How someone played a prank on me.

I’m so sorry Deepak that somebody played such a terrible prank on you! I always believe that pranks should be such that its enjoyed by all and should never involve any loss for anybody. Its bad as it is that you lost Rs. 50 for no fault of your own, the fact that it was done by a friend, is like rubbing salt on your wound.

Hi dkp So you are on airtel This trick was around when there was hype that Chinese Handsets are having invalid IMIE numbers and you caould find the IMIE number of your handset using some code. I recieved one and guess what - it erased everything in the phone book. Heck. Luckily, I was using a hi-fi handset and had almost every data on the PC so was saved. Friends will be friends and will always try to have their set of fun by playing pranks on you or others in their circle. Though at times, you will feel bad (and yes when money is involved it pinches many a times) but i think one should realize that it was just a prank and move ahead... But yes, ask or tell the friend not to play such pranks again... That should keep the relation healthy.

Hullo Deepak! I would have hated this situation and am very angry with your friend for doing this. He has no business to do it. You may spend hundreds of fifty rupees on different occasions but that would be of your own choice. No one has a right to thrust anything on anyone else. To your questions a] Never has this happened to me. b]I would feel horribly disappointed and wonder what sort of friend this is if he cannot respect my nature. I would feel he has no right to have done this. c]I would never do such a thing. No chance whatsoever! D]Your friend was not right .He may be a close friend, but he cannot decide something for you and using your trusting nature to fool you is undesirable. The worst thing is you cannot get too angry with him because the amount is pretty insignificant but the expenditure is significant if you think of the purpose which is an unwanted caller tune. But what did you tell him?

Now I know who to remember on next April fool's day! Talking about this friend how could he have done this to you unless you two are very close and he sure knows that rupees fifty is nothing at all for you but the joy he got in fooling you was worth much more than that. You are the best judge whether to take this in your stride. You could get back at him when the occasion strikes and remember it should be atleast worth Rs. five hundred. One good turn deserves another. Anyway what are friends for if not to play the fool like this. May your friendship thrive!

Huh, such a friend. April's fool day passed weeks ago. Do tell him that you are angry and not to send you such messages ever again. I think back then I had such a friend. I stopped interacting with him and at the end I deleted his number. He felt it that I was angry and did not push the issue. Well, he was not such a good friend, though.

i have not been pranked by a friend but if ever my friend will do this to me I will be very angry and i will not speak to my friend. I will tell my friend that I have trusted him so much that i followed the fact that he stated and i am not happy for losing money on a caller tune that i did not want to buy. I would tell my friend that the money i lost to buying that tune is not earned very easily.

I wouldn't be impressed I'd be rather Annoyed. Especially if it signed me up to something that cost money.. I once sign up to something on the internet and they kept sending me texts that costed me money... that's not a nice prank.... I don't mind if its something silly, like jokes are meant to be, not stupidity that makes people angry...

If a friend did that to me I would be shocked at first, then embarrassed because I fell for it then angry at my so called friend for cheating me, lying to me and making a fool of me. What sort of friend does that?? I'm glad your friend realised he was very much in the wrong. I think by doing so, he has saved the friendship from being irretrievably lost.

I would not like anyone playing a prank on me this way. If I was fooled like this I would not repeat that trick on someone else.

I would be upset and angry. A supposed trusted and close friend. It would make me wonder how really close and trusted this person really is that they don't know I am not interested in such things. Or did they do it just to get a rise out of me? I would be sure to tell them they had better not do such a thing again and that they owed you $1.20!

Oh Dpk, do u complain this with your friend and ask your money back? i guess if you have an open communication with your friend and tel him/her how disappointed you are about this prank s/he may say sorry and give your money back. i have much text message like that but it comes from unknown person. so i just ignored it

Babyface dont cry. Thank god you have some friends like that. Well, in the beginning I did receive spam, and was not aware of it. Nowadays, I ignore such things. :) If a friend plays a prank like that on me, and if I do fall victim to it, then I would do something equally naughty.

Your friend is not a nice one in doing that to you. He pulled a prank at your expense. He could have told you earlier before doing it, that it's for a fee. Had i been you, i could have admonished him.

Hi dpk, Awww... I feel so sad for you! Your friend should have thought twice before sending you that message. Rather than being a prank, it was something that harmed you in some way. I would ask my money back with the friend if something of that nature happened to me..Like, really! I would never do such stuff to my friends. Prank is something intended for fun and when its over no one loses anything. But you lost your money, which is sad. I think you should warn him for any pranks of such kind in the future.

I do not think that it was right. What kind of friend would cost a friend money by playing a joke.That is more than a prank and it is not funny.

I do not feel comfortable from what your friend did to you. If I were you, i will be really angry and I will talk to him/her. Maybe he can give me a prank or a joke, but not to the extent that a bill will be got deducted. Since I do not have a money now, that is not a joke for me. I will not let him/her pass by it. On the other side, there are people like that and you have to deal with them. I believe in Karma and I hope it gets in their way.

Hi dpk~ I think that is a terrible thing that your friend did to you! I would be really angry! That isn't the least bit funny. I would have asked him to pay for the stupid call. That is incredibly immature to do something like that and extremely stupid. I would think alot about this particular friend and if it is even worth it having someone like that in your life!

Hi Deepak! That was not a very nice prank. I think that any prank that costs money is a little too far. I like joking around sometimes, but there is noway I would go that far. I think if it would have happened to me..I would have been a little mad.

Okay ! You owe me a bear now!

Good Morning dpk. Like most responders, I think your friend goes a bit out of line there. It is all very well and good to play pranks, but it should not cost the other person, especially in monetary terms. I'm like you, I don't like wasting money on those extra services. If anyone activated in on my phone, either accidentally or intentionally, I will not be happy. If I want a Caller Tune, I'd get one myself. Now, to your questions: (a)No one has ever played that kind of pranks on me. (b)If they do, I would be very angry (c)Not in a million years would I do a thing like that to anyone. (d)No, your friend went out of line doing this to you.
