Ignore at will.Hmmm, don't know if this belongs to the category, but it sure is interesting and I though you guys might like to hear a weird one.This is actually still in progress and very much concerns something showing up where you don't want it.5 days ago ... wait, you guys so aren't going to believe me, but it is actually true ... anyways: 5 days ago my mobile rings and I dutifully pick it up. This is the extent of the conversation (I am BTM, the other guy is ?)BTM: Hallo?: Hey, man, it's Derek!BTM: ... [pause] ... Hallo??: Hey, it's *Derek*. How's it going?BTM: ... Are you sure you got the right number??: Yeah, man ... this is Bjorn, right? [which it indeed was]BTM: Yeah, who's this??: It's Derek, man! I haven't heard from you in ages?BTM: Right, are you absolutely positive you have got the right number??: ... You're Bjorn, right? Just been to Canada and then Denmark.[ok, this guy is looking for me, this could not be a coincidence. I had just been those two places. I am so confused, I lack words]BTM: Right, this is me. Who's this??: It's Derek!BTM: And I should know who you are??: Yeah, I should bloody well hope so? How are you?BTM: Hmmm ... listen, I don't know who you are. Have I met you??: Yeah, we met before the summer? I haven't heard from you in ages.BTM: Ok ... and where did we meet each other??: At ... ahhh ... what was it called ... ahhrr ... that bar in Dundee.[I am in Dundee, Scotland]BTM: And when was this??: .... you don't remember me?BTM: Dude, I have no f******* idea what so ever. ?: You were with these two girls, your girlfriend and the other, black haired one.BTM: Yeah, that sounds right. You don't remember the bar name??: Ahhrr ... it was .... No, I can't remember.[pause]BTM: Ok, tell me, how did we meet, man ... 'cause I don't remember you at all.?: You were standing at the bar, talking with ... what's his name ... Pete? ... and I thought you were talking to me, so I turned around and we started talking and you gave me your phonenumber.BTM: And was I really drunk??: No ... not really ... well, I was a bit drunk, so I couldn't really tell, but you didn't seem overly drunk to me.BTM: And I gave you my phonenumber?[now, this is super strange. I have never, ever given my phonenumber to anyone, not even girls. Never.]?: Yeah, man!BTM: OK, OK. And you are calling me... why??: Well, I just wanted to hear how things were going, you know? Are you still together with your girlfriend.BTM: No, actually we broke up. I am with a girl from Canada now.?: Reeeaally? And is she better?[WTF kind of question is that? At this point I am positive this is someone calling for my ex-girlfriend, but I mean, come on! I am bloody 25 years old, not in kindergarten, so this just seems unreal. I engage my diplomatic nerve]BTM: Well, you know, all relationships are different, I don't want to rate them against each other.?: Right. So we should meet up.BTM: Yeah, for sure. Listen, for some reason your number didn't show up on my mobile ...[which is super strange, kind of adding to my suspicion]... so text me your number and I'll give you a shout when we go out next weekend.[this weekend].?: Yeah, I will do.[insert long winded goodbye here]Now, I never, ever, ever drink myself into oblivion. Have never had a night where I couldn't remember what I was doing. Have asked Pete (the guy that Derek claimed I was with) about this, and he can't remember anything about this either.He still hasn't sent his phonenumber to my mobile yet, so I am kind of left in dark.If that isn't straight out of Seinfeld I don't know what is. I can just imagine George organizing a stakeout.What gives?RegardsBjorn</blockquote>
