What would you make of this?

[nsldriver]

You left a job and a colleague gave you a personal card asking you to keep in touch and a lovely gift. The card has her mobile number in so later you text to say thank you again but the mobile number is wrong. What would you think ?

They must have made a mistake when writing it down.

I'd think they've written incorrectly. What else is there to think?

Just that their writing is bad or they scribbled it out incorrectly.

It's really neat writing and who gets their own number wrong ?

On the phone to HMRC the other day I misspelled my own surname twice. Mistakes happen.

What's your ridiculous theory op?

What was the gift ?

I'm jumping to conclusions that it was intentional then ?

If it was intentional that she wanted to break contact then she could have not given her number. Someone who gives a nice gift clearly likes you

Lots of people don't know their own number, or sort of remember it and then transpose numbers.It is much more likely to be a mistake than deliberate, especially if you think she is a generally pretty normal and not given to overly elaborate mind fucks.

I cannot count the amount of times I’ve stood at a checkout panicking because I’ve forgotten my PIN number. Damn you contactless!

It’s an easy mistake to make op, I wouldn’t give it a second thought.

You’re reading way to much into this. There is no reason for her to leave her number in the card (or at least attempt!) if she didn’t want to actually keep in touch.

I’ve had my number for 6m and still can’t give it right 100% of the time, I do a weird hybrid of old and new numbers (had it like that on my CV for several weeks before I realised )

I also regularly give my work address as my actual address

I don't know mine. I was calling someone about a service and got voicemail so I looked at where I'd jotted my mobile number down to leave it on the voicemail, along with my email. Embarrassingly I left them the mobile number of a rival service provider instead which I'd also jotted down. I found out when I got a puzzled email from them!

I have no idea what my number is. There must be a bunch of people out there thinking I’ve ibtebtionally given them the wrong number

I dont see it as intentional, after all she didn't need to give her number in the first place.

Why would she bother to give you her number if she didn't want to? surely she'd have just given you the gift

Massively overthinking it.

Is there anyone you know who may have her number ?

I've given my phone number out wrong a couple of times in the last few months and I'm usually pretty good at remembering. Sometimes numbers just go a bit squiffy in our heads! If she didn't mean it OP she wouldn't have left her number at all. I doubt very much that she deliberately gave you a wrong number. Why would you think so badly of this person to assume that's what she did?

I don't think badly of her at all, I think badly of me because I wouldn't give me my number.
