I’m sorry, I must have butt-called you!
Hello again readers! I’ve gotten a lot of guest submissions, so I’m once again using my day to publish a post that was sent to me. Imerika is the author and she can be found here. Enjoy!- brandy
This goes under “Why didn’t I think of that?!” fame
My friend wanted to call her ex whom she has been in contact with since they broke up in early December. They have a mixed up relationship now where they are kinda friends, kinda not. But that’s a whole other blog!
So he had called her Friday night, and she missed it. So she really wanted to call him back but at the same time, didn’t, because that would put him back in control, right? Oh the games we play. Anyhow, she lost her resolve and at about 10 or so that evening, she calls him. After the third ring, she begins to panick. “What if he doesn’t answer?”
So instead of feeling better of herself for calling back she’s left in that awful state of having called him, and having to wait AGAIN for him to call, which is way worse than if you hadn’t called in the first place!
As she began to hear the fourth ring, she really started to lose it. “Why had I never blocked my number?!” she silently cursed to herself.
And as she heard his voicemail, there was only one thing to do: Not say anything.
That’s right. The phone beeped, and it was time to leave a message, and instead of saying anything, she let the phone catch the static and noises in the background.
When he called about 10 minutes later and asked “Hey did you call me?”
She said, “Oh did I? I’m sorry, I must have butt-called you.”
You know, where you leave the phone in your butt pocket and accidentally dial someone by mistake. GENIUS!
Now, I’ve been butt-called before and have gotten messages where i hear music in the background but nothing else. Now I will always wonder, did they butt-call me on purpose?
Although I somehow think boys are not this clever…Have you ever butt-called someone on purpose? Any other suggestions as to how to call someone without actually “calling” them?

I have absolutely done this! I don’t know if I am disappointed that I am not the only genius, or incredibly relieved that someone, somewhere out there is as pathetically insane as I am.

Wow… I’ve never done this but reading about it made me laugh out loud and I might have to orchestrate the opportunity to make it happen. I can butt-dial E-Boy… it’ll be a good story. thanks for the chuckle.

I’ve done it on purpose as part of a prank and I’ve done it by accident especially with my old razor phone (may it rest in peace).

THAT is soooo funny, and it really is genius!

that is ABSOLUTELY genius. I will have to use that one!

I want someones butt to call me.
Actually, just JLo’s butt in particular. I’m guessing her butt has it’s own phone….so no excuses there.

who HASN’T done this??
I have ALSO “accidentially” sent a text message to boy #1 and “SAY” that is was meant for boy #2.
For instance, let’s say I’m mad at boy #1 for whatever reason (fighting, breaking up, blah blah)
I will send him a text that reads something like this:
“I’ve missed you too…. really looking forward to seeing you tonight”
Boy #1 will KNOW the text was meant for someone else because we are fighting, and he will be forced with the though of me missing someone else and looking forward to seeing them!!
It’s genius - you should try it. The best way to claim your vengeance.

That is one of the most awesome excuses I have ever heard.

The butt call is kind of a wonderful excuse. I am still getting used to the sensitivity of my iPhone, so I sometimes try to scroll and accidentally hit a button instead… but that sounds like too wordy of an excuse.
I just text instead. It seems so much more casual, and you can not respond for ages without even needing to provide an excuse.

i just saw a commercial about this last night! it’s hilarious. i have called someone and then regretted it so i’ve made up some excuse that i accidentally called them.
