Neighbor Number - Really Sort Of Odd Text Message (1 Viewer)

Got a text message from a person proclaiming that -- rightly so, indeed -- we we're "neighbor numbers." They wanted to reach out and tell me their number was one off of mine. They said hello. 

What in the heck is the play on this one? Do I respond or ignore at all cost? My beeping thing might go off on my phone if they keep texting --  and though I hate adjusting settings, this might be the case, if I knew how. I mean, there are lots of things in this world that are seemingly cosmic, but "neighbor number?" 

Argy bargy, that's annoyingly accurate.

It's a thing going around the internet. Nothing to it, just an attempt at being playful.

Thanks. I was going to look it up and figured it wasn't serious, but also figured I'd check here to see if anyone had heard of it. I got a "wassup" with it, so that's cool, I guess. Nothing real pressing, just wanted the scoop. I indeed have a number neighbor, it seems.  I can breathe easy again knowing this.  

 
There was a funny burn I saw posted that went something like this 

X: hey we are number neighbors, our phone numbers are the same but one number apart

Y: I am 13 leave me alone

X: Oh sorry I am 23, it's just this internet challenge going around

Y: So you are 23 and doing an internet challenge

Seriously, this is the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw this. I thought, "What if this person is young and their parents are encouraging them to do this or something? How should I respond? Should I respond? How do we socialize kids today?" But then I thought about the "wassup" and figured he or she was too old for that sort of gentle socialization. 

I think I'll let it lie dormant unless I get a follow-up. Then I'll play the mean old leave-me-alone ******* or some such rot. Or just a gentle, "Yes, indeed, we are number neighbors. Thanks for letting me know. Have a good day."

I think that case I quoted was the kid just delivered a "sick burn" to the adult texting him with the number neighbor thing...but I like the bud light wazzzuuuup approach

Yeah, I went from reasonably cautious and responsible to let's see if he or she understands irony laughing at attempts at commercialized irony in two secs flat.  

I think the ironic universe might just fold in on itself here.

I think that happened a couple years ago. There is almost no other explanation for the current state of affairs.

Oooooof. I think you're right. I'm really not sure.

I'm going to veer hard political here, but a thought crossed my mind the other day. You ever think that every time he has to say "Article II," the II part (placed there for a reason and against objections, of course) bothers him? 

Just a touch? 

"Article What?"

"Um, Two, Mr. President."

"Mr. President? Who the heck came up with this [garbled voice saying something approximating Article II Mr. President ####]..."

I just sent the Bud Light thing out for response. We'll see...
