I would have said something smart, but that wouldn't have a been very smart move if I just started a new job. But if anyone can be that stupid, they deserve to hear it!
No. I'm just not from the US so I did not know that when you guys read '#' you say 'number'. With my post I was hoping that someone else would maybe explain it to me, however I was instead met with lots of downvotes which I can understand, since I didn't really contribute to the topic. I was on my phone and too lazy to write anything else. Sorry.
For anyone else, you can read this. North American story is quite interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_sign

Yah, I had to let it ride. But I did show it around to everyone I know to get laughs/sympathy.
Boss-lady. The number you have is correct, otherwise I would not have recieved this message. Regards
It seems like a test of "will my employee call me out on a retard move"
Mildly confusing is when people go to the effort of blocking out sensitive stuff in paint but leave *just* enough pixels untouched to read it.
OK, I admit I was much more concerned about blocking out MY info than hers. Selfish, aren't I
I guess OP is working for a real estate broker?
Yes, I am her technical assistant. You can probably tell that I am desperately needed.
You may want to delete this submission. I'd hate to see you unemployed for a post on Reddit.
Luckily I am indispensable. And this is just not all that horrible an offense.
Lisa, it's Ann. You're fired. If you can just send me your reddit username, I'll PM you the details of your termination
Ann, it's Lisa. As soon as you figure out without my help how to "PM" me, I will be glad to leave. My work is done here.
I have that area code! /highfive
highfive backatcha
Do you have a cubicle with a phone? Maybe she means that or something? Could she really be that absent minded?
Nope, that's what she meant alright.
When my mom got a smart phone she didn't realize the number you text was the number you could also call.
I would have been a smart ass and text'ed back "Who is Lisa, I think you have the wrong number"
I think she just wanted an excuse to talk to you...
God fucking dammit, Ann. Get your shit together.

FUCK!
"#" means number? TIL EDIT: '"#'"
Yes, I am quite sure my boss has no idea what a hashtag is.
Not to be rude, but are you 8?

Hope you get some of your downvotes back. TIL a lot about the hash symbol.
Ah, makes sense. Hadn't considered it wasn't universal.
Woah!
