truly random

[rivendellrose]

I was digging in my wallet a bit ago for something to write a confirmation number on the back of, and I pulled out one of those stamp-cards for a pizza place we all went to for the last SCA meeting. I turn it over... and it's got some guy's name and phone number on it.

How the hell did this happen?

1) Waitress or waiter flirted with a guy, got his name and number, and then the card got mixed in with others and s/he forgot.

2) Guy was flirting with waitress and left her his name and number, hoping she'd call, but she didn't like him and put it back in the pile.

3) Someone was there for a business meeting, wrote their name and number, and it got lost somehow.

4) Our rather cute waiter was clearly trying to give me a sign, and I've missed it for the past two weeks.

Somehow, I think any of the first three are the answer. But I'm telling you, if this were an email address I'd already have sent something. ~.^ As it is... it's very weird to call up a random guy whose number I find, even if I try the "I don't know why I have your number but I thought it might be important" type line.

Comments? Advice? Heckling?

Comments

Advice: Ignore and avoid any potential humilation of "What? Who?" Type conversations. If you're really curious though, go back to said pizza place during the same shift and see if you can catch the eye of the same waiter. First, see if he's wearing a nametag and if his name is the same. Second, make some sort of eye contact to see if he remembers you. Go from there.

Though if it were me, I'd just stick with the 'ignore' option.

My default answer would be 'ignore,' as well, but this just seemed too strange and random to pass without comment. I'll probably feel insane, but I might call it just for the hell of it.

*throws tomatoes, but misses!* You suck!

Sorry, you said heckling. Your own damn fault as far as I'm concerned. XP

Aw... call it. What'd'ya have to lose anyway? *pokes you a lot*

Just go ahead and call. There was one time where someone appeared on my buddy list for AIM, and neither of us could figure out how the hell she had gotten there (or how I had gotten onto hers). People are usually really understanding about these things so long asw they don't think that you are trying to sell them anything.

SCA?

The Society for Creative Anachronism - roughly, an international historical recreation society based on the idea of 'recreating' the historical middle ages. Their website is at www.sca.org and can explain things much better than I ever could.

Oh no, I know what it is, I just didn't know you were in it. I'm not, personally, but I know people who are.
