My latest wrong number scammer put up a valiant attempt at sticking to the script, but ultimately failed in the key principle of improv: “Yes, and…” You see, in improv, you always take what the other person gives you and then build on that. You don’t go off on tangents, and you don’t contradict theContinue reading “Stick to the Script!”

Scammy Oysters
From Alice in Wonderland, in “The Walrus and the Carpenter” poem regarding the oysters: “And thick and fast they came at last, and more and more and more!” This describes my current week with the wrong number scammers, but one had a notable difference. Instead of following the playbook as usual, they went rogue andContinue reading “Scammy Oysters”
Typooooo!
I feel compelled to document errors on ads for gaming apps. Of course, I’m torn—it’s like wanting to tell a bot or scammer what they did wrong to point out their mistakes but at the same time not wanting them to fix things which would make it harder for us to figure out what’s aContinue reading “Typooooo!”
Another Improv Attempt
Those wrong numbers just keep coming! I decided to be Anna and even have AI creat a photo of “me.” They gave up after that.
More Mobile Game Ad BS
I continue to rail against the ads that appear when I play certain games. These continue to astound me in their ridiculousness, and I would think that, in most businesses, they would have no success or people would be fired. But maybe no one really cares anymore. The first ad I want to mention appearedContinue reading “More Mobile Game Ad BS”
Comme Ci Comme Ca
My last blog post railed against universities cracking down on protestors; I’m following that up by attacking free speech in the form of these ridiculous spam texts I keep getting. This person didn’t even try to address me pretending to be the person in Miami there were supposedly contacting. He/She just went right for theContinue reading “Comme Ci Comme Ca”
Improv Now? No….
Last week was a banner week for the surprise texters. Most notable were the two who wanted me to think it was a wrong number, and one who found me on a dating site I had never heard of before. She at least kept the conversation going, but the one I include below wasn’t upContinue reading “Improv Now? No….”
I Know You! Or Do You…?
Yesterday I encountered a variation of the scam text. Usually they purport to have contacted me by a wrong number, but this one knew who I was. It’s how she said she knew me that was the problem. I had to Google to find out that there is indeed a dating site called Tagged. ToContinue reading “I Know You! Or Do You…?”
Join the Illuminati? Me?!
I might be impressed about getting an invitation to join the Illuminati—except this is at least the third time I’ve gotten such a message on Facebook. But when I got the friend request from a prestigious name such as William K Rothschild, looking like a dapper Liebowski, how could I resist? Am I wrong inContinue reading “Join the Illuminati? Me?!”
Promises, Promises
Pardon me if I continue to rail against the false promises of large sums of money from mobile game apps. I begin with this image: They give you $3000 just to sign up? That sounds great! Wait…what’s the small font/fine print at the bottom? I wonder if that’s a disclaimer? Or just contradicts the aboveContinue reading “Promises, Promises”
