wrong number

Every wrong number text is an opportunity waiting to be seized. These wrong number texts absolutely inspired hilarious results. Beautiful work by whoever it was that came back with that photoshopped Nicholas Cage pic. 

Back in the good old days, you could get a random text about a newborn baby and just decide to go support the mom and laugh over the wholesome randomness of it all. Wrong number text exchanges have the tendency to get weird and hilarious, and sometimes an encounter with a total stranger just has some magic in it.

Even in this day and age people still manage to get all mixed up and confused, and text/call the wrong number. From there, it's up to the recipient to have as much fun with it as possible. These people certainly did. 

Someone on AskReddit got a fun thread going about people's most ridiculous "wrong number" moments. Nothing quite like getting a call or text from some number you've never seen before, and from there, all kinds of silly nonsense can occur. Sometimes people get devious and lead those wrong numbers along too. The temptation is real to do such a thing. 

This dude unknowingly got a first class pass aboard the troll train. Yep, this is a good old-fashioned case of a wrong number getting tricked and toyed with. It sounds like the thirsty wrong number was giving off all kinds of red flags from the start. Seems like it's for the best that they weren't able to contact "Lynn."

There's nothing quite like a good trolling, like this daughter who relentlessly trolled her mom to oblivion. In this case a wrong number texter using some cryptic language ended up getting "The Goat." We're glad people can still have this much fun with dumb crap like this. The stupider the better.

These guys thought they were reaching out to a number that apparently fulfills particularly dirty requests, but ended up learning that they were talking to a very surprised cars salesman. 

Definitely still a better love story than Twilight. 

This collection of cringe-packed conversations was inspired by Jimmy Fallon asking Twitter what their most awkward texts were. The results are filled with regret and fails and even innocent laughs. 

When a random scientologist reaches out to you, with a wrong number, it is your duty to take advantage of that with some kind of devious trolling. In this case, the silly photoshop trolling gives way to a rather ridiculous, ALL CAPS, meeting invitation. Definitely surprised over that outcome. 

When a wrong number texted this guy, and proceeded to swarm him with some thirsty interest, he met the advances like a cautious pro. It sounds like he's out there dodging all the bullets. And in this case, he passed the "text" with flying colors. Hell, by passing this one, he might've avoided another one's risky results. 

One woman's inconvenience is another troll's hilarious afternoon project. Little did Jon know, Lynn was long gone and out of his life forever. But that didn't mean no joy could be squeezed out of Jon's effort. Anyone who's willing to shave half their leg for a goof is good in our book. Wrong numbers are one of the finest common errors of our modern era.

Most wrong numbers end in a very awkward "sorry" or a "you're not my son!" But sometimes, the stars line up just right and some stranger magic happens. Good thing these people didn't pay attention to their dialing, because without their mistake we wouldn't have these wonderful gems right here.

If you're going to navigate the ins and outs of a group text from a wrong number, THIS is the way to do it. 

Wrong numbers, BEST responses! 

A wrong numbered phone call is a true golden opportunity for some clever devils. Consider using any of these the next time you encounter an unknown (wrong) number out in the wild!
