Had lunch with a friend, after which he had a phone job interview scheduled. When I got home from work I was curious how it went, so I texted him.
Me: How'd the interview go.
Friend: He got into a car accident, so it didn't
[I have now assumed that his girlfriend has possession of his phone and is responding for him]
Me: WTF? Really?
[no response]
Me: We had lunch a block and a half from work, what happened? And is he okay
the Girlfriend: Don't know details, his admin was just told to cancel all his meetings, she doesn't know any more.
Me: So you haven't talked to him yet?
[no response - now I'm wracking my brain trying to piece together why she has his phone but doesn't know details, hasn't talked to him, and isn't saying whether he's okay.]
Me: Well, let me know when you know more, and if there's any way we can help
Girlfriend: Oh, no worries. He's trying to reschedule. Hope the dude's okay
[err, that's a weird thing for the girlfriend to say.]
Me: Wait, who is this?
Girlfriend?: Who's what? The dude I had the interview with?

Oooooooooooh! The "he" who had an accident was... and the whole time it wasn't...
I graduated high school with a 4.3 GPA you know.
