Okay, I have a dilemma. Well I have like eight at the moment. But this is the weirdest and least stressful one. So I’m putting this out there. Because I don’t know what to do.

Here’s the deal:

I woke up this morning and had a new text message on my phone. Didn’t recognize the number or even the area code, but I thought it was perhaps a grumpy creditor or something. So I opened it.

To find a picture of male genitalia.

After the initial surprise and bemusement wore off, I thought about it for a minute (not the picture, mind you—that put me off eating for a few hours). I was initially inclined to delete it and chalk it up to a wrong number (it came in at 2 AM). Then I was inclined to mock it. But that would be too easy.

I checked out the number online (who the hell is daft enough to send pictures of their junk from an unblocked number?) and it appears to be an Iowa area code (although it may be a phone residing in Fairmont, MN depending on where you look).

So what to do? I don’t feel like it’s illegal because I’m over 18. And I don’t feel like calling the number (or responding) in case it’s some scam I’m not currently aware of. But I do feel like there must be consequences. Either for their stupidity or their douchebaggery. Whichever is more appropriate.

I have the phone number. I have the picture. But I don’t have any good ideas. Thoughts, anyone?
