So you’re a huge Blake Griffin fan who dreams of taking the Los Angeles Clippers power forward on a dinner date. With tickets to an upcoming game and wanting to get noticed by Griffin, you decide to make a massive poster asking the former Oklahoma star out for an evening on the town.
Pretty smooth decision, right? Well, everything was going good until you decided to put your phone number on the sign and hold it up for the 17,000 fans who are also attending the game with you. Even worse is when the television cameras capture you shaking your sign all about, providing your cell number to everybody watching at home.
Sounds like a nightmare scenario but one that happened to 20-year-old Clippers fan Danielle Richards.
The end result? A whole lot of data usage on her phone according to SBNation.
381: Text messages received
188: Phone calls received
174: Texts or calls from someone named “Blake”
29: People pretending to be other athletes
63: Dinner invitations
52: Requests for a photo
6: Unsolicited photos
Yikes. Thankfully nobody decided to send any pictures of their junk to the Blake Griffin fan, which is a bit alarming considering what I sent. I guess my text message didn’t successfully go through. Bummer.
