Be careful who you talk to on skype… they might not be your father!

by Tom on August 20, 2008

I’ve had someone add me on skype this morning, I always tend to accept invitations and when I tried to find out who it was I had the following conversation:

Me
hello
do I know you?

Unspecified Skype User
You should do!

I’m your Dad

Me
haha
why’s your profile say GMT + 1
are you really though? it’s not just like one of those…. “luke… I am your father” things

Unspecified Skype User
Because I’m in Holland which is GMT+1.

Me
huh?
you weren’t in holland yesterday were you?

Unspecified Skype User
I drove over yesterday with Simon!

Me
oh ok
who’s simon?

Unspecified Skype User
Ah.
I seem to have made a mistake.

Me
you’re not really my dad are you? lol

Unspecified Skype User
I must have sent the request to you accidentally.

Me
haha… that’s pretty funny

Unspecified Skype User
My appologies.

Me
no need to apologise
better than passing yourself off as family lol

Unspecified Skype User
Now I look at your profile I see your date of birth is not that of my son

Me
well I hope you find your offspring
and thanks for the 5 minute adoption

Unspecified Skype User
lol
NP

As you might be able to tell from the conversation, I don’t actually have my father on skype at the moment. Dad, if you’re reading this, add me quickly so that I don’t fall in to the trap of thinking other random skype users are family.
