I have a friend who has had a running text joke going with an unsuspecting stranger for a FEW YEARS now.
He got a random text one day about some crazy story from a complete stranger who obviously thought they were texting a friend or a family member…
So, he decided to roll with it!
And, wouldn’t you know it, a few years later this person is still texting him with crazy stories and he acts like he’s in on the whole thing. And this person has no idea.
I have to tip my hat to my friend for putting in the time and effort with this elaborate ruse, because I get screenshots of all the interactions and sometimes, it’s the only thing that makes me laugh on a given day.
So, in the spirit of my friend’s great work, here are some funny wrong number texts that we think you’ll enjoy.
Let’s go!
1. Just trying to help out.
Cheers and good luck.
2. Hey baby…
Nothing good ever comes after that, by the way.

4. I wonder what’s really going on here…
I guess we’ll never know.

Has anything like this happened to you?
It’s happened to me and all I can say is that things can get weird pretty quickly.
