A Gulfport, Mississippi, police officer recently gave a hilarious response after someone accidentally texted him to get together to “smoke.”
The Gulfport Police Department shared a text exchange between a person believed to have been chatting with a friend, but instead, it was an officer.
The conversation started with the unidentified person shortly after 10 p.m. when the initiator asked his “friend” what he was up to.
“Chillin, hbu [how about you],” the officer wrote.
“Wanna smoke,” the random person asked.
The officer responded to the invitation, writing, “I don’t think I’m going to be able to smoke with you.”
The person responded back, “Bruh, we smoke all the time.”
The officer informed the person they likely had the wrong phone number, but the person persisted.
“Bruh, stop cappin [lying or joking],” the person wrote.
Rather than continue the exchange, the officer took a picture of himself holding his police badge and sent it to the person.
After sharing the screenshots of the text exchange, the department offered some advice to the public on Facebook.
“Pro tip: Before you send the text, double-check the number. Nothing like a wrong number text to really spice up someone’s day,” the department wrote.
