The Leila Texts »

Leila Sales receives random text messages from strangers due to a glitch in Verizon’s system and blogs them for us all to see:

You’re a prostitute.
from a 978 phone number, Sunday, March 2, 12:55 AM

I was out with my friend Clare when I received this text message. Clare was like, “Oh my God, let me respond, please.” So she texted back (on her own phone), “No, YOU are a prostitute.”

978 then texted Clare back with something like, “No, you are.”

Clare said, “Uh… this is a little weird.”

I was like, “Yeah, welcome to the Leila Texts.”
