While most people were quick to tell Mike he had the wrong number, one person apparently took his message seriously and at first called him a ‘loser’ for breaking up with them over text.

‘You never fight for me,’ this person added.

Mike asked whether this was ‘about that time with the bees’, and the other person, hilariously, seemed to know exactly what he was referring to.

But it seems as though Mike’s conversation partner had guessed what was going on and had decided to play along with the joke.

When Mike asked if he could come over, the person replied ‘Of course’, after which Mike asked for their address.

The person replied by sending him to 701 Montgomery Street in San Francisco, which isn’t a residential address but that of the city’s Church Of Scientology building. 

How dare they: Mike also tried to pretend he was breaking up with someone because they'd said they didn't like the Netflix hit show Stranger Things

Manners: Someone tried to school Mike by telling him that if he's going to break up by text, he should at least get the number right, but Mike didn't repent

They get each other: One of the recipients of Mike's texts responded with a gif of Chris Pratt in Parks And Recreation, to which Mike replied with one of Lisa Kudrow in Friends

Most people who received Mike’s texts were prompt to point out he had the wrong number, but seemed convinced he was actually trying to break up with someone and not just playing a prank on them.

Someone called him out by saying this was ‘kind of a s****y way to break up with someone’, while another person pointed out they weren’t currently dating anyone.

Mike also tried to pretend he was breaking up with someone because they’d said they didn’t like the Netflix hit show Stranger Things, but that person had no recollection of condemning the horror sci-fi show.

One of the recipients schooled Mike by telling him that if he’s going to break up with someone, he should at least get the wrong number.

However, Mike pretended he had no idea what that person was talking about, and threatened to have already written a ‘Taylor-Swiftesque song’ about them.
