I just got a new cell phone (it is on my facebook profile if don’t have it already and you know me), so I have been dealing with wrong numbers. I can ignore those and let my voicemail deal with them, but what sucks are wrong number texts. I think texting is utterly stupid, but it is definitely right sometimes, but most of the time I don’t understand why someone has to use what has to be the most expensive form of communication (in terms of data size/price) in existence today when e-mail would be more appropriate and cheaper. Anyway, I can live with texts from people I know, but what I hate is when it is from someone with the wrong number. I have been getting a stream of incoherent texts recently, which I feel need documenting. I will obscure no details for reasons that will become obvious:

July 7 - 773-699-6104: Alrite ppl this is k. ken etc… delete my old number n replace it wt this 1
July 12 - 773-699-6104: Watz good
July 17 - 773-699-6104: New muzik dropic soon my pg so b on the look out this weekend
July 17 - me: you have the wrong number. please stop texting me
July 17 - 773-699-6104: Nigga shut up (it’s an exact quotation; sorry if you are horribly offended)

Will I continue to receive texts out of some combination of some ill-conceived form of spit and ineptitude? I guess I will have to find out. I honestly don’t get why I should get a nasty response for a reasonable request. Anyone know of something I can do if I still get texts? I don’t have a texting plan, so I am not so fond of paying for these.
