I made a grave mistake of pulling a bird on a night out and giving her my punting phone number. Chat between us started to get hot and steamy with a few topless pictures exchanged and dirty talk about what we were gonna do to one another in the bedroom. Happy days I thought….until…. Got over onfident and made the mistake of bringing the punting phone into the house thinking I could chat away when the Mrs went to sleep.
Low and behold she found this phone which I had hidden under the bed of the spare room. Thoughts of divorce and being a part time dad immediately came to mind. She locked herself in our bedroom and tried to work her way through the phone. Here is where the sudden twist comes in….
I always keep the charge on punting phone low so this bought me time to think whilst she waited for it to recharge. Furthermore, I put a pin code on the phone so when she questioned me I simply said “the phone is not mine… I found it on the street outside the gym today and was looking to charge it with a view to finding some clues to return it to rightful owner”. I told her I had hid it under the bed to avoid this exact sort of reaction and was disgusted how she could accuse me of cheating on her.
Naturally the Mrs didnt believe me. She asked for my actual phone, searched bank transactions and my emails for mobile phone purchase receipts. Of course I had purchased phone and credits with cash so no trace.
Pulled on the charm and had sex with her that night, so as to minimise her chances of unlocking the phone and suggested that I return it to the gym in the morning as the rightful owner was probably looking for it. Mrs was wise to this and suggested that she will keep the phone, find the IMEI number and ask network for owner details or get her IT savvy friend to hack it open. Hacking it open would be dangerous for me as there was some incriminating information on there.
Using my brain I realised I needed someone to come to my house as soon as possible the next morning and claim that they have used the “find my phone” app and located their phone to my house. Luckily I have a work phone so called im one of the boys to ask their boys to knock the door and reclaim the phone. Needless to say this worked a treat, and got my phone back the same day!
Morale of the story is, keep the punting phone away from the house and don’t get involved with civvies! Cheaper to pay for the punt than lose your marriage over one! Above is also a great example of how to manage the situation if your Mrs ever finds your punting phone!
