A 35-year-old man from Wisconsin was enjoying his day off from work recently when a text suddenly appeared in his inbox. “Hunny please grab milk and lunch meet on your way home,” read the message. Given that the man, who goes by the name of velakskin, was already at home, and given that he didn’t recognize the number, he figured that the sender had obviously contacted the wrong person. Despite repeatedly trying to convince them of this however, the sender refused to believe that they weren’t talking to Jess, their own 18-year-old daughter. And as you can see below, things escalated pretty quickly…

What do you think ?
I hope Jess inherited 0% of her mother's intelligence.
And also 0% of here parenting methods.
and now we know what drove jess to use drugs. poor girl.
Don't worry, 100% would be zero too.
LMAO 😂
Let's use some of our own intelligence, and think critically about the story, shall we? 1. Mom keys in her daughter's number and is immediately told that she got it wrong. 99.9% of people would check the number at the top of the conversation, realize the mistake, and move on. 2. Mom is given pictures of the other person and told multiple times the number is wrong. This is where the other 0.1% would stop and check for a mistake. 3. Hard to believe Mom doesn't have her daughter's number already in contacts, but even if not, she should have previous messages from her daughter. If she even checked her other conversations, she would immediately realize the mistake. 4. Instead of taking 3 seconds to check, Mom (over a period of two hours) does the following: Accuses her daughter of using drugs (again!), reminds her daughter of her own birth date, cancels her daughter's credit card, and calls her friend's mom to find out what's going on. During all of this, she can't check the number?
I know a president that would react like that... and worse... and then tweet about it and call the other person a loser
While I admit that there's a strong possibility that this is staged or otherwise faked, I know people that would react similarly to this. It's a combination of narcissism and just plain being an asshole with a short fuse. The narcissism makes them think that they do no wrong, not even dial a wrong number, and it makes them think that almost everyone in the world is out to get them somehow. In my experience this goes 10-fold for those closest to them. They'll accuse their spouse and/or children of maliciously trying to make them look bad or of trying to insult them. Often it's over little, innocent mistakes or even over small talk. Not having her daughter's number saved is weird, and I'll agree that that alone does tip the scales toward it being staged, but make no mistake' there are people in the world that act and react exactly like this.
Annie Martin: I did consider this. There certainly are people who won't believe they are capable of making a mistake, even when confronted with strong evidence to the contrary. Things that make it less plausible: Mom doesn't have her daughter in contacts. Mom thinks people in the photo are Brad's family, but upon calling Brad's mom, doesn't figure it out. When it seems she is finally starting to question the situation, instead of just calling her daughter directly, she drives home from work in the middle of the day. An hour earlier, Dad was supposed to have been home for lunch, so she also could have called Dad to see what was going on. This behavior doesn't make sense for an actual person, but it makes perfect sense in the context of a fictional piece--she can't call her daughter or her husband, because that would remove the central conflict and ruin the story. Additionally, interactions seem contrived: (But you love ham! But you were 11 years old! Are you on drugs again? Etc.)
It is a completely unbelievable story. She carries on for two hours doing everything in the world except taking three seconds to look at the number at the top of her screen. After all of her completely bizarre behavior toward a completely understanding party on the other end of the line--when she is finally confronted with the mistake--what does she do? Why, she suddenly starts swearing like some kind of coked-up hooker who just got stiffed, punched in the tits, and told to walk home. This isn't a Mom who is stupid or unreasonable, no. This is a Mom who acts like some kind of weird, angry robot, who can only send text messages, and who can't check a phone number or receive a call to confirm who she is speaking to. In short, this is not the behavior of an actual person. It is a contrived character. She was designed to make you angry at her, to make you want to share this story on your wall. Why? Because then boredpanda.com gets more visits and more ad revenue.
Joel Lee you really are a warrior for rationality and critical thinking. But I fear you may be swimming upstream against a current of ignorance and desperate desire to believe the absolute worst in people. I very much admire your perseverance and patience though. Hope you don't become too jaded and that you keep at it!
I hope Jess inherited 0% of her mom's values
Poor Jess
I think Jess is pretty much like her mother. If that is the case, then the fruit really don't fall that far from the trees. I swear this woman sounds high but that's just me. I don't know.
There was 0 intelligence to be inherited from the mother, Id say. God I feel for Jess, I would be on drugs too if I had a mom that dense. imagine what all Jess has had to try to explain to her throughout life, to no avail.
There actually was NOTHING to inherit there hahaha
I have never seen so many upvotes before
I had the same thought right off. Plus one would hope Jess doesn't learn any of this mother's horrible manners. I also hope Jess can read better & has learned to tell the difference between a photo of a total stranger & a photo of the mom.
I'm pretty sure her mother has 0 IQ anyways, so...
I think Jess's 'mom' is a rude, stupid cow.
Don't insult cows, they are important sources of milk and protein.
I think cows have more intelligence than this!
Haha,Chin Jern..yeah cow are important source of milk 😂😂😂
Cows are also a source of methane gas (cow farts) which contributes to global warming. In this cow's case I think she was too busy blowing it out her posterior to pay attention to what this nice Wisconsin man was repeatedly saying. And, apparently this cow needs her eyes examined too, since she was unable to see that the photos the guy sent were not photos of Jess.
Animals are alive too, and they are more than potential human food...
Don't call her a pig either, pigs are a good source for ham :P
Lois Oliver, whilst I agree with you based on the rudeness of others, the mother could have been a lot nicer to that man, who repeatedly advised her that she had texted the incorrect number. She could have apologised; instead, she acted extremely immature about the whole conversation, and swore at the man for herself contacting the wrong number. Kindness goes two ways; it's not a one way street. She should treat others as she wishes to be treated.
Just out of curiosity. Did it ever occur to you that this might be set up to create clickbait? It would be the easiest thing in the world to do. When you really think about it is this not by far the most likely explanation of what happened here?
That's rude... Cows are really smart. Even smarter than horses actually.

Calling someone a cow is rude, so guess you don't need to be rude to criticize her for being rude

Don't understand people's first reaction to calling names. Haven't you even done something stupid, so stupid you looked around to see if someone saw it. Of course you have, even if you don't admit it, you have. Be kind, it comes back to you. At least the universe has kindness in it instead of hate.
Once she realized she dialed the wrong number, she could've said she was sorry but instead she continued being rude and nasty to the guy.
i agree with you somewhat... but she could have apologized when she realized her mistake, and not try to blame it on him.
The universe is space filled with planets and stars and whatnot. It has no kindness or hate. Or any emotions.
I'm soooo sorry for that kid of hers. He must go through hell with a witch like that as a mother.
She*
"She*" — how can we be sure? maybe mom is wrong on that too...
Sir, that is offensive to witches.
I stand corrected, good sir
Hey watch the witch cracks we are good people.
Sorry about the 'witch' comment. Would 'bitch' be more apropo?
What makes you think 'Jess' is male? I think 'Jess' is that witch's daughter.
I don't get how the word "daughter" could have made someone else think Jess is a son or a male.
I hope Jess inherited 0% of her mother's intelligence.
