in my life

My hydro is off until tomorrow morn when the bill gets paid

If she won't dump him, he should definitely be dumping her! How can she pay him gas money to come and see her if she can't even pay her hydro and phone bills.


October 22, 2009 10:58pm

I wish u would talk 2 me i miss u so much . Do u care about us still? This is reallyhurting me u said u would message me but u didnt

I wouldn't text her either if she sent me notes like this!


October 23, 2009 12:57am

Well i guess u really hate me not 2 text me back i love u no matter what ur thinkin

Well i guess u really hate me not 2 text me back i love u no matter what ur thinkin

Well i guess u really hate me not 2 text me back i love u no matter what ur thinkin

Well i guess u really hate me not 2 text me back i love u no matter what ur thinkin

Ouch! 5 love-sick messages in a row. Hope she doesn't expect a response, 'cause this is bad!


October 23, 2009 11:33am

Did u message me on hotmail cause i wasnt hme my hydro is being restored what i said couldnthave been that bad 4 u 2 ignore me this long wev

Come 2 far 2 let something stupid come between us

I dont want us 2 breakup over this come on babe u can feel me on this text me pls i love u and i kno u do 2 can we makeup now

The downward spiral tightens. Is there no way out? Will I finally be spared the remaining tragic details?


That brings us up to date. Going forward, I'll add posts as I receive them.

If anyone knows these guys, please tell them to update their directory!!

8. Advice from the National Post!

So when the relationship was on the rocks, I figured that the text messages would stop, so I didn't do anything about them. Then - worst of luck - they patched things up. Now if I send a text, they'll see that I've been eavesdropping for almost 3 months. Worst of all, they will know my mobile number, and could get even by sending more texts or - even worse - phone calls.

I needed some advice.

I turned to Steve Murray, columnist for the National Post, who runs a (bad) advice column every Thursday.

http://network.nationalpost.com/np/blogs/theampersand/archive/2009/10/16/extremely-bad-advice-recon-text-ualizing-a-relationship.aspx

Steve had some great advice, but best of all, I figured that my texter or her intended would recognize themselves.

Sure enough, no more texts - at least for 2 days.


October 18, 2009 5:42pm

Hey what up

She's back. Oh crap.

7. Photo Evidence

October 5, 2009 6:25pm



We've learned how to text a photo! But we weren't sure, so we sent the same photo 3 hours later.


October 9, 2009 10:37am

Hey im back at chapters 2day

Has she got a job? Off for stress leave? Or just shopping?

6. Back Together

September 19, 2009 8:49am

Hey babe after reading ur text this morning that u wrote thurs i realize i shouldnt have douted u so im sorry hope u forgive me

Now why can't she just reply to his texts instead of sending them to me? Are we a bit insecure? Sounds like she's making all the concessions in this relationship.


September 19, 2009 2:16pm

Stop already

Congratulations uv managed 2 pick anotherfight with me

Big change from this morning's post!


September 20, 2009 4:27pm

Hey babe have a good time 2day ok ttyl kiss

We've made up!


September 23, 2009 3:51pm

Hey hun i met the dj from wave 94.7 got him 2 buy a tshirt 2nite at 7 hes saying hi 2 me on the air lol

Too bad it's a crappy station. Smooth jazz is bad jazz. I'm sure she's into hip hop.


September 28, 2009 11:51am

Hey how r u babe

Glad we're still friends.


October 1, 2009 12:23am

October 3, 2009 3:48pm

Nice.


October 3, 2009 7:44pm

Making me curious. Are they together in the car?


October 3, 2009 9:56pm

Hey babe i miss u hows ur nite so far

Guess they aren't together.


October 3, 2009 11:09pm

Is that a question?


October 4, 2009 11:12am

October 4, 2009 3:26pm

Hey babe let me kno when ur coming 2 c me i have the stuff u want even if u cant 2day then we can do whatever

Text bk so i kno when 2 come hme

Great! When he doesn't text back, she'll know he's not getting these.


October 4, 2009 8:09pm

Do u need gas money babe

Sound like she's contributing way too much to this relationship! Glad everything's working out nicely for them. She probably figures that he's too busy to respond to every message, but otherwise is okay.

5. On the Rocks?

September 8, 2009 7:06pm

What u going 2 b over

Hope this misdirected text doesn't cause a problem!


September 8, 2009 7:52pm

R u on ur bike or not

Cool! The BF has a motorcycle.


September 12, 2009 8:35am

Guess i have 2 be the better 1 and say have a nice day without the childish silent treatment so have a good day

Silent treatment? Didn't he see her the other day? Hope I didn't mess up a rendezvous.


September 18, 2009 8:45am

Hey my phones bk up

Y didnt u wait 4 me u were there early i was hm on time

No phone for 6 days? That would be tough. Is he avoiding her?


September 18, 2009 2:00pm

So anyways have a great day

Trying to make peace?


September 18, 2009 7:06pm

Y the fuck did u stop by last nite when u cant text me back u r the one that hurt me fucken own up 2 it i love u u stupid jerk

Uh Oh. Communication break-down. She sounds a bit mixed up. I am into this too deep to let her know about the wrong number now!


September 18, 2009 8:32pm

U kno what im sick of u treating me like garbage and all i do is treat u like gold so fuck this drop off the gp and pick up ur bleach

A fucken waste of a year never again

Ah! More about the GPS. Still not sure what the deal is with that. She would definitely kill me if she knew I'd been getting these texts for the last 7 weeks!

Looks like this relationship is over. Finally, she'll delete me from her mobile phone directory, and we can all move on.

4. Rock my World!

August 22, 2009 5:51pm

Hey

Back after a couple of days off.


August 22, 2009 6:31pm

Im going 2 the place revival 2nite great party

Sounds cool!


August 29, 2009 6:48pm

Hey if u can drop ur price 2 half on ur gp buddy will buy it

I wouldn't want her as MY agent. Guess her BF is trying to sell his GPS. Wonder how desperate he is?


August 31, 2009 3:31pm

Hope u had a good weekend im going 2 pic up the gps if u dont want it now is the time

Hold on now. Is she mixing me up with a third person?? I thought the BF was SELLING a GPS. Now it looks like he's buying it.


September 2, 2009 7:40pm

Hey how r u 2day

She sounds bored.


September 8, 2009 9:22am

Hey babe have a good day 2day i had such a good time with u this weekend u really rocked my world!

Yikes! After a week, they're at it hot and heavy. Nice to see some punctuation!

3. Things get interesting

So far, I've detected a bit of frustration due to lack of responses. I'm also seeing a somewhat possessive side to my 905 buddy.


August 13, 2009 11:12am

Finally got my phone up owed more money on it so ricks money went 2 this phone in george town

Georgetown? A clue to where she lives? Sounds like she's broke. Still don't quite understand what she's trying to say.


August 13, 2009 12:59pm

Have an awesome day hunny xoxo

That's nice. He won't miss this text.


August 14, 2009 1:08pm

I told adam this morning so did u get ur phone r not

Where is that shit hes not picking up the phone

A couple more messages that won't be missed. Wonder how she thinks she's texting him if he doesn't have his phone? Who's the shit? Not the BF I hope!?


August 20, 2009 8:59am

Have a great day hun kiss kiss

Let's get physical! First message in a week.


August 20, 2009 9:17am

Last nite my pendulum protected u and a female came around u named beth or bethanie around 12;30

Ah! The real reason she's texting. Definitely possessive! And a little strange.

2. The early (boring) posts

July 29, 2009

What u been up 2 i havent heard from u allday

Plain and simple. I'm not a fan of her grammer, but I don't expect to hear from her again.


August 9, 2009 4:07am

Hey havent heard from u hows ur night

Hey! After a week and a half, I'd almost forgotten about this. Should I respond? Naw. Maybe she'll tell me how her night is going! Wow; it's late.


August 9, 2009 3:31pm

I called her Im at ap

Hmmm. What's "ap"? Who's "her"?


August 10, 2009 1:12pm

Hey dont 4 get 2 get ur cheque 2day

More details please! Hope he didn't forget.


August 9, 2009 5:10pm

Hey where u been all day i havent heard from u

Hope I didn't cause a mis-communication.


August 9, 2009 9:43pm

Funny how every monday nite ur never hme huh dont bother u can stop going between me and whoever else ur seeing

Okay. This is getting good! No way I'm letting her know what's going on. I want to see how this plays out.

1. How can someone text to the wrong number for so long?

My voyeuristic connection with my 905 buddy started in July this year. At first I was mildly curious, but the texts got progressively more and more interesting, and suddenly I was an interloper on a roller-coaster relationship.

If things were boring, I likely would have texted her back to save the interruptions, but they weren't. And if I notified her now, she may come looking for me with harmful intent!

I have taken steps (including this blog) to let her discover her mistake, but so far I've had no luck. The messages keep coming, and getting more and more personal.

She's been mentioned in one of Canada's national newspapers (link below). I have her photo, and her boyfriend is named Diesel. Her mobile phone exchange is based in Brampton Ontario.

I will keep posting and annotating her text messages as I receive them.
