this was strange ... WWYD?

So I'm sitting here trying to figure out if I really am a witch. I get an email from someone who's on a bulletin board I frequent entitled "info needed" that says the following; "Hi it's me again. Well I got a new cell phone and lost all my numbers. could u be so kind to send me your contact phone info please." I see it's addressed to several people, and the person did sign their name, but gee, I don't think I've ever conversed with them outside the board, and I sure as heck know this person doesn't even know my NAME let alone my personal info. So I reply, "What info did you need, my phone number????" And get, "yes" Which I still think is odd, so I write, "Why? [I totally don't mean to be rude, but did you have it before?]" And get, "actually i dont want it and if u were not tryin to be rude u would have not said it. it just happens that ur name was in my email list but it will be removed. dont email me again!" SO I'm laughing out loud but I try to clarify, "Why do you think I would just give my phone number out randomly to someone I know from a bulletin board? I don't think it's rude, I think it's prudent. Sorry that you were offended but no skin off my nose. " And get this in return, "@UCK OFF ^&TCH!!!! IT'S NOT LIKE I WANT EVERYONE'S NUMBER AND U ARE RIGHT BUT IT WAS A MISTAKE. SO @UCK OFF AND LEAVE ME THE @UCK ALONE" And this, "HOW ABOUT I PUT MY FOOT UP YOUR A$$ ^%TCH!!!" Now I'm really falling off the chair laughing, what on earth did *I* do?? So I told the person to call me and we'd set up a time for that to happen - perhaps I do deserve it. Is it me, what should I have done? BTW I *did* stop emailing them, but I am still kinda laughing about it;) xosm

You are so not a witch. I have emailed you a few times and you have been nothing but sweet. That person seems to have a chip on her shoulder.....glad I wasn't on her email list. Life is too short to spend my time with people like that. Smile Ms Grouchetta you are wonderful Corinna

Thank you, that's sweet. But I probably do deserve it for some other witchy moment in life [you know what goes around comes around]. I'm just super puzzled about this one, hey, Corinna, can I have your phone number xosm

sure sweetie it 438-lost extra big hugs Corinna

LOL thanks for more laughs today, hun. Ya know, that's something else I've found since surgery, I AM HAPPY [verry happpy ... isn't there a song?]. Really, so much less bothers me than it used to and I can laugh AT MYSELF a whole lot more. I enjoy my life and even appreciate my grouch and witchy moments [ask my husband, the nom-de-plume is appropriate I certainly don't credit WLS with everything, I am working hard, I have been in therapy since right before surgery and I am learning A LOT about myself. BUT, yeah, having my health back goes a long way to being able to enjoy life, for sure. I better make the bed and get dressed, it's after lunchtime and I'm LAZZZZZY.

Don't fret, you did the right thing. I think it's funny that they got that upset over a simple question. So feel free to keep laughing about it. I would have done the same thing.

LOL, you should have gave them the phone nuber to an Anger Management class. Or to Miss Manners hot line. Not rude at all, I don't give my nuber to anyone I hardly know What a fruit loop

Sounds like a psycho to me. I would have laughed too. I had someone ask me for my personal info and i always blow them off. I don't know you and you don't know me. I work for a large company that many other WLS people for and I hate it when they say Meet me for Lunch on a public board. I'd like to remain Anon so I never answer them back. You never know whose lurking. You could email her a picture of you with your middle finger up. Bad, sorry for being so real, that's the NY'er in me. SOunds like you handled it well, it's funny you asking her when to set up the time. You can forward the emails to the admin espeically since she was swearing like a sailor. STay Real, JT

((((((Grouchetta Grinch))))))) You're a very funny lady.... See, if they were ed-ju-ma-kay-ted they'd find a classier way of telling you off.... Like instead of telling you you've got your head up your butt they'd say you were cephlo-caudal, and when there was defication of the rotissary air device, you'd know the poo ha**** the fan. Such highly intellegent individuals, as these, may even perhaps be worthy of your further consideration, should you choose to study the proboscus expelling habits of the portable metal housing unit dwellers, as they sample their regional version of fermented corn. I am sure, however, that your endeavors preclude such efforts, and that your time would be better spent calling me. 'Cause I love you, you silly goose!!!! Gosh

And the laughter continues ... Gosh, when you give me your number so I can call you, can you give me your address, too, really, I just wanna give you a hug. xosm
