I'm posting this one mostly because I'm wondering if he's tried it with anyone else.
I've had a texter for a few days. I deleted the first few where he asked if this was Maria and if she was still working. I haven't responded to any of them since I figured if he was genuinely looking for Maria it wouldn't take him long to realise that she's not here. Since then it's been:
Are you still working?
Maria - are you still working? Mark
Maria - can you give me the number of the place you are working so I can contact someone else if you're not around. M
-Then he called me, I picked up, and he hung up as soon as I said hello-
Dialled by accident - sorry! Are you working?!
Let me know & I'll come down - I've seen you before so not sure what's up?
Hello?!
Maria, are you working this avo?
Now, it's not entirely implausible that Maria hates talking on the phone, or that he's deaf/unable to speak, but given that he started off asking if he had the right person, and the evidence he's had since, and that I've had this number for over six years, I think it's unlikely he's such a dummy that he thinks he's texting someone he knows. I reckon it's a variation on "a friend gave me your number", and I'm meant to be trying to tempt him away from Maria with my sexy textiness. So, anyone else had this one?
