What Confusion?

Frequent readers of this blog know of my verbal jousting with the wrong number scammers: they introduce themselves, apologize for getting me by accident, and then pursue a closer friendship on WhatsApp. I enjoy messing with them through improv and sometimes they can’t handle it.

Oh, no, looks like I got the wrong number for a change! *wink* Interestingly, that one stopped there on the mention of a scam.

And then there are some days I don’t feel like playing that game, and try a different tactic.

“She” actually did message me on WhatsApp. It really does remind me of bad community theatre actors who learned their lines and they know what order they come in, but when someone skips a line or forgets theirs, they just keep following their memorized script even if it doesn’t make sense with what is happening on stage.

Now if the curtain (or an axe blade) would just fall on these people.
