Prank Calls!

I pulled a prank on someone once that kept calling my house thinking it was a pizza place. So the third time I took their order and they said they would pick the pizza up.. I wonder what they thought when their pizza was not there.

Not prank calls but blank calls where no one would speak from the other end

Now you are giving me some ideas how to use those free calls..

I had a friend who was very good for prank calls when I was a student. He was looking for an interesting name in the phone directory and was calling. The first prank in your post reminds me a call that he gave to a guy named "Lelièvre", it would be "Hare" in English... at 2 am ! The phone rang during 2 mn before a man not completely awakened said "Hello" - Mr Hare ? "Yes it is me." - I'd like to speak to Mrs Hare. Could you pass her the phone, please ? "What ? Don't you know that it is 2 am ? She is sleeping. What is it about ?" - I cannot tell you, it is personal. Sorry to have awakened you but I would not have done it if it was not important. Hand her the phone, please. "Who are you ?" - It is a personal call, she will recognize me. "Wait a moment." 2 mn later, Mrs Hare said "Hello" - Have I the honor to speak to Mrs Hare ? "Yes." - Sure ? What is your first name ? I want to be sure that I am speaking to the right person. "Magalie." - Ok Magalie. I wanted to tell you... that you are not running very fast for a couple of hares !

fer pity sakes :( aint folks got better thingies to do? ya know, like chase those poke thingies'n fall 'nto holes? noperz, aint been privy to any pranks, though many years 'go used to get some odd calls - courtesy 'f my phone number bein' one number off a popular tourist attraction :)

that is actually hilarious! I wouldn't think of reporting such calls though. It's not hurting anyone.

The only time I have fooled anyone is on April Fools' day.

Maybe April fool pranks, but that was nothing really.

hahahahahaha, I am surprised you didn't have a quip come to mind!

Oops! I found a photo on pixabay for you "embarassing"

I would have put her on hold, said "Not that I know of, but let me pass you on to my manager," and let your manager join in on the fun.

I haven't had those pranks called on me in ages, unless you're talking about those political calls that want you to give them your time so you can answer their questions. I politely slam the phone in their ear.

So did you handle the call the way the company expected you to?

They were probably too embarrassed so you could not find anyone to fit the bill. I think people that make prank calls need to get a life. I have at times when kids are on vacation calling me up and then hanging up or asking for someone and keep calling. I have a private phone number so they pick a number to call and stick with it. They must be very bored or Mom and Dad are not home to tell them to stop it.

No prank calls! But I've encountered a prank text back in the days! A guy I know got a new number (not on purpose, his contract was out & over a decade ago it was common to just get a new number then to stick with the same number) Anyway every night he would text me saying he's outside my house waiting for me. To peek outside my window blah blah. Went on for a few days or week I don't remember. Ultimately I said if he doesn't tell me who he is I'll report him or her to the police. He confused I was so annoyed!

Well, I only answer if I recognize the number. If a friend does this I threaten to visit.

In the past, we would get a lot, trying tp get the attention of my sisters. With the advent of cellphones, nobody dares anymore.

You disappointed me with your answer. lol

I must live a boring life, no one ever does that to me. and NO I will not give you my phone number. Funny about the lady on the phone at work!

I use to get called from people that don't say nothing when I answer.
