That was the entire content of the message. No question mark, no greeting, just three simple words.

Of course, I know the best course of action is to not respond.

However... it's SO much more fun to think of potential responses.

* Santa Claus
* Yo mama
* Some slacker you randomly decided to text
* Your worst nightmare
* Why are you texting my 12-year-old daughter?
* ____ Biden (Joe, Hunter, Beau, whatever)
* Jen "Circle-back" Psaki
* Talibanman
* Epstein. I'm not really dead.
* Ferris Bueller
* Goose Coonman (very tempting, just because it's funnny)
* George Washington, FDR, Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, any number of other Presidents
* Texas Pete / Johnny Appleseed / Buffalo Bill
* Uncle Ben / Aunt Jemima
* 42
* I'm Bart Simpson. Who the hell are you?
* Your neighbor. Are you okay?
* Have you hit your head??

It's a great opportunity to be a smarty-pants for a moment. Whatcha got?

Had a few of those, though it has been a while.

I responded with something random along the lines of “I am me and you are you, therefore I am and you are not”.

Never got a response as I recall.

Yes, first base.

Who?

It's a good smarty-pants answer -- it's got absolutely nothing to do with the question. Like "42."

I am the walrus. Goo goo g'joob.

I’ve had that happen twice. I engaged in conversation both times and both times they said they had a missed call from me when I know damn well I never called them and I would tell them so. Some scammer telemarketer got my number and used it to call people in the area. They would be curious enough to text me later and ask “Who is this”.

Bro … 1940s comedy bit (A&C)

Ruins it to explain

(Sheepishly: ) Oops! Before my time...

Same I use when I know it's a junk call....

I’ve been trying to contact you regarding a recently diagnosed STD.

Probably just some scammer used your phone number spoofed to try and scam someone. That person saw a misses call and texted you.

This is me.

or

I am who this is.

I'm Batman!

Michael Scott, is that you?

Send me a boob pic

I often respond with that to the daily random text.
Yet to get one

I also tell the car warranty folks that my wife won’t give me any pussy. That ends it pretty quick.

Someone probably spoofed your number when contacting someone else.
You should have asked them if they wanted to buy an extended car warranty because theirs is about to expire.
