Yeah, So Quit Asking

A homeless man is sitting on a park bench. You are jogging.
As you jog up to him, he holds his hand out and asks for change, you jog on past, pretending that you can’t hear him over your iPod.

Feeling guilty, you stop. You reach into the pocket of your running shorts for a couple of bucks you were saving for a bottle of water. You turn around to jog back to the homeless man.

He is already standing right behind you. The park is suddenly abandoned. His eyes are wriggling masses of wasp larvae, he outstretches his arms, each which are 5 feet in length. His mouth opens inexplicably wide, his lower jaw touching his sternum. The only sound he emits from his gaping mouth is a dial tone.

Before he pulls you into the black cavernous throat of his, you have time to scream,

“Oh god. You were phone!??”

  89. Archfeared Jun 10th 2009

    It’s ironic that this probably revived the meme, judging by the responses. They’ll probably replace phone with some other stupid object, like a kettle or brick.

  90. fail tbh

  103. unindeity Jun 10th 2009

    THEN WHO WAS BRICK

  104. @anooooooooony and Hahaha, if it doesn’t make sense, go to the creepypasta archives and look through the comments. Then come back when you’re a little more intelligent and try again. It’s like the “Heron” one posted on Halloween. :o Bet that’s a new concept, huh?

    As for the pasta? It was epic. ;)

    And now, we can always direct WHO WAS X comments here. It was funny the first 4,039,203 times, but after that, it just got old. Especially when it was commented on things that have no vagueness whatsoever. (”BUT WHO WAS LADDER?!” Seriously?).

    This is the hardest, most epic win to have evar existed in the history of teh internets

    You, my good sir/madam, have just won yourself an amazing 9,001 internets.

  155. xEmox4 Jul 8th 2009

    You know… I think this pasta actually kinda sucks. Never mind it’s awful… I don’t see why everyone else liked it so much. Or were they being sarcastic?

  156. Lonelyanon15 Jul 10th 2009

    @Emox4:

    There’s a meme that invariably pops up in responses to creepypasta. Usually it’s some variant of “WHO WAS X” where “X” was someone/something in the story (usually the ghost, ghoul, monster, ax-crazy japanese woman-spirit, etc.) This popped up from a really crappy old creepypasta which ended with “BUT WHO WAS PHONE”.

    This pasta that you read answers the age-old question of “Who was Phone”. It’s sort of a joke that you only get when you’re on /x/ for a while.

  173. Tumbleweed93 Oct 19th 2009

    I can imagine this being the form of some kind of eldritch horror that calls itself phone, and catches it’s victims like this, trapping them in the phone lines for eternity and feeding of the potential energy of all the victims days that they will never have.

    Am I thinking about this too much? Hm…..perhaps.
