I was on a Greyhound bus going to go see my mom and dad for the last time before they passed away. I was with my daughter and there was this guy who clearly just got released from prison. Who was super sweet and I don’t know what he did but that’s besides the point. He kept asking people to help him but most refused. But he came to me and begged me to help him and I said I would help. He had a prepaid phone and the plan he had was so many minutes on the phone call and so many minutes to text. He couldn’t figure out why his phone wouldn’t let him call. It was because he used all his call minutes. I said you would have to text the person you’re talking to. He said I can’t do that I don’t know how to read or write. So I said do you want me to write a message for you. So he had me write a message to his girlfriend. In the message first thing I said is I am getting a nice woman to help me text. That way the woman didn’t say anything personal that I shouldn’t read lol
He had me text things that was like yo girl what up All Ight lol One point he said can you put in some of those text short words you know that people use I want her to think that I’m cool. LMFAO so I wrote C U L8R lol At the end he asked what does that mean I said see you later and he goes that’s cool. He was just all excited. I helped him even text his dad telling him that he needed a phone card that only did phone calls. The guy had to be at that time in his mid-40s and he didn’t know how to read or write. Honestly breaks my heart that he probably got into serious problems in his life because he didn’t know how to read or write.
