My little brother and I used to make them all the time - then along came call display... and with it another type of call... from the police. Yeah, that kind of stopped us from proceeding with the fun! haha! :p

It makes no sense now.. but it did at the time.

I don't make prank calls. When sales advertisments call me, I ask them odd questions.

No, cuz I have caller ID and therefore assume everyone else does, too. :p

My dad does prank calls all the time, especially with soundboards. When people call back to complain he just blames it on me haha :p

It's actually pretty funny, I don't mind him blaming me because does it really matter? You can get away with more if you do it that way.

I've rung people up and done the odeon filmline thing 'welcome to odeon filmline, olease say the name of the cinema you are calling for............etc.....'which has got people confused

and I used to pretend to be calling from Anne Summers about the person ordering a vibrator and it now being in stock, that has got some amusing responses including making a lad in my year cry

When I was 10 yrs old, my friend dared me to call up the Coca-Cola hotline, and tell them that Pepsi was better. :)

This one deserves some background:
I am on a debate team, and we go to a lot of tournaments at which we have to stay overnight in a hotel. As you might guess no one gets much sleep. At the Berkely tournament last year it was 1 AM or so but much of the team was still up. One of the team members was alseep, though, which annoyed the rest of us. So we decided to prank call him.

More background: one of our coaches is a chain smoker, and at this tournament he was doing so quite profusely because he was stressed. When we called the sleeping team member mentioned above one of us pretended to be our coach asking for cigarette money. The person we called believed it completely, but wouldn't give the "coach" any money. So we let him sleep. We then called back at two AM with his hotel wake-up call. Though he remembers the second call, to this day he claims he was asleep when he answered the first.

Dares are awesome! Haha! Oh me and my little bro used to play the funniest game when we were drinking! If you can picture it:

Fifteen to twenty 15-17 year old boys and girls, sitting around the kitchen table in the middle of winter dressed in full on snowboard gear (boots, gloves, pants, jacket, helmets, goggles... the works) Every time someone takes a drink they make a dare (read: one hell of a lot of dares!)... Events for the night included various sporting activites as: Running around the house naked (yes naked) and rolling around in the snow as such while polishing off a beer, standing under the streetlight and singing 'on top of spaghetti' at the top of our little lungs while naked (sensing a trend here?), golfing naked down the street towards houses... (yeah, I admit, that was pushing the limits of stupidity), the boys calling the 'Tampax Hotline' to complain about fit and performance while pretending to be girls, the girls calling the 'Erectile Difficulties Hotline' to complain about certain inabilities while pretending to be men... oh it goes on... nothing but trouble! Man I miss those days!

I called them up, and told them I liked Pepsi better, and the lady was like, "You're a little punk, I should call the police on you." Then she hung up. I proceeded to get high on sugar and caffeine with my friend.

I'm such a prankster! :p

Never. I don't think they're very funny.

*blink* Seriously! It's just not my type of humor, believe it or not. :p

Well, I do play with telemarketers because they get on my nerves, but I don't think that counts.

I have to agree with Lunatic, I don't think they're funny. Or course, that might be because some idiot called me at 3:13AM and just screamed like a mad person until I hung up...

I have never made a prank call - I'd end up laughing halfway through and give myself away.

At this moment, some kids of my town are on a prank call spree - for two weeks, two major school distrcts have received a bomb threat call every day. One boy was caught and I guess his pals are still at large - calling in to the schools every day.

What?

I had to get off the PC, but now this topic is easy to find in my recent posts, that's what.

I was once in this school history quiz thing, which involved sessions after school. Somehow, I can't remember why, my teacher had to write letters to the other participants, and so had a big book with the contact details of lots of schools which he was copying addresses out of. Someone then copied down the phone number of one of the schools while he wasn't looking (it hapened to be one of the schools which we regard as our 'rivals', which made it all the funnier), and then proceded to phone up the school on his mobile, making it untraceable and putting it on speaked, and pretended to be interested in sending 'his son' to the school, but made 'his son' a bit too old so they'd have to say no...then once they'd said that he went into a big flamboyant argument with the secretary for a few minutes about how he knew the school was rubbish from the start and how bad they were, and that he wouldn't be recommending it to any 'parents' he knew, and that he knew from the start that our school was much better, and that he'd just send his son to our school. At that he cut off abruptly. :p

It was hilarious....we were just sitting there laughing uncontrollable listening to this frustrated secretary shouting every now and again "What's this hilarity!?". :)

Me and my friends made this hilarious call once. We were picking a random number, and we phoned the person. Here's how it was:

Lady: Hello?
Us: Hello, we recieved a call from your number, did you prank call us?
Lady: No.
Us: Really? Did your grandfather call us?
Lady: *Freaks outs* I'M EIGHTY TWO! MY GRANDFATHER'S DEAD!
Us: Okay then what about your wife?
Lady: I'm a woman!
Us: Okay then what about your neighbor?
*Lady hangs up*
