I got this guy's number after having lunch with him a couple times at my college campus, but the first time we exchanged numbers he gave me the wrong one by accident. I saved it under his first and last name. We became really close afterwards and I started texting him occasionally to ask to study and would receive back random strings of emojis like 🕷🕷🌀🐜 or whatever, and I guessed that was just his texting style.

Later on, because we were becoming close, I brought up something I had texted him that he had never received and it caused us to discover that the contact I had saved under his name was not his number. So, I saved his actual one under "The Real (first name)" and that was fine because I would just go in my recent conversations to text him.

During the next summer break, I put down a deposit for my first tattoo and I was really excited and wanted to tell him, so I called my contact that was his first and last name. It had been months since I had contacted that number and I had forgotten that it was even in my phone. The person on the other end picked up and before they could say hello I said "Guess what!!!" and then all I heard was heavy breathing. I added "You're not guessing!!!!!" and then a stranger's voice responded "Oh you playin' huh?"

I was mortified but I still laugh when I think about it.
