Yeah. She did the same to us.
I don't think it dawned on us that it would be her calling us right back, so when the voice on the other end said "may I speak to your mother please" we got our mom and then handed her the phone. |

I stopped using them when it started to cost more than a dime to call someone who gives a shit.

The Classic:
A radio station was running a competition - words that weren't in the dictionary yet could still be used in a sentence that would make logical sense. The prize was a trip to Bali. DJ: "96 FM here, what's your name?" Caller: "Hi, my name's Dave." DJ: "Dave, what's your word?" Caller: "Goan... spelt G-O-A-N pronounced 'go-an'." DJ: "You are correct, Dave, 'goan' is not in the dictionary. Now, for a trip to Bali: What sentence can you use that word in that would make sense?" Caller: "Goan fuck yourself!" The DJ cut the caller off and took other calls, all unsuccessful until: DJ: "96 FM, what's your name?" Caller: "Hi, me name's Jeff." DJ: "Jeff, what's your word?" Caller: "Smee, spelt S-M-E-E, pronounced 'smee'." DJ: "You are correct, Jeff, 'smee' is not in the dictionary. Now, for a trip to Bali: What sentence can you use that word in that would make sense?" Caller: "Smee again! Goan fuck yourself!"? |

My friend Amber and i used to call up random numbers in the phone book and recite poetry, written by elementary school kids, on their answering machines in
deep voices.

Technically he was right. He should have won the trip. What stupid made-up word won instead?

Once some kids called my aunt and asked "Is your refrigerator running?" She said, "No." They didn't know what to say and hung up.

When we were kids a buddy had a "cellular phone" and we'd take it to the back of the grocery store parking lot and call the payphone that was
right inside the door. "Hi, can you get us some eggs while you're in there" and such.

we would also call random people in the phone book and when they would say "who is this?" we would be like "come one who do you think it
is...." and on and on, we would get some people who actually thought they knew us.

npr had a hilarious voice mail from some guy's mother that made the rounds when he was in college. everybody who went to that school heard it...she was
going on about how his girlfriend was a slut or some such thing. anybody hear that one?
i got pranked once and still can't talk about it, it was a discussion on tampons. that's all i'll say. we had the teacher phone directory for my school district, good times. |

The successor to prank calls (you really can't do it anymore) is IM spamming and Vent harassment. I've got balls of steel!

Someone I used to know used to do this prank call, to just one specific confused person @ our high school:
"yes means no, no means yes! If you don't say anything, you're on drugs! Are you on drugs?!" He would stutter & no matter his response, my friend would blurt "you're on drugs!!!!!" It was so stupid now that I think about it. Sorry, to Ted. |

I used to call random people, pretending to be the operator, informing them that I would be redialing their number for some bullshit test or some other
reasonably plausible excuse, but for them not to answer. We would hang up and I would call them back and let the phone ring and ring and ring until they
eventually answered. Then I'd yell, "I told you not to answer the phone, fuckface!" Ah, that takes me back.
