My Swagbucks Stalker

Yesterday, I was watching SB apps on my cell phone. Every few minutes, this nice looking guy called me and wanted to video chat. I don't know how to do that, so I declined the call. He gave me this horrible defeated look when I did that. He kept calling, though. My son came in. I told him some guy was stalking me and asked him to talk to the guy. He grabbed the phone and hit accept and started telling the guy to leave his mom alone. Then it changed into an ad for a movie. The guy was Trevor Noah who apparently is a comedian in South Africa. I was so embarrassed to discover the truth. I am not worried about the stalker any more. It is just too weird that I thought he was calling me. Do you have any embarrassing technology stories?

Yes, I was annoyed and a little worried because he would not go away. My son had to go to work and was laughing all the way out the door.

@silvermist Actually, the whole thing is hilariously funny, a comedy of errors. That is why I chose to write about it here.

Oh my gosh that's too funny! So I guess Trevor Noah stopped stalking you after that ?

@akalinus You should try to call him to tell him about this experience - maybe he can use it in one of his comedic routines. But then again he might think you were a stalker !

Especially since he is in South Africa and I am in Florida. He was back again today. He just can't get enough of me.

Too funny! Sounds like something my mom or boyfriend would have happen to them!

It is so wild that I had to put it on here. Am I the only one who makes goofy internet mistakes?

Definitely not!! I'm sure others have funny stories like this one, they just selfishly want to keep the funnies to themselves. Can't think of any of my own though I know there must be some. I just can't remember at the moment.

@lwelizabeth They are embarrassing so not everyone wants to tell them.

Oh my goodness, Trevor Noah is ADORABLE! How could you decline a call from a face like that?!

@akalinus Just sit and admire the beautiful face on the screen? He does have an adorable accent as well, though, so I guess you are justified in wanting to hear his voice, too.

He is adorable but he just kept calling every few minutes and he wouldn't talk to me. What is a girl to do??

He mostly laughed when he figured it out. But, he would have taken on the guy if he had to. He was a heavyweight wrestler in high school and knows a few tricks.

Oh, my, Jo Ann! I don't really have any embarrassing stories about the machines believing I am worthy of watching their movies, no..... Hmmm... what did your son say to you after that? I hope it was nice! I thought about telling you the guy trying to video chat with you was me, but decided against that. I don't want your son yelling at me! You know, if you ever wanted to talk, I would give you my phone number, if you wanted it.

My son probably forgot all about it. He did think it was funny.

I don't have a mobile so hopefully this will never happen to me. And I can't imagine anyone stalking me in the first place.

I think the goofy stuff happens to me. I bet you have a story somewhere, maybe something that happened to someone else. Just don't use real names.
