My friends think I am weird for collecting used cell phones.  So I decided to explain my reason at a very anonymous place.

I collect used cell phones because of the text messages that are on there.  People sometimes forget to erase their old messages.  So here are my favorite two.

"come home soon  im naked."

"in bathroom wacking off"- in response to a message sent with a grocery list.

You should share all the best texts with your friends, so they don't think you're building a cell-controlled robot army. (I mean, you can still do that, but this way they'll stop suspecting that.)

Nope.  Most of these phones are really old so they usually have no cameras.  That is a possible reason why no one bothers erasing these messages.  They are so old that people forgot they used for things such as text messaging.

As for another text message conversation I dug up.
"Did u pick up Vaseline"
"No.  Take less shits"

I've had my share of weird (and possibly illegal) text SMSes on my phone, but I erase stuff after I read it, personally

When i got my iphone, I also got a new phone number.  It must have belonged to a drug dealer before me.  I got like 6-8 text messages.   


"hey, are you still selling"
"I'd like to get a package.  Is it a good time?"

Stuff like that, it has stopped now for a while now.  This also led to a few uncomfortable phone calls.

Damn. I wish I had that number but depends on what he is dealing.

I found a post it on the ground at a gas station once, with the phrase "Jessica's new number" on it, in girly handwriting. I coulda had some fun with that... wonder where it went.

You've never seen the excessive roundness and curliness (and sometimes tittles are replaced with diamonds or hearts. Linked to avoid unnecessary jokes) that some females employ in their handwriting style?

No one has time to do that, unless your writing a love letter or something
