This needs to be told...
This evening, someone buzzes me, number unknown. I'm a pretty curious person, so I buzz back to see if they write me something or call... I wont do that first, because I don't waste money for such a thing, however curious I may be.
Anyway, they do write me back.. saying "hi, how are you? any news?" to which I reply: "I'm sorry, I think you misdialled". "Oh sorry, I'm miky, I had your number in my memory... where are you from?" I wondered for a while about whether to answer or not, then I wrote back, "I'm from teramo and studying in bologna, but I have no idea where you might have got my number from, I don't know any michele or michela.." So he answers:
"Well, nice to meet you, I'm Michele, from Rovereto, 22 years old, and what about you?" - At this point I consulted my roommate, because she is from Rovereto and she does have a friend (or two, but only one that might, maybe have my number for a mistake) whose name is Michele and is that age... the number was different, but still I wrote back to him: "Are you riba by chance?" (riba being the nickname of this friend of Irena's). He wrote back, saying:
"No, why vero? and how old are you?" - I started getting annoyed at this, for the insistence of the questions and over all for that "vero", those of you who know me just slightly have an idea of how I hate people calling me like that without even knowing me!! But anyway I wrote back:
"Because my roommate is from Rovereto and she has a friend who's called Michele, what's your surname?" (because Irena said he could be just playing a silly game) - he wrote back and said: "M..., so you have a friend from rovereto who lives in bologna with you?" "Yeah" I say, "I'm half from there myself. How do you have my number anyway?"
And here the thing starts getting interesting... He writes back saying:
"I have.. no ideea (with two e) Anyway I'm 1.70m tall, blue eyes, brown hair, sweet, romantic, sincere... what about you?"
You have no idea how my roommates and I burst out laughing reading this. It's the most desperate and absolutely ridiculous things that's ever been sent to me. It was so funny that I couldnt help myself:
"Oh god, the man of my life! My horoscope told me today!"
And the idiot replies:
"Oh really? What are you like?" - SO annoying, but I was starting to have fun
"I'm tall, blonde and beautiful"
Didn't he realize I was mocking him? His reply: "Willyou send me pic? Illsend you mine then" (the lack of spaces is all his work)
To which I thought that the fun was already over if I had to give him my email or something, the idea that a perfectly scary stranger has my telephone number was already disturbing, so I said:
"You're kidding me, arent you? If this is a joke just say it.."
Reply:
"I swear to you vero, this is not a jok. What are you like physic.?" (the abbreviations are all his, scherz. instead of scherzo, fisic. instead of fisicamente... he wrote in a VERY weird way, the guy... at the beginning he had written Kiao instead of Ciao, never seen anything so idiot)
Here, two vero from a perfect unknown were definitely too much. I wrote back:
"First of all, don't you call me vero, you dont even know me. Secondly, if this is not a joke, then I'm not interested."
And oh, by magic, my prince charming vanished into nothing. Never heard from him (and hopefully never will!)
My god, what people exist nowadays.... what people!

Ma... 22 anni? Sei sicura che in realtà non ne avesse, diciamo... 16? Già l'"approccio via sms" lascia un po' a desiderare, in più le abbreviazioni idiote... mah, sarà stato solo uno che aveva del tempo (e del soldi nel cellulare) da buttar via!
Se torna a stressarti, prova a rispondergli mettendo ben in evidenza nel messaggio la parola "denuncia", vedrai che non si farà sentire mai più XDDD
Dai dai, non pensarci più... In fondo, ti sei fatta qualche bella risata grazie a quel tipo, giusto? ;)
certo che ce n'è di gente strana al mondo!!! e faceva pure un po' paura O___O
beh, dai...credo che non si farà più sentire :-D
I agree also about the nickname...it would be annoying.
And I commend you on how you handled it :P
A presto
I didnt think I had told you the story... so I cant remember you commenting on how I handled it, but anyway.
Apparently Italians are desperate, thats the thing... romantic could even go, if necessary, when I am with someone, but not from someone I barely know at all!! How terribly annoying. I was really shocked at this guy anyway. Not a bit of self-respect, not a shadow of pride...
And hey, I know you forgot about my birthday (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), but I still did have it! So i'm 21, and since it's may, im 21 and a half, and this means that 22 is only some six months older than me!
