A bit of a weird couple of days from my perspective.
My personal phone number used to be that of Jacob Surjan's, it didn't take long before discovering it as I'd get drunk phone calls on a Saturday night from ex AFL players and messages asking to catch up etc.
Sunday night I received an sms opening with G'day Surj and then proceeding to ask when would be a good time to call for a chat, it was from Tex.
It was kind of weird and I was taken by surprise but I ended up replying that it was no longer Surj's number, I then signed off with "take care mate".
Yesterday the phone rings and it's a foreign number, I answer it and as quick as I did there's some bloke rattling his gums immediately and once he came up for air I intervened to explain that I'm not Surj (It was Michael Doughty BTW).
Half an hour later the same number calls again and immediately broke into convo again "Hey Surj, it's me again, Tex has ***** until half two, how does 3 o'clock sound for Robbie?" I then had to explain again that he'd called the wrong number.
It was pretty bloody hard keeping my loose lips shut for the afternoon as I knew there was a meeting taking place, reading on here, hearing it at work and seeing it all over FB made it more difficult to say nothing, I did pm a couple of blokes on here.
At the end of the day, whether you think it was poorly done, unprofessional, whether you thought it was touching, the right thing to do, too late, too early or whatever enters your mind it is all irrelevant.
You don't know what goes though someone's mind unless you walk a mile in their shoes.
