If only carrot can run…

As a frequent instant messaging user, for Yahoo, MSN and Skype, I always communicate with my friends through the channel. It is very convenient, fast, easy and free! It is almost like the primary communication channel for me and most of my friends that I seldom meet. But chatting through the internet, we could keep in touch everyday, effortlessly.

But today I embarrassed myself by chatting with the wrong person. One of my friends changed his nickname so frequently that I only identified him by his display picture. Upon seeing him online today, I quickly clicked on him and greeted him. He greeted me back and asked how I am.

I started to complain about not feeling well and stuffs. He asked where I am working right now!

I felt that something was not right and took a glance at his email and oopps.. gosh! I got the wrong person. The person that I am chatting with was a distance friend that I haven’t been keeping in touch for a long time and he must be thinking what was wrong with me.

Before I embarrassed myself further, I signed out and pretended that it didn’t happen. It was silly but well, I wasn’t thinking right.

Have you been in the same situation and what would you do if you are in my shoes?
