Never store your Prof's mobile number on your cell

A very hilarious thing happened last week. There is this guy in CS dept who had put a night out last Thursday. Let me call him X. X felt terribly sleepy during all the classes on Friday. He had a 2 hour class of Prof. Y in the afternoon on Friday at 2:00 PM. This was after another lecture from 1:00 to 2:00 PM Since he was too sleepy, he decided that he would bunk the 2 hour class. He wanted to know if his friend Z was attending the class. So he put in an SMS - "Attending Class?" to Z during the 1'O clock class. He did not receive any reply from Z. At 2, he met Z outside the classroom and both decided to bunk the 2 hour class. So both went back to their rooms and crashed.

Later in the evening on Friday, X left his mobile in his room when he went to the mess. After dinner, he went to the lab to do some assignment. Then he noticed that there was a missed call from Prof. Y. He wondered how Prof. Y knew his mobile number. He did not want to call Prof. Y as it was already 10 PM. So he sent an SMS to Prof. Y saying - "Sorry. I did not have my mobile with me when you had called sir. Anything important?" He did not receive any reply though.

Then on Sunday, X was just checking the sent messages folder on his mobile. That is when he got a shock. He had sent 2 messages to Prof. Y. He remembered sending only one. So when he checked them, he saw that he had sent the "Attending Class?" message to Prof. Y instead of X.

Shit!!!

The actual names of Prof. Y and Z start with the same alphabet. So X chose Prof. Y in the phonebook by mistake. Yeah this is the problem of storing your Prof's mobile number on your cell. Well after this incident, X immediatly prefixed the names of all Prof's in his phonebook with "Z_" so that the likelihood that he sends a message to one of them by mistake is reduced immensely.


PS : No marks for guessing that X is me!!!
