I got a new phone; lost all my numbers.

This seems to be the stupid shit that’s going around lately when someone doesn’t remember who you are when you call or text them.

I have heard this exact statement: “sorry, I just got a new phone and lost all my numbers.” from about 14 people over the past few months when I get bored enough to start texting random people.

To put my theory to the test, I actually made up some phone numbers to text and got the same response when I wouldn’t reveal who I was to the person.

It’s like their get out of jail free card. No, asshole, it’s not your get out of jail free card. I’m going to go ahead and assume that not many people know more than 50 people that they talk to on a daily basis enough to put them in their phonebook, thus making your statement very rude, or just plain bullshit. I’m going with answer B on that one.

One would assume that unless you’re a drunk party-goer, who doesn’t take care of your phone well enough to not have it drown in someone’s pool or fall into a toilet that the normal way for you to get a new phone is to just go buy a fucking new one and transfer your phonebook to it! Oh shit nevermind I guess 93.6% (real statistic) of the population either gets their phone stolen by someone at a concert or it “falls into a pool” so bye bye phonebook. But then that makes me wonder if that happens so easily to people, why the fuck don’t you have your phonebook written/saved somewhere to incase of your misfortunate accident, you can easily get it back!

I think these losers actually read a “how to try and manipulate people into believing your obvious bullshit” book. Or maybe they read this shit in a magazine article. “When in doubt, say that you got a new phone and lost your numbers.”

I want to ask these people if they honestly think that people believe that line of crap.
