Prank Phone Calls

[keithy_19]

After not having to deal with them for awhile, I had the fortune of dealing with one tonight. To me, a prank phone call can be a very good time for everyone, yet there's a few things that ruin prank phone calls for me.

1) I get them on my cell phone, so I see that the number is restricted. Dead give away.

2) Most people doing the calls are really hack. It lacks substance and intelligence. Plain and simple, they're not very good.

But I like to keep them going. I guess it shows lack of motive in my life that I take time to deal with these inane calls, but it can be fun. I enjoy twisting their stories. Asking questions, and playing along.

What say you kind sirs and maidens, what's your feelings on prank phone calls?

A dying/dead art form. Cell phones and caller ID have killed it.

It's been ages since I made/received a prank call, but playing along could be fun.

I'm always getting prank phone calls. It's usually someone who says they're from The Electric Company, or a credit card company, saying that I owe them money, and I should send them some money right away. I always, play along with them, and act like I'm gonna send the money. Then I hang up the phone and laugh and laugh. Good Times.

That's not a prank. You're just not stupid enough to fall for the scam. I can't remember the last time I got one at home, but we occasionally get them at work. Most of those, end up being friends, though.

When I was in highschool there was this one kid who was a real jerk and everyone hated. Someone found out that his dad had abandoned him and his mother when he was ten. So, sometimes when we'd get drunk on Saturday nights we'd call his house and one of us would say we were his daddy. We'd say shit like we had to leave because his mother's snatch smelled like moldy cheese.

On Monday morning he would be screaming at everyone. He figured it was one of us, but couldn't narrow it down. He was like Moe screaming when Bart pranks him on The Simpsons, making all sorts of wild random threats: "When I find out who it is I'm going to cut off his balls and force him to eat them." We would all pretend like we didn't know what he was talking about, then have a hearty laugh after he left.

One day he told how his mother had gotten very upset and spent the whole weekend crying. We felt really bad then so we stopped making the calls - about a year later. Yeah, come to think of it - we were real assholes.

. Yeah, come to think of it - we were real assholes.
At least you admit it now. Did you notice how Lilly showed how she was an ass as a kid in school? She talked about how people would make fun of a kid who's dad had killed himself. She said she didn't join in on it, but she did laugh. I hope she's not like that anymore.

as teens we looked through the phonebook and looked for funny last names. we called a Mr Roach and told him we were the exterminator and were coming to get him.

my neighbor Mr Paszul would take our ball if it went in his front yard. one day we ordered a bunch of pizzas to his house and sat and looked out my apt window to watch his conversation with the pizza delivery guy

not a home call but my buddy and I were on the Path heading to 33rd St from Grove St station. on the ride my buddy got up and grabbed the PA transmitter and in his best WC Fields accent says " next stop Albuquerque New Mexicooooo". It transmitted really loud through the cars. What seemed like seconds after he said it and sat down the driver of the train comes running into our car and yells "who just did that" he was standing a foot in front of us and we just looked him in the eye and said "not us"...

My calls were usually pretty lame. I'd call someone named Apple, and ask for Mr. Orange. Crap like that.

[prothunderball]

oh man, I just remebered I had a friend(really he was my friends brother, but I had hang out with him a lot) that actually got arrested for making prank phone calls. He was stupid enough to call the same numbe a few times and leave messages on the machine that talked about the guys kid. He ended up having to go through a bunch of bullshit and got one of those things that if you stay out of trouble for a year your record is erased.

When I was really little, a friend of mine would sometimes prank call the operator. My mom was one, and he got her. She recognized his voice right away. "Is that you, Jimmy Meeker? I'm going to tell your mom!"

Stupid prank we did as kids, but still makes me giggle:

person: hello?
pranker: banana
person: huh?
pranker: banaana
person: .....what?
pranker: BAH naaan na
person: ok
pranker: bananabananabananabananabananabananabananabananaba nanabanana*click*

dumb...but painfully amusing when you are 8.

Now i just leave perverted messages on friends voicemail, or imitate the message beep for 5 minutes. BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPP (breath) EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEP

i hate voicemail.

my wife's friend went to a club and parked her car with the valet-only there was no valet. A couple of days after we found out I called her impersonating an adjuster from her insurance company. I told her since she gave the keys to the thief we considered that collusion and therefore we were denying her claim. She started screaming and cussing and said that she would sue, etc. and then hung up.

Our phone rang immediately and she was on the phone crying, calling to explain what had just happened to her. I listened for a while and then responded in the same voice I had just used. Fucking flipped out. She wouldn't talk to me for weeks. I still smile when I think about it.

I called my Mom one time way back when(b4 caller ID) and pretended to be a police officer who found a mangled body identified as...me....she was hysterical...strike one

One night I got completely plastered and thought it would be really funny to crawl into my parent's bedroom to my Dad's side of the bed and whisper;"I'm gonna fuck yer wife,O.K.?"
he sat up in the bed(wide-awake) and replied:"I'll talk to you in the morning about this"...strike two


several years later,on a similar night(I was shitfaced & high) I passed out while I was munching out in front of the refrigerator(with the door open)only to wake-up to my Dad pouring piss on me.I moved out soon after that one!

When I was in like 6th grade me & my boys used to stay up late (9oclock) and call bowling alleys and ask them if they had 10lb balls...when they said yes we would ask them how they put their pants on (that old gag). We also called people at 2 in the morning saying we were from FPL (electric co) and ask them if their refrigerator was running...then we would tell them to go catch it. pretty stupid shit.

[Fezticle98]

Prank calls vs. Crank calls. I say prank. Discuss.

Some comedian said to call ex-girlfriends and tell them they should get tested.
