Will you scream louder than Janet Leigh when the reveal happens?
Found the picture the other day while looking for source pictures and came across this one .. which grabbed me right away and told me the plot pretty much straight out. I knew it would be for Wendy, as she likes to be chubby and in her 30's and I think the model is in that range. I just needed a few minutes to figure out how to write it without just deliberately narrating a story matter-of-fact like.
Then it hit me, obviously Wendy had run home to get clean as soon as she could, and ignored the phone message. Honestly, I leave my cell phone next to my keys at the door, and I only use it when I'm out of the house. We have a "house phone" because .. reasons. And we never actually answer the phone, unless we see a name in Caller ID that we actually want to talk to said person at that time. And I don't check texts on my cell phone while I'm home either. Pretty much Facebook messenger works when I'm on the computer, which is usually the case!
So, when do I use my cell phone? Mostly when travelling to and from work. I try to keep from being bored, so I'll call friends and chat hands-free if anyone is available. Or if I'm texting the GF when we are in a store and I can't find her, or if I need to order something to eat and I'm on my way to pick it up, I'll use the appropriate app to get what I want.
This makes the caption almost dead on to me, though I do have a good cell phone. I just have a MUCH better computer with a 4k 40 inch monitor and a kick-ass internet connection. No need to use my phone much at all. I can totally appreciate this caption as something that COULD happen to me, if there was an actual chemical in my vicinity at work that could do this. Most likely I'd just get burned badly if something drenched me at my job.
Also, our phone message sounds an awful lot like the one in this caption. Try to make it boring so I don't give out any personal information .. I only included John because it's a caption for Wendy. We don't give out any names, just in case marketers are trying to mine the messages for information.
So, feel free to comment on this caption AND if you've not received a "bench" caption from me, please say so in the comments and leave your male and female name (though I am not sure you'll need the female name yet" and you just MIGHT star in an upcoming bench caption in the next few weeks! What more enticement do you need to comment? Hell, perhaps if you don't qualify for the bench caption, I'll make you something else instead!
