If you sent a text message to a friend and answered, "May I know who you are?", what would you do?
a. Introduce yourself and remind her/him that you are friends. :-D
b. Call her/him and ask your friend 'what's the problem?". :-(
c. Tell her/him that you got the wrong number. :-)
d. Do not reply; be mad because your name is not on your friend's phone book. :-(
e. None of the above. ;-)
Honestly, I will be giving the person a chance at first. There are many reasons why my number is not on the list anymore. And one of them is probably she/he bought a new cel phone unit and my name was not saved in the SIM. Or my name was deliberately erased. (hmmm... ponder)
But when you replied telling her/him your name and asked at the same time if she is BEA(for example) or if he is NEIL (for example), and the answer is no, what would you be expected to do? Of course, terminate the exchange of text messages, isn't it? You are probably talking to a stranger. And a stranger it is who would ask if you are who you are (adding insult to injury).
I do not coerce anyone to be my friend. Friendship is a mutual relationship of give-and-take and when I am a friend, I am a friend till the end if a friend remains a friend.
ill probly pretend to be someone else, tipong nakikipagtextmate hehe. tapos saka din ako magpapakilala eventually.
ReplyDeletei'll ask if he/she is my friend and if the answer is no, i'll apologize or i will not reply anymore.
ReplyDeleteIf somebody asked me that question after sending him/her a friendship text message or just simply hi/hello.... I'll just say sorry maybe I sent to a wrong number but how could that be? she/he is my friend so I have her/his number on my phonebook, maybe he/she doesn't want me anymore?
ReplyDeleteor maybe somebody has her/his sim card? pwede ba yun?
I'd tell her my name and if she or he said he does not know person of such a name, I'll stop text messaging but will apologize first.
ReplyDelete:wink:
chelsea, it will really be interesting for younger and available people like you to do that. :-) pero ako, i'll just stop right there.
ReplyDeletejust as simple as that, di ba, evi?
if somebody has your friend's sim card, nalen, she/he must not ask further questions like - are you really nalen?
yea, as simple as that, kyels. :-)
when a friend answers me "may I know who's this"...it's either he or she is making fun of me or something went wrong with his or her phonebook :)
ReplyDeleteI'll text back my complete name. If he/she doesn't recognize my name, then that's the end of it. He/she is not my friend after all. Maybe, the person at the other end is a thief who stole my friend's celfone.
ReplyDelete"A" syempre.
ReplyDeleteAng arte ko naman kung magmamaasim pa ko.
Pero pag di pa rin... di ko na lang ipagpapatuloy yung conversation. Aba, ako pa yung nalimutan nya eh yung teachers ko nga nung elementary eh kilala pa rin ako.
ReplyDeleteI'll remind him/her it's me. But initially, I admit I would feel bad. Friend ko siya, bakit di niya store number ko sa phone book nya. *sobs*
ReplyDeleteAnyway, ang ayaw ko sa ibang tao, when you text them and they don't know who you are, they ask bluntly: CNO k? OR Hu u? For me, they can say it in a more polite way, like: Who is this please? or May I know who you are? or Your name please?
I'd type out my name of course, and if that doesn't jog the other person's memory then nothing else will. Que sera sera...
ReplyDeletemy answer :
ReplyDeleteF : itetext ko siya ng Welcome to My Idol textroll, text No to unsubscribe. :)
making fun, verns? not a nice reason for me. :-(
ReplyDeletethat's acceptable, abaniko, that is, if the unit was stolen. what if there is this hint that she/he knows you and tells you she/he has about these many friends with the same name? para namang nakakaloko, di ba?
ha ha ha aliw na aliw ako sa sagot mo ngayon, mon!
i would feel bad, too, rhodora. and am partly guilty about the 'hu u?' reply. but that's before, i'd realized we really have to be polite and careful when replying. and when someone answered me once with that 'hu u?', i felt bad.
yea, nothing else will, single. talagang maaring kinalimutan ka na ha ha
gandang approach nyan, sexcess ha ha baka magmadali pa sa pagsagot nang maayos ha ha
hi bingskee! I actually received several of these text before and, yeah, I will give him/her a chance at first but if that person is someone who is close to me then I would definitely be annoyed.
ReplyDeleteannoying talaga, khonz. :-)
ReplyDeleteBing, link kita ha... :)
ReplyDeletesure, khonz, and thank you. will surely update mine if i have the time. :-)
ReplyDeletenapadaan lang. bagong bihis. sexcess.
