Recently, we told you a story about how a simple misdial turned into a life-saving scenario masterminded by, randomly enough, a Jimmy John’s driver. We were so intrigued by the story that we decided to scour the Internet for similar tales of strangers connecting. Surprisingly, our research revealed one, very illuminating trend–the #wrongnumber text message.
Predictably, some recipients aren’t all that nice when they receive these unsolicited SMSs, but others respond in downright heroic–and often hilarious–ways! Here are 11 of our all-time favorite #wrongnumber texts…
