Real or Fake?

In "Memoirs of a Geisha", one of the more popular games played in the geisha parlors involves a person telling three stories, two true, one false, and the other guests guessing which is the false story. At my 29th birthday party (did I really read that book six years ago?), I played the game with three other couples using stories from my life. To a degree, it was a competition to see which of my three friends knew me best. We had a lot of fun.

Below are three stories. Two of them are true stories I heard or read about in the news recently. One of them I've just made up. Which one is false?

1. A young man is riding the bus while using his mobile phone to chat with a woman he has met earlier in the week online. He is flirting with her and texts something humorous. A few rows up, a man in his forties, also texting on his cell phone, laughs then types something into his phone. Seconds later, the young man receives a witty reply that causes him to laugh out loud - too loud for the quiet bus. The older man looks over his shoulder giving the younger man a scornful look. The younger man sends a message that reads: "You made me laugh loud enough some guy just gave me a dirty look." As he clicks 'SEND', he receives a text back that reads: "Some guy on my bus just made a fool of himself by laughing too loud." The man in his forties quickly turns and gives the young man a startled look. They lock eyes for a very confusing few seconds before the older man abruptly exits the bus at the next stop. The young man never receives another message from the woman he met online.
2. Keeping track of multiple conversations is difficult enough using an online chat tool. Trying to do it with SMS is even more difficult. Case in point: a married woman (Sally) meets a married man at an industry convention. They discover they live in the same city and decide their companies would be a good fit for a business relationship. They exchange numbers. A few days later, while out running errands, Sally receives a voicemail from a business associate telling her she's planning to stop by in the afternoon and needs her address. Sally sends her address via text with the message: "Key is under the mat. I'll be home at 2. C u then!" Moments later, the man Sally met at the industry convention replies back with "Okay, I'll see you then! :-)" An embarrassing phone call to clarify the mix up then followed.
3. A woman and her young son, about nine, are hiking in one of the many desert mountain parks in the American Southwest. They believe they are following a trail loop but eventually find themselves lost. Unable to locate a trail or even determine a way back to their car, the woman calls 911 from her cell phone. After explaining their situation, the 911 operator tells her to wait where she is and help will be there soon. Less than a minute later, the woman receives a text message that reads: "Is this you?". Attached to the message is a satellite image of her and her son sitting on the side of the mountain.

  

Isn't technology great? Which one of the stories did I invent?
