And people wonder why I donât ever answer numbers I donât recognizeâŚ
I sometimes wonder if there are a lot of female dogs named âKarmaâ (or indeed âCarmaâ, as in this case)
I have a relative named Carma, but sheâs not a dog.
No, sheâs right. Carma IS a bitch.
I really wonder what all this texting is doing to peopleâs brains.
My Dogma.was run over by Carma.
I was wondering if he/she wasnât talking about karma, but some other woman named âCARMANâ, since the text was âCARMA N IS THE REAL BITCHâ-- with so much poor spelling and âgrammerâ there is a lot of room for interpretation. I probably would have started defending âmy good friend Carmanâ, a la âWhy bring Carman into this, she is not a bitch, she happens to be a Coptic nun and and she has never even met Dawn!â
Yeah the âstroke girlâ phrase really creeped me out.
I just hope the person doing all that texting wasnât driving at the same time. Then again it might explain a few things.
Even with the information that was scrubbed out, it seems like it would still be relatively easy for a bored and empathy-challenged group of internet trolls to identify and harass this person, who, while comically presented, seems to have actually had to deal with some shit. Why not continuing scrubbing, a-la [city name, state name] and b______ and T________ ? Maybe Bobbie and Travis are psychopaths, and the caller really has had to deal with a mind-bending web of lies, or vice-versa. The whole thing comes off more mean spirited than funny.
I got a gmail account early and chose my first name, a dot, then my last name for my address. Iâve learned a lot about all the other people with my name. Glad this doesnât happen with texts.
Hmmm. Are we related? My mother and my cousin are both named Carma, and theyâre the only two Iâve ever heard of with that spelling.
I agree. I thought the timing of the âjokeâ was not so funny. The texter seemed to be dealing with a friend or relative (Dawn) who not only had had a stroke, but appeared to have a lot of drama going on around them complicating the situation. Texter seemed to also be part of the drama, IMHO, but I didnât think it was kind to make fun of her.
Hereâs an example of how to do it right:
I dunno, I think she got the right number and this âthebearpokerâ is lying! That makes the most sense!
It bothered me too because I thought âstroke girlâ was a back-formation from âstroke magazine.â
My first reaction is to wonder if the person who initiated the text exchange might be suffering from some mental illness (bipolar)? Perhaps not entirely cool to push her buttons.
People apply this same steadfast logic (No way Iâm wrong ! Canât fool me!) to voting. Le sigh.
through a similar âguess the gmail address from first and lastâ I was looped into a group email a few weeks ago letting me know that since my daughter was no longer in the green fleet, I was now eligible to be their skipper, and that we should all meet at the yacht club. I emailed back and thanked them but noted that the commute from New York to New Zealand might take a toll. I also slipped in that my wife happened to be a sailing instructor in New York. I ended with an apology for getting to the gmail address first. They thanked me for letting them know, gave me the name of the yacht club and said I was welcome to join anytime, and theyâd put my wife on the roster 
I used to get misdials for a local pizza place. Usually late on a work night.
A couple times when someone insisted that they had the right number, I took their order for delivery and let further calls go to the machine for the rest of the night.
