The Official White House Snapchat Just Called Betsy De. Vos Secretary of 'Educatuon'On Monday, while reading an Easter story to dozens of children she’s about to doom to a substandard education, Secretary of Education Betsy De. Vos was featured on the official White House Snapchat under an interesting title: “Secretary of Educatuon.” The way I see it, there are three likely explanations for this error: 1. The official White House Snapchatter was uploading the photo from inside Sean Spicer’s Easter Bunny suit. Texting with those giant, fur fingers is difficult and the social media intern made an honest mistake before uploading. This is at least as plausible as Sean Spicer accepting the Anti- Defamation League’s offer of a personal lesson in Holocaust history. The official White House Snapchatter was doing the social media version of blinking out “help me” in Morse code while under duress, subliminally sending the message that De. Vos is a flagrantly unqualified pick for Secretary of Education. This is at least as plausible as five million people voting illegally against Trump in November. The official White House Snapchatter, realizing we’re on the brink of simultaneous humanitarian crises across the globe and pending nuclear warfare, was overwhelmed by the futility of all existence, and just didn’t bother correcting the typo. This is, roughly, at least as plausible as all the coal mining jobs coming back.

He sounded INCREDIBLY uncomfortable the whole time and over the course of the message it became clear she must have gotten a job at a vibrator company or Viagra’s headquarters or something like that.. It was a wonderful example of someone talking around the obvious. The one with the stranger thing, from Tortri. For months, I got calls — often multiple a night — from women who were very displeased to hear a woman answering the phone. New species are discovered frequently, but this creature is unlike anything we’ve seen before. Called the giant shipworm, it lives inside a long shell where it.

Most of them would just hang up when I told them there was no longer a Greg at this number, but a few became quite hostile, apparently convinced that I was purposefully hiding Greg from them. The best was a voicemail I received on Christmas day that went something like this: “Look, bitch, I don’t know who you think you are, but this is Greg’s house too, and if you don’t get him to call me RIGHT NOW, I’m going to call the police.”The one with the boys in blue, from ihatespam: I live in Dallas, TX. Years ago, Dallas had only one area code, 2. Eventually, they expanded and added a second area code, 9. If you forgot to dial the area code and just dialed the last 7 digits, it was random as to whether you would be connected to the 2. That was about the same time I got my first cell phone. My newly issued cell phone number used 9. Dallas Police Internal Affairs.. You can imagine the number of interesting calls I received and I would have to inform them they needed to dial the 2. The one with the good reverend, from laggy. NGroovy: For months, I would get calls at random times of the night looking to talk with a “Reverend something- or- another.” They had a problem and needed the good Reverend’s help. I kept patiently explaining that this was my number, could someone please update the number that he was giving out.. Added to your image favorites See all Don’t lose this favorite! Sign in to keep it and see it on any device. Just please make it stop. After about 9 months, I was finally able to get it to stop on my own. The next call I got in the middle of the night asking to speak to “Reverend something- or- another,” I responded with: “Didn’t you hear?”Caller: “Hear what?”“He got picked up for solicitation.”The calls stopped after that night. I’m thinking the burning grapevine must have got the number corrected on the church call list. The one with Sharna, from The. Revanchist: The other wrong number was a recurring one. Usually at 1 or 2 in the morning, one man crying and asking for Sharna to come back to him. No one ever picked up the phone after 1. Until we got a message from what sounded like a radio call- in show during the early morning, where the guy was trying to meet up/make up with Sharna, as he really, really missed her. Then, we had the best laugh ever! The one with the faux professor, from Mixeddrinks: I got a text from some person thinking I was her professor, question about a paper they are suppose to write for me.. So I responded with: “. I will answer all of your questions in class next week, now go to (name of restaurant by campus) and celebrate.”Person was super thankful and believed it. Thanked me and mentioned that she really enjoyed what she learned in class etc etc. With a bunch of words of praise. I was going to prank it more but I felt bad and text her: “You got the wrong number, sorry I can’t give you an actual A. But if you ever get your professor’s actual number, I will be glad to call her and give you a raving recommendation.”After reading this she called me, and I told her the truth, she was a bit sad. The one with the unsolicited feels, from Marc Alvarado: I got a very sad message from a woman who thought she was texting a friend after her first round of chemotherapy. She said that she was doing ok but was not looking forward to continuing the treatment and that she was really scared of dying. I offered her my condolences and prayers and encouraged her to reach her friend again. She texted back that she was sorry to have bummed me out but appreciated my concern. George!” “What?” “Can you get this? I dropped my phone in the toilet. Can you get this?”The one with the Google Voice translator, from Jackal Frost: Recently, I got a new number and received two calls from Mexico. I don’t speak Spanish, so I have no idea what they were about, but despite the country code and everything, Google Voice valiantly charged forward attempting to transcribe them to English. The results are pretty amusing: “Hey way, it’s about an idea what I started picking up one of my car, and you can help me face all day. I look up with my father. Hey satish on my way to get Ocala for me looking for hello. This is ann from work phone number. I’m a listen.”“Honest I’ve been really hope this reminder you will know that was in the f*** where. I love jingle on the me again. I’m assuming you got there is Italia. I’m trying dance.”The one with the porn scam, from Cheve: Indian guy (assuming from accent) berating me for taking his money at some porn website (I am not even joking). Apparently he paid 5 pounds on some obscure website and then found my (new) number there. I found it way too amusing to hang up, last thing spoken was “Give me my porn motherfucker!! I hate you!!”. This is all true, I swear. Also, this is not an old story, this happened late 2. The one with the conspiracy theory, from SInghwada Dheet: I got a voicemail back in 2. The pope knows, man. He knows shit’s goin’ down. Sell all your stock, just sell it man.” Click. Did you sell your shit like I told you? Manny and Mooch didn’t, and they done now - the pope screwed them.” Click. These two still drive me crazy. Maybe the pope knew of the market collapse? IF he did, what did he do to . Gets your circulation, stimulates your bits.. Woman 2: Lovely. Woman 1: Its really good for your heart because it stimulates your circulation and it makes your bits tingle. Woman 2: Maybe that’s what I need to do. Love you.”I gotta think it was the dude’s brother or something.. He called from a blocked number which went straight to my voicemail and didn’t leave a number, so I had no way to save that poor boat. The one with the little old lady looking for Rose, from Jhamin: I used to get a call at 1. Sunday from a little old lady who wanted to know if her friend Rose wanted to get lunch. Every weekend she would wake me up (I was always up late Saturday, I was in my 2. Every weekend I would tell her she had the wrong number. Every weekend she would be really embarrassed and apologize. Every weekend she would promise to get it right next time. Then the next week the call would come again. In the grand scheme of things there are worse ways to be woken up Sunday morning and she seemed like a really sweet lady, so I just sort of accepted this was a thing that was going to happen in my life. After a year or so we developed the sort of friendship you have with the guy who rides the elevator with you every day at the office. You don’t know each other, but you sort of do. You are each on your way somewhere else and are just passing by and you wish each other well. She eventually promised to have her son program Rose’s number into her phone and the calls stopped. I still have the same number but haven’t heard from her in years. I miss her.. The one with the surprise visit, from G E: I got a call from a girl asking “Is this Matt?” I told her she had the wrong number. She called again asking for Matt, I told her again, it’s the wrong number. On the third call, I said “Hey, what’s up?” and went along as if I were Matt. She asked if I was home, I replied “Yeah.” She asked if she could come over. I said “Yeah, come on by.”Always curious as to how that turned out for her and Matt. The one with the shady gun deal, from notinvitedback: My phone fell out of my bag in Dupont Circle and the guy that found it made good use of my number for the five- ish days or so before I got a new one. I still receive calls and texts meant for him sometimes. Most memorable was a string of photos of seven different handguns and one semi- automatic lying on someone’s beige duvet with the message: “tell him which one he want different prices.”The one with three names that start with the same letter, from hagrok: Many years ago, I got a rather suggestive message from a number not in my contact list. I showed it to my manager on duty, saying “ha ha check this out, someone sent a dirty text to the wrong number.” Manager looked at the number and said, “Uh, I think that’s the boss’s number.” Checked the number against his phone.. Cue the hysterical laughter. Boss said it was a text meant for his wife, whose name started with the same letter as mine. Turned out—when he was fired for sexual harassment with an official veneer of failing to do his job—it was actually meant for another manager in the store, whose name also started with the same letter as mine. The one with the early morning vent session, from Evil Closet Monkey: When in college (mid- 9. I received a phone call at 4 a. Answering “Hello?” in a groggy half- awake voice, she replied inquisitively with my first name. When I replied “Yes,” it was enough for her that she had the right person. So began a 5- minute long explanation of the worst day this young women had ever had. It has been too long for me to remember everything that happened to this poor girl, but I do recall gum getting in her hair at some point during the day.. She broke long enough to ask me if I was still listening at least once. I confirmed I was, only to be met with more of the day’s hardships. Finally, she paused long enough. It sounds horrible.” I said.“But..” I was finally awake enough to conjure coherent thought. You don’t even care!” She swiftly hung up the phone. The one with Mrs.
