The Envoy of the Beginning Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I've never done it. If I have to harass someone, I'd rather do it face to face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agro Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 No, it can sometimes be horribly cruel due to lack of face-to-face interaction. One example is what a friend of mine was saying - she called a random number, and it happened to be an old lady whose daughter had apparently run away for some few months. The old lady mistook her for her own daughter and thought that she had finally called home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananas Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I used to do it with my friends when we were like 12 because we thought we were top shit. School camps and birthday parties were where it happened most. Now it's just lost its fun. We've got better things to do than waste our phone credit on telling some random they're pregnant.

California Mountain Snake Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 My brother and I prank called the police when were were 5 or 6. And for a day we kept calling back the same telephone operator. Fuck you civil servants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6734 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Back when I was 11, I prank called the store my mom works at and got in trouble. Yeah, I was that fucking retarded. I try not to think about those days. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bohemund Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) Never done it. My humor is best in person. Also, I'd probably of gotten caught and punished by my mother. My father would have just joined in, knowing him. Edited March 18, 2009 by Bohemund Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yuli Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I never did it before, but I do enjoy hearing one. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Tyler Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 THe last time I done it was I was 7 or 8 years old. I made a bomb threat to a business telling them there was a bomb on the roof of their business and the lady was like "Where?!" And I said "The bomb...ITS UP YOUR ASS!!!" I laughed and hang up the phone. The next call was from my local police department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Father Wood Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I've never done one before, but my dad has many times to his siblings and parents as some dumb southern guy. On a band trip this one dude also prank called random numbers that popped up on sign ads everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnell Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I've never personally done it, but I witnessed a really hilarious one once. I don't waste my time on those kind of things. Because while it's hilarious for the person doing it, it can be really irritating to the people receiving the call. Someone called my friend's phone when were riding a bus together. My friend didn't know who it was, so another guy took the phone and called the person back, eventually leaving a message. He then started accusing the person of being a Russian communist who was working with a network of spies to infiltrate the U.S. And he did the whole thing with an exaggerated British/French accent. Later, he called him back and explained how his partner Harry had been eliminated and his other partner John was "eating tea and crumpets for eternity". Then the dude answered the phone, and the guy on the bus said his name was Brecht or something. Me and my friend were like, "oh crap" because it was a guy we knew named Bret. Needless to say, we haven't told Bret about that ordeal yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inactive Account Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 My friend and I used to. It was never anything serious; heck, it was never anything that made sense. We'd call our teacher from the bus after school, mumble something like "One by one, the penguins slowly steal our sanity," and hang up. We didn't even think it was that hilarious- we were just really bored. Though if I were ever to make one last prank call, it would definitely be, "Is your refrigerator running?"

CGV Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I used to do it. I got some drunk guy on the other line once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Wright Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 (edited) A few times. Quite funny, but it got boring fast. EDIT: Isn't it called crank calling? Like the old show Crank Yankers? Edited March 18, 2009 by FEFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I never did, but some friends of mine did at a party. I couldn't pull it off because I'll just start cracking up before the punchline and ruin it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inactive Account Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 ^That's why I failed at it. I'd always try to spew nonsense in a serious voice, then just crack up instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deity Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 No, never done it, though friends use to call me a lot and make pranks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolDeath Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Lost the urge when I was about 11, but I have discovered something more fun. Wait for someone to prank call you and prank them instead. Yell at them, then pretend that someone in the room with you did something and you are yelling at them, then hit something really loud and scream "oh my God he's dead" in a different voice.
