Then who was X

Who was phone? He was phone, motherfucker.

"THEN WHO WAS X" is a meme originating on 4chan's /x/ board. Most commonly, 'X' is 'Phone,' due to the original story. Newfags will frequently post "THEN WHO WAS X" if there is absolutely ANY vagueness in creepypasta. Go ahead, go to /x/ and post a vague story. But be prepared for floods of "THEN WHO WAS" spam, because it will happen.

The original creepypasta

	“	So ur with ur honey and yur making out wen the phone rigns. U anser it n the vioce is "wut r u doing wit my daughter?" U tell ur girl n she say "my dad is ded". THEN WHO WAS PHONE?	„

Actual answer

A father is not the only person who can have a child or a raspy voice. Her mother was phone.

Variations

There aren't many kinds of the original story, although there must be over nine thousand kinds of BUT WHO WAS-. Common examples include "Then who was internet" and "Then who was post."

	“	oK so basicaly its like this. youare at a friends house for like the night or watever and then you guys are making out on the couch (yeah!) and then like.. her dad calls on the phone and says “no i she likes it more if you use the other hand… yeah” and your alllike “oh dude your dad is trying to give me advice on how to diddle you” and then she’s like… “i don’t have a dad..” or whatever… but what!? WHO WAS PHONE?	„

Trap Version:

	“	One night, you are sitting on the couch with your GF, and the phone rings. You pick it up, and a raspy voice says; Wtf are you doing with my daughter? You freak out and hang up the phone. You go back to your girlfreind who asks who was on the phone. You say it was her dad, asking wtf you were doing with his daughter. She says her dad has no daughters and pulls out her dick and roughly fucks your tender pink asshole. THE END	„

Counter Strike version:

	“	So yur with guerilla and yur planting bomb wen chat appears. U read the chat and the text is "wut r u doing with my base". U tell the guerilla and he say "GIGN is ded". then who was chat?	„

Verbose version:

	“	Theoretically, you and your romantic partner, who is most likely of the female gender, are accompanying each other, when the cellular telephone, of which you are the legal owner, abruptly emits an audible tone, which is highly likely to be your default sound that will play when someone from another location, usually within your country of residence, depending on your telephone carrier or provider, inputs a finite pattern composed of numerical units into their legally owned cellular telephone, which in turn will send a wave that goes through a complex process that includes radios and telephone towers. You walk over to the area that the cellular telephone is physically placed, and you translate the telephone receiver from it's resting area, where it is mechanically constructed to fit into, all the way in the direction towards your ear drums, and then place the northern part of the device to your ear, and then place the southern part near your mouth, most likely onto your cheek. A voice that resembles that of an adult male proclaims "What activity are you currently in the process of completing, that involves having my female offspring attend!?". You immediately notify your female romantic companion, and she educates you on the objective fact that the paternal guardian that she normally refers to as "Father" has stopped living some time in the past, and is also currently deceased. If the details of this story are in fact, the truth, than it is now your duty to answer the question of 'Who was calling you and your romantic companion on your cellular telephone?'.	„
	—quote

Super Mario version:

	“	So U are Withe Youre bitcha and you arE licking her feet wen your Siemens squilla. You presse de geereenno button "CHE STAI FACENDO CON MIA FIGLIA??" you telle your bitcha n she say "My pimp is ded". who was Siemens?	„

BREAKING NEWS: PHONE HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED

This was discovered by L3G1ONNA1RE on December 13 2009 at 10:20:39 while eating KFC mac and cheese and posted it on /b/

However, /x/ seems to disagree. As posted one evening,

“

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!??"

„

Actually, phone is really Captain Crunch spoofing his caller ID to impersonate moot.
