Gone were the days when I used to be a huge texter. I didn’t have anything to do at that time as I was home on vacation-that was a few years ago. I could wake up and text all day non-stop. My mom would always complain about me being on my phone and I’d always tell her I was having a ‘class’ cos that’s the only way to get her off my back.
Personally, I’m not really a phone call person. I prefer to text or be texted in any situation as compared to being called. You can only call when if it’s an emergency and that is the only valid reason you can have for calling me if you’re not my mom, dad or sibling. Looking forward to this year, I would say the rate at which I text has depreciated drastically. I barely even have time for myself not to talk of texting others. Moreover, I hate to start something I can’t finish and this explains why I don’t like texting people since I don’t want to leave people hanging as I wouldn’t be happy if same was done to me.
Talking of blunders, I’ve had a whole lot. There have been times I mistakenly texted people i didn’t intend to and had to delete it right after the message was sent. But, most of these text blunders happened a long time ago as that was the time I had so many texts coming in from friends and family.
However, recently, I’ve found myself butt-dialing people on random occasions. Among the lot, there are two instances that caught me off guard and put me in quite a weird situation. With the first instance, I had a long day at work and decided to go to bed early. Before I went to bed,I was texting a friend but I found myself dozing up. Just before I dropped the phone, I had a call from my mom and we spoke for a few minutes before getting off the phone. I don’t know what happened but I just happened to sleep off with my phone in hand.
What I didn’t know was that this phone had a different agenda. It dialed one of my bosses contact and before I could realize the call had gone through. I quickly hanged up before she could answer cos it was past 10pm. The next minute, my boss was calling me back so I just had to answer and tell her it was a mistake. The next morning at work was a bit weird I must say.
Nothing would prepare you for this one. Just a few days ago, I was speaking with a close friend and I butt-dialed my dad and he was on the call for quite a good number of minutes. Only God knows what he heard but trust me, those stuff were not for his ears. Up till today, he hasn’t said anything so I’d like to assume he didn’t hear anything, or maybe he did. Well, I guess we’ll never know cos I’m not going to ask.😂
After all these occurrences, I’ve learnt my lessons to make sure to keep my phone in the right places so as to not get myself in trouble or uncomfortable situations. Better safe than sorry.
I hope you enjoyed reading this, thank you for your time.
